Palm Springs, Calif.-based Desert Jet is promoting charter quotes via  its Facebook page, and the company claims that this is the first air  charter quoting program accessible from a social media platform. “This  quoting tool provides quick and easy access via Facebook to instant  charter quotes for Desert Jet’s entire charter fleet, as well as the  ability to request a reservation with a click of the mouse,” the company  said. The online quoting tool also integrates with Google Maps,  allowing charter clients visually to select the best departure and  arrival airports. After the routing is entered into the quoting tool, a  full graphical map display of the proposed trip routing is shown, along  with details of the trip and estimated costs. “Time is important to our  clients,” said Desert Jet president Denise Wilson. “They want to be able  to plan their trips and make a reservation on their schedule and want  the option to use online technology when feasible.”
