Economy doesn't keep wealthy travelers home, does make them think twice.
I've read economists' observations that the soft economy is largely impacting discretionary spending, especially for families. An AP article this week says the wealthy are still traveling this summer, and still willing to pay more for luxury accommodations.
That's certainly been our experience at Air Ambulance Card. Those who need to travel, for business or personal reasons, and those who have the means to travel despite a down market are booking trips... and buying air evacuation memberships. Smart move, those memberships are more valuable than ever. With jet fuel prices up 68% in the past six months, a medical jet ride home from Europe would cost thousands more, and that's money that must be paid before the patient boards the plane. Air Ambulance Card's member prices haven't changed in five years. When the price of a piece of fruit is through the roof, it's nice to know peace of mind is as affordable as ever.
