Sept. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- August 17, 2010, La Quinta, CA -- Desert Jet, a privately owned aircraft charter company based in the Palm Springs area of California, today launched the air charter industry’s first quoting program accessible from a social media platform, enabling requests for flights directly from the company’s Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/desertjetprivatejetcharters.

This quoting tool provides quick and easy access via Facebook to instant charter quotes for Desert Jet’s entire charter fleet, as well as the ability to request a reservation with a click of the mouse. The online quoting tool integrates the popular Google maps API, allowing charter clients the ability to visually select the best departure and arrival airports. After the routing is entering into the quoting tool, a full graphical map display of the proposed trip routing is shown, along with details of the trip and estimated costs.

“Time is very important to our clients,” said Denise Wilson, President of Desert Jet. “They want to be able to plan their trips and make a reservation on their schedule, and want the option to use online technology when feasible.  This new feature provides yet another way for our clients to connect with us in the way they prefer, around the clock, every day of the year.”

Just last month, Yankee Group Research released a report showing that most consumers want to interact with businesses over social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter. The problem is that only 30% of businesses are prepared to do so.  Desert Jet is expanding its use of social media through sites such as Twitter, Facebook and its blog, http://www.palmspringsjetcharter.com, to keep in touch with its clients.
Desert Jet also offers a toll-free phone number that connects directly to the charter and dispatch departments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for clients that prefer to reserve their flights by phone.
