Like traditional travel agents, Jetsetter’s correspondents — who are paired with members based on compatibility of interests and personality — draft itineraries and make bookings for clients.
The service isn’t cheap; $200 will fetch you three hours of consulting and planning, a “detailed summary” of recommendations and “unlimited time” with a booking specialist, the company said in a statement. Those who book through Jetsetter will receive a $100 refund toward their trip.
The service marks a move beyond the content and commerce blend Gilt is increasingly becoming known for. With Jetsetter, Gilt is leveraging the relevant expertise of its writing staff — many of whom come from the magazine pu blishing industry — and expanding their roles in the process.
