As stated in part 1 of this DayJet review the soon to open private jet taxi company is going to offer private luxury jets to executive travelers and anyone else who can afford a ride in a private jet. I have a feeling that many wealthy students in Tallahassee and Gainesville are going to add to Day Jets’ bottom line.

A flight from Boca Raton to Gainesville, with a two-hour window for DayJet to complete the trip, would cost about $854. Such a scenario would apply to someone who needs to leave Boca by 8 a.m. and get to Gainesville by 10 a.m. Charter Flight prices can go down to about $331 with a wider time window to complete the flight.

Once the client chooses the time window and departure-destination cities, they receive a price but not the exact time of departure and arrival. This information is sent via e-mail the night before because Day Jet waits until the last moment in oder to attempt to use it’s jets (Eclipse 500) in the most efficient way possible.

The cities with little air service will benefit from DayJets’ flights bringing 16 jobs to Gainesville airport alone.

One major unknown is the use of new aircraft which are untested in a commercial use setting and mainteneace and realiability are still unknown variables. Otherwise DayJets’ private business jet charter flights should be a hit.

Want to check out Asia but not spend a fortune doing so?Cathay Pacific has re instituted the wonderful All-Asia Pass. For just $1,399, passengers can fly between 23 Asian cities as many times as they’d like over a 21 day period. That means one can fly from Bali, to Bangkok, to Ho Chi Minh, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, and still have 18 other Asian gateways to visit. The best deal? Include Karachi in your plans if you really want to maximize the distance traveled. Or, for just a few hundred dollars more, extend the pass to include a gateway city in Australia.

This is a great deal and one we suggest snapping up as quickly as possible as only a limited number will be sold.

Be sure to read the fine print, however. Restrictions do apply.

Personal AccountsThe documents needed to open an offshore banking account will usually be the same for nearly every country. The major difference will be the initial cost of setting up the account, and the minimum balance to open the account. Every bank is different, and you should shop around to find the account that fits you. Below you will find the most common documents you may need to set up the account. The bank will send you the forms needed to start the process.

  • Verification of a permanent address (example an electricity bill or other utility bill).
  • The bank account opening forms duly filled and signed.
  • Identification; a picture ID such as a (certified) copy of the passport or drivers license for all signatories to the account.
  • A bank reference (a letter confirming that you hold a personal account in any bank) for all signatories.
      Corporate
    • Certified copy of all charter documents of the company;
    • A Resolution of the board of directors which appoints the Bankers;
    • Completed application forms for the offshore account to be opened;
    • Notarized copy of a valid passport for each account signatory, shareholder and director. (The notarization must contain the contact information on the notary public)
    • Proof of a permanent address for each signatory such as; a recent utility bill, a credit card statement etc.
    • A bank reference on each signatory, director and shareholder to the account. The reference must be on a letter head of the issuing institution and the name and position of the signing officer on the reference.
    • In case the company issued bearer shares the original share certificate has to be kept with the bank.
