Flügy
, A Very, Very Direct Travel Company, and
subsidiary of Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (
JET:
TSX-V; JET.B: TSX-V; JETMF: OTCQB (the
“
Company” or “
GlobalX”) will
partner with Soho House to launch its innovative air travel service
which offers nonstop flights to hard to get to destinations. First
stop – Canouan.
A Caribbean paradise in St. Vincent and the Grenadines that’s as
hard to pronounce as it is to travel to, Canouan is next up as the
“it” destination. Thanks to this partnership between Flügy and Soho
House, a group of Miamians will skip multiple flight connections
and ferries and fly direct to the new Soho Beach House in Canouan
for a weekend trip any aspiring jet-setter would revere.
Flügy puts the power to schedule flights in the
hands of its members to provide a more predictable and exclusive
flight experience. When you fly with Flügy, you arrive quickly at
your final destination with ease. No fussin’. No cussin’. That’s
because Flügy flights don’t have layovers–just direct, nonstop
trips to incredible destinations where the commercial guys can only
dream of going.
Wait, this sounds an awful lot like chartering a large private
aircraft. That's because it is, but with a simple twist. Flügy is
based on proprietary patent-pending technology designed to bring
like-minded travelers together to bypass the need to fly where and
when the commercial airlines say you can. Flügy flips the airline
travel dynamic on its head and allows its members to suggest trips
or vote for and book curated trips as often as there is demand to
do so.
For the Weekender, Soho House members will book direct travel to
Soho Beach House Canouan–its newest destination located in St.
Vincent and the Grenadines. Typically accessible only by multiple
connections and ferry transportation, Flügy will fly Soho members
direct to Canouan on a GlobalX Airbus A320 aircraft equipped with
the latest technology and WiFi.
The Soho House and Flügy Weekender this coming January 14-17,
2022 will host a full calendar of private events and
entertainment.
“We are ecstatic to be partnering with Soho House on our first
Flügy charter to the beautiful island of Canouan in the Grenadines
and the great new Beach House opened there by Soho House. Flügy
will be the new way to book group travel, and we are honored the
first flight will be with Soho House,” said Ed Wegel, Chair and CEO
of GlobalX
“Soho House is always looking for ways to make our membership
better. We’re excited that this partnership with Flügy will
offer our members a more direct and seamless travel experience to
visit Soho Beach House in Canouan,” said Pierre Antonine Dourneau,
Managing Director, North America
