Shuttle America
Trenton-Mercer Airport’s Shuttle America just got a
little more convenient — following the “bid for a fare”
model set by Priceline.com, the airline is now offering “Name
Your Price” feature on its new website, https://www.shuttleamerica.com.
Now business travelers can dip below the standard fare, which is already
as low as $59 to Boston. The Name Your Price feature is ideal for
business travelers who have a degree of flexibility in their schedule,
says Mark Cestari, Shuttle America’s spokesperson. “The
low range is typically a $21 for a 14-day advance purchase fare,”
he says. “Say you’re four days out from travel, and the walk-up
price is $149, you might bid $89.”
Shuttle America is receiving roughly 100 bids a day from travelers
and accepting roughly 45 percent of those offers. The airline, which
opened in 1999, just added a flight to Greensboro, North Carolina,
but the Boston to Trenton commute remains the most popular.
