MARRIAGE PROPOSALS TAKE OFF WITH PRIVATE JET COMPANY
- SwiftJet Says "I do" To Creating Romantic Travel Experiences -

 

( TORONTO – February 4, 2009) Getting ready to pop the question? Why not get down on one knee 33,000 feet above the ground with SwiftJet, a Canadian private jet charter company is making marriage proposals sweeter with the launch of their “Love is in the Air” proposal flight packages starting at $3,500.

The company is offering a unique romantic experience with champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and red roses delivered right to the jet, to make any marriage proposal a unique and memorable one. SwiftJet’s luxury jet will pamper love birds with leather seats, including a sofa style seating to cuddle up to your loved one, soft lighting, and on-board entertainment including a CD player for setting the mood with love songs.

"Romance doesn’t stop because times are bad," said Bassam Al-Sarraj, President of SwiftJet and a commercial pilot with 14 years of experience. “Marriage proposals are very private and personal, and you just can’t share this kind of moment in a commercial plane. It’s probably one of the most exciting places to tell someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with them. If you want to show them that the sky is the limit, this is one way to do it.”

Private jets can also add glamour to destination weddings where couples tying the knot in warmer locations are increasing in popularity. Brides and grooms can take off to their wedding or honeymoon destination in style or bring wedding guests to the nuptial’s location. A round trip to the Bahamas can cost approximately $26,500. When shared by nine guests on board, this comes to just under $3,000 each. With rising costs of commercial plane tickets, inconvenient flight schedules and long line ups at the airports, the private jet is becoming a worthy alternative.

Planning for weddings can be hectic and stressful, but most private jet airlines include personalized service to help travellers plan the proposal or vow renewal that will take place during the flight to their destination, including arranging the flight out of most cities across Canada and assistance with booking ground transportation and catering.

If more support is needed, the company offers the service of a private concierge to help with booking villas, hotels, and excursions. The jet can also be personalized with monograms of the couple’s initials or other messages of love to customize the experience.

SwiftJet is a Canadian on-demand private jet charter company that flies anywhere and anytime to destinations around the world. More information can be found at www.swiftjet.com.
