Hitchhiking Goes High Style

By Linda Tancs

Brother, can you spare a–flight?  You know times are tough when even luxe travelers find ways to cut corners.  A new service matches charter flyers with potential partners to reduce the costs of private flights. Prospects must join a social networking-type site (sort of like a LinkedIn for flyers) and then check for any flights of interest. Who knows, with commercial carriers taking hits left and right, this could become the preferred method of getting from A to B.

New Era in Flight Sharing

By Linda Tancs

Okay, Virgin really needs to stop pioneering everything or else we’ll need to rename the blog Virgin Travelrific.  In his latest endeavor, Branson has unveiled Virgin Charter, a flight charter company offering a less pricey alternative to private flying–those selections being plane ownership (yes, that could get expensive), timesharing (you might lose control over your selections), or jet cards (you prepay for miles you expect to fly).  So if you’re looking to fly 20 or so of your closest friends to the pistes in Aspen, VC will find you the charter that puts the smallest dent in your wallet.  You could even bid on an empty leg and get a bargain.  Check it out at www.virgincharter.com
