Wheels Up, along with luxury travel subscription company Inspirato, has announced new benefits as part of a continued partnership. The expanded collaboration now extends privileges to all customers of both companies, regardless of membership or subscription tier, enabling travellers to experience more extraordinary vacations.

Effective immediately, all Wheels Up Core, Connect and Business members have access to a complimentary trial Inspirato Club subscription for up to 12 months, additional Inspirato Pass subscription offers and access to Inspirato Hot Nights. Connect members are the newest tier to experience these shared benefits. Wheels Up Core and Business members also have access to complimentary Inspirato Guest Passes. In turn, all Inspirato subscribers will receive a complimentary six-month Wheels Up Connect or Core membership with no initiation fees. These new benefits will be available during the first year after signing up.

“Together with Inspirato, one of our longest standing partners, we are thrilled to offer expanded access to an exclusive collection of vacation homes and other vacation options to our full membership, all in destinations accessible by a Wheels Up flight,” says Mark Krolick, senior VP at Wheels Up. “We are also thrilled to introduce Inspirato subscribers to Wheels Up as their total aviation solution to help them get to and from their favourite destinations.”

Inspirato president David Kallery adds: “Our expanded partnership with Wheels Up creates a powerful combination for discerning travellers who want to prioritise safe, private luxury vacations this summer and beyond. In addition, our commitment to five-star service is a perfect match for Wheels Up members, and we look forward to welcoming them at our luxury vacation homes, five-star hotels and resorts, and unique experiences in the most desirable locations around the world.”

Wheels Up is also resuming its summer shuttle service with round trip flights from Westchester County airport in New York state to Nantucket Memorial airport in Massachusetts, beginning Friday 21 May 2021 through to Labor Day weekend.

Wheels Up members will be able to book directly via the Wheels Up app and pay by the seat, rather than booking an entire aircraft, for flights on the King Air 350i. For the health and safety of all members and the crew, all flights will abide by Wheels Up Safe Passage health and safety protocols and, in accordance with federal guidelines, all passengers will be required to wear a face covering while inside FBOs and during flight.

“We are thrilled to be kicking off the summer season with our sought-after Westchester to Nantucket shuttle and offering our members an efficient way to get to their favourite New England island destination,” comments chief experience officer Gail Grimmett. “This is one of our most popular routes throughout the warmer months, and we are happy that our members are able to enjoy the benefits of our pay-by-the seat shuttle services, while delivering the exceptional Wheels Up service that they receive whenever they fly with us.”

The shuttle will operate one-way flights each Friday at 17:00 from HPN to ACK. Return flights will depart ACK for HPN each Sunday at 17:00. Holiday weekends will operate on a special schedule departing Thursdays and returning Mondays.
