Taking the Joy of Flying to the Next Level!

Most people don't enjoy flying, but it sure beats driving in most cases. After the long conversation about commerical airline companies the other day, it got me thinking about all the reasons I hate flying commercial. But is there a better solution? 

I have a long history of working in the aviation industry, from working for an aviation fuel company, fueling commercial jet and my favorite, working in the private aviation industry. Most think that private aviation is for the very rich and famous, and it is. The cost for a large private plane such as a Challenger or Gulfstream to opperate is around $7,000.00 or more an hour. That sure would add up quickly! I have been lucky enough to fly on private jets a few time due to woking in the industry, and it is an amazing experience. Just like most people though, I can't afford my own private jet, so I fly commercial on all my personal flights.

But just like SouthWest and Ryan Air have changed the commercial aviation industry, there is a new company in the private aviation industry that is doing the same. The name of this company is Jetsuite, which fly only two times of planes. The first is a Citation CJ3 and the other is an Embreare Phenom 100. What makes these planes so unique is there small but spacious size with amazing fuel economy. The Phenom can fly higher than commercial planes at 47,000 feet and 480 miles per hour making a more smother and faster flight for the customer. The other advantage this company has with only operating these two times of planes is the lowered cost associated with maintenance and pilots. Pilots hired with the company are certified on both aircraft as well as the maintenance crews that work on them. 

Jetsuite is making it possible to fly private at the at the price of commercial. You can book flights to most any destination with just a simple phone call. If you are a spontaneous person this company also offer what they call the "Suite Deals" that offer one-way flight on a private jet on selected empty leg trips. These deals can run from $500-$1075 depending on the length of the trip. 

So next time you plan a trip and dread the headache of the commercial airport, all the hidden fees and the forever changing rules and regulation. Maybe check out what Jetsuite has to offer, and enjoy a relaxing, care-fee trip to your destination! 

The Power of Perfection

Well after just spending a few days out of the cold and down in the sun of mexico, it's back to reality. I must say that I was super impressed with the resort we stayed at. From a marketing perspective this company did not miss a beat. Every thing was done to perfection right down to the last detail. Im not sure what company owns the resort but the resort name and/or logo was on everything, right down to all the glass doors. (Secrets of Maroma, and there logo is this cute little sea shell)

I have worked before in the guest ranch industry, so I do have a bit of insight in the time and effort it takes to make a place like this run smoothly. This resort made you fell that you were the only ones there, everything was so personable, everyone was so helpful and always happy.

When I look at there Marketing side, and kind of how they run as a business, you can tell they strive for perfecton in every little detail and want to give their customers the experience of a life time. Some examples would be the way the clean your room twice a day, even if you haven't been in the room all day. They made sure that at night the room was ready and during the day they did the same. I was most impressed with the cheek in and out experience. They was no front counter like a regular hotel, they had 6 desks set up, 3 on each side of the grand entrance. They had two chairs at each, like you were at a personal meeting and it was only you that matter and was going to be taken care of.

This resort knew who there target audience was, and had an amazing solution to giving them a vacation that I know I will never forget.
