www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday October 4, 2008 - 15 Jetways -- your link to low-cast, hassle-free flying For many years now, travelers from Toronto and surrounding regions have been `driving the distance' to Buffalo to fly for less. With today's ever-increasing fares, taxes and fuel costs, the inconvenience of getting there has been worth it. In fact, 40 per cent of Canadian flyers will use Buffalo as their airport of departure for the savings. Though our near and dear neighbour is close in proximity, travelling to and fro can be quite a headache for most, including their family and friends. Until Jetways. A veteran in the travel industry, Beverly Scott, Jetways president, says, "While in the business I paid attention to the increased demand for air travel originating from Buffalo Niagara International Airport. This travel pattern became undeniable, then one day my dad said, `Beverly, do it'." Together, daughter and her `mentor' did their homework, resulting in the concept and development of Jetways. In its second year, Jetways stands alone as the only scheduled shuttle service available in their region of service to get you to and from the airport cost efficient, safe and on time. Originating from Brantford, Scott first approached The Holiday Inn and Conference Centre in Burlington to be Jetways' original shuttle location. Proving a win-win situation, it was not long before Jetways had on board Hamilton's Sheraton Hotel, and this spring, in Scott's hometown, The Best Western Brant Park Inn. "This is a one-of-a-kind service, says Scott, "and I am passionate about how much money people will save." With Florida, Vegas, and New York being keen destinations, Jetways is currently running four shuttles a day and buying more vehicles. Offering a first-rate online reservation system, boarding passes can be instantly generated. It is popular with seniors. "We represent a large clientele flying to their cruise destinations such as Seattle, Miami and San Juan, says Scott. "We offer them a discount and make it easy, safe and comfortable." With business having doubled in its first year, Jetways' affordability and convenience speaks volumes. The benefits are endless. No more relying on others -- and gone are expensive buses, taxis and limos. Not to mention the advantage of lower tax rates and tax categories traditionally charged by Canadian airports. Your flights are monitored; you are relaxed and collected in a class hotel -- in style and in hand. It just makes sense. Jetways -- your link to low-cost, hassle free flying.
