TrustedHousesitters
If you have got a pet, planning a trip means making arrangements for your destination and your home base. It is not only added work, but an added cost as well. Not anymore, thanks to TrustedHousesitters, a global community of free pet and housesitters. Yup, you read that right: free.
How is that possible?
Pay just a monthly subscription fee (starting at $9.92/month) to access its global database of pet lovers. Registered sitters stay at your house at no cost, in exchange for accommodations. All sitters are rated and reviewed, so you can make an informed decision about who will be caring for Fido or Fluffy. Looking for a budget getaway or staycation and don’t mind a temporary, four-legged roommate? Consider becoming a sitter yourself.
OVERNIGHT
The amount of time required for planning can be overwhelming. Part of the allure of last-minute travel plans is that you are basically making it impossible to get long with the details. But finding accommodations on short notice can be just as intimidating. Overnight – Much like Airbnb; the app provides home stays with locals, but you can only book rooms on the day with no advance planning allowed. The application sells itself on efficient delivery, hosts are required to respond within 10 minutes when you request a room.
Roam Travel Company
If you are looking to indulge in a bit of boutique travel, look no further than Roam Travel Company. The websites boasts that they are experienced in planning “discreet” travel. Not for small-time spenders, they will take care of all the nitty-gritty like; itineraries, transportation, flights, even a chartered helicopter.
JetSuite
If you are looking for a super luxe way to fly, then traveling in a private jet is the best you could get. JetSuite allows users to charter their own planes or buy a seat on a chartered plane for as little as $99 (depending on location). However, booking your own plane via JetSuite doesn’t come cheap (think upwards of $10,000), but it is a lot more affordable than actually ponying up for a plane of your own — and in some cases, its even cheaper than one first-class seat on a commercial airline.
SKIPPER
Planning a trip for a few friends can be tough, but planning for a larger group is usually a pain. Skipper (formerly Jetaport) takes some of the pain out of it by allowing you to search for bookings suitable for all types of crowds. From business to weddings to family reunions, the site not only finds group rates in your destination, but also tweaks its recommendations based on the kind of trip you’re booking for.
