Booking Travel: First full-service online travel agency that enables people to book both...

...charter jets and limousine service.  The best priced option for each located at the top of their respective "results" page for travel purchases with a "For More Quotes" button underneath it.  And when the buyer purchases a group of airline tickets, the agency's website must alert the buyer when chartering a jet would be cheaper.  [Currently, most people don't even think of chartering a jet or hiring a limousine when arranging their travel plans.  This challenge is meant to correct that.  And chartering a jet can actually save you money if you're flying a large group (family, friends, workers, etc.) to a location since you pay a single price for the charter jet regardless of how many you fly on it (up to its passenger limit) whereas you pay per each individual when flying on an airline.  As for limousine service, if the purpose of your vacation in a foreign location is to reduce your stress and frustration or if that's what you seek on your business trip, letting a knowledgeable experienced professional local person drive you around in comfort is definitely the way to go.]

When the person clicks the "Get More Quotes" button for charter jets, the online travel agency must list jets by cost, speed, seating/sleeping capacity, make, and model with photographs of the exteriors and interiors available for viewing.  Customers can have their departures and arrivals possible at both regional and commercial airports.  Flight attendants can be hired and selected by gender, age, and race. For those who meet the selected criteria, their photographs (face and full-length in uniforms) are shown, as are short biographies of them (including height, weight, languages they are fluent in, dictation speed, nursing license, massage therapist license, etc.), and finally how much they would charge for serving the flight.  In-flight meals can be either sold separately or included in the total package.  Meals can be selected from a pull-down menu at the travel agency's website.  The meal ordering system must also have food allergy check-off boxes so cooks can ensure food safety.
 
When the person clicks the "Get More Quotes" button for limousine service, the online travel agency must list limousines by cost, seating capacity, type (sedan, stretch, super-stretch, motorhome, and exotic), make, model, and armor classification, with photographs of the exteriors and interiors available for viewing.  Available local chauffeurs can be selected by gender, age, and race. For those who meet the selected criteria, their photographs (face and full-length in uniform) are shown, as are short biographies about them (including height, weight, languages they are fluent in, evasive driving school certificate, etc., and whether they can be hired to carry a gun and wear a bullet-proof vest).

Future Challenges:

1) First online travel agency to offer ride-along bodyguards-for-hire for the limousine service, with the bodyguards riding up front with the driver.  Available local bodyguards can be selected by gender, age, and race.  For those who meet the selected criteria, their photographs (face and full-length in uniform) are shown, as well as a short biography about them (including height, weight, languages they are fluent in, bodyguard training, years as a police officer, etc.), and information is given about how much they charge per day and whether they can be hired to carry a gun and to wear a bullet-proof vest.

2) First online travel agency to institute a “no tipping” policy for the above services.  The agency hires “mystery shoppers” to make sure that no tipping is solicited or accepted by pilots, flight attendants, chauffeurs, and bodyguards.

3) First international airline to offer its own private charter jet service AND get its prices/services listed at an online travel agency as outlined in the original challenge above.

4) First international car rental company (Avis, Hertz, etc.) to offer its own chauffeured limousine service at all of its rental car locations AND get its prices/services listed at an online travel agency as outlined in the original challenge above.
