How to Tell a Good Charter Service Provider
Of the many questions asked over lunch, one that stood out was, “How do you know a good charter service provider from one that may not be up to par?” The difficult answer is, unfortunately with a free marketplace, there are literally thousands of people portraying themselves as charter service providers in the industry today. One way to differentiate one from another is their willingness to show you their facilities and talk about their rigorous safety standards. They will be proud to discuss their recurrent training for pilots and their stringent maintenance procedures. They’ll have a round-the-clock operation seven days a week, and be ready to take your call when you want to travel, or even just change your itinerary. Believe it or not, not every charter service provider offers these most basic of aviation necessities.
   
Another way is to look at their resources. Does the company have a “bricks and mortar” facility, or are they just a Web page on the Internet? These days it can be difficult to distinguish a bona fide aviation company from one that has only an Internet presence. Now more than ever, it’s buyer beware.
   
“Privileged Travel clients should know that from Denver, to Düsseldorf, to Dubai – Jet Aviation has facilities all over the globe in North and South America, Europe, the Middle and Far East,” Seidel said, “In fact, we operate over 60 aviation service facilities worldwide. We’re never far from where you need – or want – to fly.”
   
On the way back to Teterboro, things went just as smoothly – and quickly. We were dropped off at the airport by The Greenbrier, immediately boarded the plane, and were aloft in seconds. The guests quietly savored the day’s sojourn as the dessert cheeses and fresh fruit made the rounds in the cabin, along with some fabulously fragrant German Rieslings.  

Endless Possibilities
Imagine the possibilities. We could have flown anywhere, to storied St. Andrews for a round of golf or to St. Tropez for a swim. You could take clients to lunch, or the family on vacation. A group of friends could purchase a 10-hour card and jet away to the golf courses of their dreams. The possibilities are endless, and that’s the beauty of Privileged Travel.
   
But on this particular day it was White Sulphur Springs, in all its pastoral loveliness. We had gone to West Virginia for lunch, and were back in New Jersey the same afternoon. “We knew we had made some new converts,” said Seidel.
   
So next time you are suddenly seized by the need for what is possible, remember the Privileged Travel card and the day you read about it. Your choices and possibilities will suddenly multiply the day you decide to become a cardholder.
