College football fans who want to save money by sharing a private jet to the big game can now self-aggregate via Game Day Private Jets.
Longtime Wheels Up senior vice president and private aviation executive Luis Garcia has launched Game Day Private Jets.
The membership program enables college football fans to self-aggregate for shared charter flights to their favorite team’s big games.
Garcia says, “For years, the pilgrimage to college football games has been fraught with challenges,” adding, “We’ve all experienced the pain points: the lack of direct commercial flights to remote college towns, exorbitant hotel costs that demand a three-day commitment, and the logistical issues of a demanding work schedule.”
Garcia noted, “For families, it’s often difficult or impossible to pull kids out of school on Friday, which can result in missing an entire season of in-person games.”
He calls his new program “a more cost-effective and truly experiential way to catch more games.”
