Simple Charters: Instant Private Flights

Would be good to see anonymised examples of real flight charters so it's possible to get a feel for what a private flight might cost. Might save on tyre-kickers or encourage those who would've guessed it out of their league.<p>I really like how Flight Fox does this in showing sample trips. It allows you to see the sort of savings they've been able to find.

'Real customers. Real reviews.' (<a href="http://www.simplecharters.com/how-it-works" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplecharters.com/how-it-works</a>)<p>featuring some real people <a href="http://bit.ly/Wo7h8T" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/Wo7h8T</a><p>stock photography has its place...but not beside this paragraph: "The idea of trusting a broker with your flight is crazy nowadays. Before you book your flight you can read real reviews from verified customers. Never again will you have to worry about whether or not you're getting a good deal, or will have an excellent flight!"

I never understand why sites feel the need to include the date in a copyright banner/footer (or why the copyright is even needed since it is automatically the case). But if you are going to do it, then make sure you update it otherwise it could be coming up to the end of February and a viewer seeing the previous year could wonder if the site is dead/stale/not maintained.

Don't the people who would use a service like this already have the money to use a consierge or assistant who would do the booking for them?

I'd be really interested to see the pricing/commercials around this too. There was a startup that did exactly this a few years back that got Branson's attention and turned into Virgin Charter: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Charter" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Charter</a> - I believe it got hit by the 2009 financial downturn.

I don't see prices anywhere, but I'm assuming this is one of those "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" type things.

would love to have an idea of what something like this would cost.

Didn't Warren Buffett run something like this? He always talks about how bad the airplane business is.

Someone over there might want to take care with leftover bootstrap bits<p><a href="http://www.simplecharters.com/assets/ico/apple-touch-icon-57-precomposed.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplecharters.com/assets/ico/apple-touch-icon-57...</a>

Thanks for all the great input, especially the stock image and the bootstrap bits. That's since been fixed. It's tough to see this stuff yourself when you're staring at a problem for hours.

The affiliate programs for private jet travel can be $5k+ per referral. Seems like a good model.

looks like they're infected by the disqus ad campaign :(((

I was just thinking about this very thing yesterday. Neato.
