Door to Door DCs
I’ve been waiting for a DC that offered “Door to door” vacations*.
* A local limo picks up the family and luggage.
* A personal business jet (one of the new $2 M small ones) flys you to your destination and then a DC owned car, rental car, or limo is standing by. The reverse when going home.
If the DCs got into a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday AM and PM check-in, one jet can handle 6 owners each week.
Now that’s 6-star luxury that a Fractional or Timeshare or Condo-Hotel can’t touch.
* Of course at your destination the DC would have a membership in a private golf course and/or own yachts.
This will happen; there are too many folks with big bucks that want to be treated 1st class on vacation and will gladly pay for all of this.
P.S.
All of this is possible if they get away from Days of usage to Points. A Points Club can handle this with no problem - you buy the points you need and spend them how you see fit. Ownership of assets would be paramount here.
P.P.S.
We are on vacation in Las Vegas this week. It is embarrassing to fly now. Standing in line at the airport, with my shoes and belt in the plastic bucket has me wondering when will someone treat me with some respect on vacation - my government sure doesn't.
Our flight took off at 8 AM and we were at the airport at 6 AM parking the car a mile away, taking a run down bus to the airport, hauling the luggage to a Kiosk to wait for the folks ahead of me trying to figure out how to check in. The shuffling in lines, paying double for 1st class service only to get a breakfast that costs me $600 for the both of us.
I get no respect.
