Local February 2015 final.qxp_002houston 1/26/15 1:57 PM Page 11 TEXAS AIR SHUTTLE announced it is opening its wait list to prospective members and will be launching its ambitious alternative to traditional air and car travel as early as this month, pending Federal Aviation Administration/Department of Transportation approval. The all-youcan-fly air travel membership boasts headquarters at Conroe’s Lone Star Executive Airport as well as Meacham Airport in Fort Worth. “The Houston to Dallas/Fort Worth flight is the number one most traveled air route in the country,” said Steve Geldmacher, CEO of Texas Air Shuttle. “Businessmen and women are frustrated with traditional commercial travel, which includes invasive airport screenings, nickel-anddime fees, overbooked flights, cancellations – you name it. All of these things cost individuals thousands of dollars every year in lost productivity and time. Our method completely eliminates the stresses related to commercial flying. Members can fly as often as they want for one monthly fee and are treated like VIPs in the process.” Memberships range in price from $899 – $4,900 per month depending on the type of membership selected. www.txairshuttle.com We really like how NEW LIVING’S hope for clean air and a healthy economy this year led them to place their own little bet: If VOC emissions for the Houston region this year are 85% of what they were in the previous year*, they will give customers a full refund on any organic mattress purchased by February 15 and a free in-home air filter that removes VOCs and other harmful chemicals. www.newliving.net *VOC Levels as reported by TCEQ. We love RODEO and this year’s lineup doesn’t disappoint. If you haven’t scored your tickets, head on over to www.rodeohoust
