Free chauffeur-drive for Silverjet's flexible friends

16 Aug 2007 by business traveller

Passengers travelling with all-business class airline Silverjet can now benefit from a complimentary chauffeur drive service – if they book a fully flexible fare.

The Luton-based carrier has introduced the free service for those buying the highest-priced tickets for its London-New York route. Passengers are eligible for a complimentary transfer within a radius of 60 miles of Luton airport, while at the other end they can enjoy a fare-free taxi ride up to the value of $150 from Newark airport.

Of course nothing comes for free, and in this instance the qualifying fare for the free service is significantly higher than Silverjet's lead-in fares. When Business Traveller checked the price of a return flight London-New York (outbound Monday September 10, inbound Friday September 14), the flexible fare came out at £1,999, as opposed to £1,199 for a standard ticket, some £800 cheaper.

As well as two free chauffeur drives, a flexible ticket allows for cancellations and changes at no charge, whereas a standard ticket incurs charges of £200 for cancellations, and £100 for changes.
