Private jets and the travel industry
At the weekend the Daily Telegraph launched their Telegraph Travel Awards – recognised as Britain’s most trusted survey of consumer travel choices. The annual awards ask the newspaper’s readers to give their views of travel companies and destinations across a number of categories.
The survey is very comprehensive and therefore takes a few minutes to complete. But the reward for a lucky few winners, is a staggering collection of 40 travel prizes – worth £800,000 in total.
Unfortunately, as one of the prize sponsors, we’re unable to enter ourselves! But it’s certainly a desirable collection of ultimate travel experiences. We’re offering a prize of a unique private jet trip to Jersey in a Citation XL, with a three-course, three-venue Michelin star lunch and VIP transportation on the island – courtesy of Luxury Jersey Hotels.
Some of the other prizes include a weekend in the stunning Chalet N in Oberlech; a private island holiday on Velaa Island in the Maldives; a 12-night private tour of India with The Ultimate Travel Company; and the chance to design and stay in your own bespoke suite at the Icehotel in Swedish Lapland.
It’s great to see private jet travel sitting side-by-side with these other travel brands, as part of this prize collection. Our industry has too often been seen a niche offering, with its own complex and inaccessible pricing and booking methods. I’m happy to say that’s no longer the case. At PrivateFly our mission is to present private jet travel as a more transparent travel option for the luxury and business traveller – both to the end user themself, and to the wider travel industry.
As a result, we are now the partner of choice for many travel brands who want to present private jet options to their clients, as part of a portfolio of travel products. These include luxury and corporate travel agents; Travel Management Companies; and concierge services. We provide our partners with branded website content, including our instant quoting tool, which means they have private jet information and pricing at their fingertips – so they can suggest and recommend private jet travel options when it’s appropriate for their clients.
Breaking down the barriers to working with the wider industry is very important to the growth of private aviation – it’s a key area of opportunity as we come out of the economic downturn. So we’re very happy to be involved in this year’s Telegraph Travel Awards.
Enter the Telegraph Travel Awards 2014 to be in with a chance of winning our private jet prize trip and the other fantastic travel prizes on offer.
