No Overbooking for Private Jets
Posted by admin on September 21st, 2008 filed in Uncategorized
There’s this one time, I was leaving for Australia to pursue a good business opportunity. I was to meet these bigshot investors upon my scheduled arrival. I would have preferred to take an earlier flight to allow for leeway just in case there would be setbacks. I didn’t want the investors to be kept waiting because I know I have to make a good impression of myself. But I didn’t have any choice. I had to take the last flight which was the only flight that checked me in on a last minute booking. At the airport, there came two flight attendants randomly approaching passengers and asking for volunteers to give up their seats. They say the flight was overbooked and they would compensate or offer free air tickets to those who would agree to take the flight the following day. I found it funny at first, but when I noticed that my flight was seriously getting delayed because they couldn’t get any volunteers, I didn’t find it amusing anymore. Because of their careless overbooking, I was at a risk of losing a good business deal. We arrived in Australia eventually, but the annoyed look on my investors’ faces as they waited for my at the lobby got me so worried. I still bagged the deal because my proposal was too good for them to pass up, but I never want to put myself in that situation again. The next time I have to travel, I’m definitely taking a Private jet charter. With a Jet charter, I’m sure to avoid any setbacks on the way. Besides, Private jets don’t get overbooked.
