Blink Foresight is Blink’s revolutionary advance purchase

programme. It delivers all the benets of personal air

travel – as well as Blink’s renowned superior service –

but for prices at least 40-50% cheaper than competing

Jetcard programmes when you book a one-way ticket

and 60-70% cheaper when you book a day return.

The Blink Foresight programme provides 15,000 miles of

ying – on Blink’s Cessna Citation Mustang eet – across

our pan-European network of Blink Hubs and over 600

other airports. This is the equivalent of approximately

25 hours of one-way ights. If used exclusively for same-day round trips, it is the equivalent of approximately

50 hours of ight time.

Why waste money and

unnecessarily increase your

carbon footprint?

An average European business

jet flight carries two passengersfor one and a half hours – so

flying on a six to eight seat

aircraft that is designed for a

four hour trip burns money and

fuel needlessly.

Blink – ideally suited for

efficient European travel.



Blink Hubs

All Blink Foresight distances are calculated by

applying the relevant mileage to all sectors of the

aircraft’s movements to and from a designated

Hub (subject to a minimum 300-mile occupied

segment and 600 total ight miles per day).

Currently, Blink maintains permanent Hubs atLondon Farnborough, Geneva, and The Channel

Islands. Blink also operates seasonal bases across

Europe and, in the future, may establish other

permanent Hubs.

Since all fares are based on absolute distance

travelled rather than variable ight time, you

know exactly what each ight costs, every time.

One-Way Flights

For any one-way ight, there will be a 5%

discount to the above mileage charge, subject to

a minimum daily utilisation of 570 miles.

Overnights

We realise that you are not always able to do

everything you need to do in a single day. We

created the “Simple Overnight” to provide better

value and enable you to spend one night without

having to pay for two one-way trips. If your trip

involves a one-night stay, rather than charging

two one-ways, we will only charge 1.425 x thetrip miles. A stay of more than one night will be

classied as two one-way fares.

Ancillary Costs

Ancillary Costs such as landing and handling

fees will be charged at cost and crew expense,

if applicable, will be charged at a standard rate.

Ancillary Costs can also include supplementarycatering. At some airports, landing fees can

vary between weekends and weekdays. Prior

to conrmation of booking, Blink will issue

documentation that lists all charges related to a

specic ight. Blink will also provide an account

summary monthly and on request.

Blink Foresight – setting new standards

Access more of Europe

With industry best landing performance,

Blink jets safely utilise over 600 airports

throughout Western Europe, many of which

are inaccessible to larger aircraft – such as

St Tropez La Môle, Annemasse and

Samedan. This allows you to y closer to

and from your actual destination rather

than an inconvenient commercial hub.

Enjoy a breakthrough combination of

speed, safety and quiet-cabin comfort

Blink Foresight puts the world’s largest

eet of Cessna Citation Mustangs at

your disposal.

With state of the art collision avoidance

software, a cutting edge ground proximity

warning system and the latest safe runway

technology, Blink jets benet from avionics

more advanced than those in most modern

commercial aircraft.

On board, the club-four seating layout

combines with pull-out workstations and

12-volt power to create a practical working

environment. Low noise levels, large

windows, deep cushioned leather and a

help-yourself refreshment centre ensure a

superior level of comfort for up to four

passengers.

An exemplary level of personal service

Blink’s goal is to provide a cost effective

travel solution that helps to optimise your

valuable time – but not at the expense of a

satisfying and enjoyable experience.

Our astute and dedicated Flight Services

team is here to make the process of ‘hiring

a Blink air taxi’ simple and hassle free. They

will work with you to understand your

requirements and provide you with the best

value for money solution.

Once you arrive at the airport, you will nd

yourself in the capable hands of our highly

trained Captains and First Ofcers.

Considerate, courteous and condence

inspiring, our Captains have all had

distinguished careers in commercial

aviation. All our pilots take immense pride

in making every journey as easy and

efcient as possible.

Our best prices – guaranteed

Blink uses a pricing system that rewards

advance booking with lower fares. Our

21-day advance purchase price is cheaper

than the same-day fare. Blink Foresight

always ensures you receive our lowest fares

irrespective of when you book.

Stop subsidising other travellers

Competing Jetcard programmes offer an

all-inclusive cost per hour. While a single

price may seem simple, it ensures you pay

for more than your true costs. Assumptions

are made about usage across a eet, such

as the level of empty repositioning and the

average landing fees. This price does not

reect your actual usage – part of your cost

will be covering the operator’s assumptions,

effectively subsidising other travellers.

Transparent pricing

Blink Foresight offers a simple cost per mile

rather than an ambiguous hourly rate. Our

pricing is auditable: the price per mile

enables you to calculate the exact ight

cost for your trip. How long a ight takes is

dependent upon many external factors, so

a per-hour rate may be open to some

interpretation. The distance between two

places remains xed, so our prices are

consistent and accurate.

Unbundled pricing provides choice

Choose the options you want rather than

having them forced upon you. We nd

most clients appreciate the ability to make

informed decisions regarding their travel

based upon understanding the cost

implications.

Most competing Jetcard programmes

include an assumed landing fee in the price

of each ight. However, there is a wide

disparity of landing fees across Europe –

Nice is £700 while Cannes is £350. As a

result, competing Jetcard users pay a high

average landing fee. Blink provides you with

each airport’s landing fees so that you can

benet from using less expensive airports.

Day returns: twice the value for no

additional cost

While one-way trips are cost effective, our

day return prices provide exceptional value.

Competing Jetcard programmes penalise

you for returning on the same day. Blink

Foresight rewards you for it. If you ew

exclusively day return trips, you turn your 25

hours into 50 hours at no additional cost.
