Brancatelli Report: 5 reviews on OpenSkies Experience - Oct. 24 Print E-mail

Last week, when OpenSkies, BA's boutique airline, launched flights from New York to Amsterdam. a batch of JoeSentMe contributors were onboard. They sat in business class. I was in prem+, the airline's premium economy section. Meanwhile, Karen Fawcett flew from New York to Paris on OpenSkies' other route. Then they returned on separate days in prem+ while I tested OpenSkies' business class on a return flight. We each wrote our own reviews, which all appear today.

  “ None of us talked to each other during the flights or afterwards to avoid a "group think" mentality, “Joe said. “ We wrote and judged separately, without consulting the others.” Clever approach. Certainly appealed to me. So, here’s the link http://joe.biztravelife.com/joe.html

Ipsos Mendelsohn and American Express Publishing-Harrison Group
Offer Fresh Insight on Consumer Behavior in 2010


According to new studies from two blue-chip research sources, Ipsos Mendelsohn and American Express Publishing - the affluent are not only ready to travel -- they are frequently going to spend more on it. While the Ipsos study focused on intent and American Express Publishing on mindset, they both point to a surge in affluents taking to the road (Amex sees an increase of 6 to 8% in spending on all luxury categories). Interestingly, both studies agree on a positive attitude despite lingering concerns about the economy. Here's a look at the highlights of both 2010 studies.

LuxuryTravel 360 has long looked to the affluent as a burgeoning market in business and leisure travel, fueling growth in more affordable, common sense luxury - less glitz and glamour, but ready to pay extra for memorable family experiences and genuine local culture.
