More Travelers Avoiding Private Jet Companies

Dec 26
2011

As the holiday season approaches, millions of business travelers are flying around the globe on a daily basis. But as air travel becomes more frequent, less companies are dealing with private jet companies in order to arrange chartered flights. That’s because Charter Hound. a new model of searching for flights and finalizing bookings, has emerged and costs far less and presents many more options to its users.

The traditional wisdom of travel agents has been to work with private fleets or encourage their clients to purchase a jet card. The problem with going that route has usually been the high prices involved with positioning and maintenance fees, as well as the contracts that come along with jet membership programs. Specifically, blackout periods fall at inopportune times throughout the year.

One way corporations circumvented this problem was by buying planes or entering into fractional ownership with other entities. This was obviously not an option for businesses with lower operating budgets. Thanks to a service like Charter Hound, though, companies can view rates and aircrafts across hundreds of different fleets without paying any sort of fee beforehand.

Charter Hound also prides itself on its principle of never soliciting personal information from users before they have decided to book a flight. Practically every online charter resource wants customers to enter a name, company and email address before moving forward, making the shopping process stagnant and incredibly difficult for users to compare prices in more than one place. To the contrary, Charter Hound lets users set their own rates and begin shopping from there.
