DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 28, 2005--

The Revolutionary Company, Which is Shaking up Business
Jet Travel with "By the Seat" Pricing, Donates Round-Trip
Flight That Gives Non-Profit's Event a Lift

Perfect Jet Travel Inc., the premiere provider of purchase "by the seat" luxury business jet travel, recently worked with the Young Musicians Foundation of Beverly Hills, Calif., whose board chairman is Merv Griffin, to create a fundraising event that raised a record amount for the famous non-profit organization.

The event's grand prize is a week for two at the St. Regis Resort in Aspen, Colo., with the round-trip flight supplied by Perfect Jet - the company revolutionizing business jet travel by combining convenience, luxury and lower prices.

"Thanks in large part to Perfect Jet we did very, very well with the event and everybody, including Merv, was very pleased," said Suzanne Marx, Development Director at the foundation. "When people found out that Perfect Jet was involved it created a real buzz among our supporters - and with our board of directors as well."

The foundation, which provides encouragement, financial support and instruments to inner-city musicians, has on its board of directors numerous entertainers and composers, including Pat Boone, Wes Craven, Pam Dawber, Lainie Kazan, Carl Reiner, John Williams and Anne Sterling Jeffries. Merv Griffin is Chairman of the board.

"That's why Perfect Jet was such a perfect fit," said Marx. "The luxury travel services it offers really resonate with our supporters. It was a win-win, and we were thrilled to have them. We'd love to have them back next year."

Marx said it was too early to say exactly how much was raised at the event, but added that it was a record for the 50-year-old organization. The drawing for the Perfect Jet trip, which was held at a gala that drew 600 guests to the Beverly Hilton Hotel, drew many celebrities, including Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr., Buzz and Lois Aldrin, Mitzi Gaynor, Anne Sterling Jeffries and Mary Ann Mobley and Gary Collins.

"We're very pleased that our participation in the Young Musicians Foundation event helped so much," said Dennis Keith, President of Perfect Jet and a 40-year veteran of business aviation. "We're open to helping other non-profits around the country as well. We've found that the service we offer really does fit well with the kind of audience many foundations want to reach."

By flying Perfect Jet, travelers significantly reduce the time, expense and hassle of traveling to difficult-to-reach destinations while enjoying luxurious large-cabin business jets such as the Gulfstream III and IV, the Embraer Legacy and the Challenger 604.

Perfect Jet, which recently announced an extensive flight schedule to Aspen, Colo., and Palm Beach, Fla., from six U.S. cities, meets the growing demand from sophisticated travelers who want the benefits of business jet travel without the cost of chartering an aircraft or investing in fractional jet ownership. Perfect Jet travelers can save up to 80% over the cost of chartering a similar aircraft on a similar route. For example, the cost for one person to fly round-trip from Dallas to Aspen for a weeklong ski vacation on Perfect Jet is only $3,900, versus the $30,000 or more it would cost to charter the same type of aircraft.

In addition, individuals who usually fly first-class to resort destinations can now afford to fly on large business jets and eliminate the security hassles, connection delays and time-consuming flight patterns associated with commercial airline travel.

Perfect Jet utilizes a world-class fleet of business jets and
also:

-- Operates from private terminals at convenient local airports,
to avoid the delay and aggravation associated with major
airports.

-- Requires passengers to arrive only 15 minutes prior to
departure.

-- Meets passengers, upon arrival, to verify identification,
assist with baggage, ground transportation and parking.

-- Offers in-flight beverages and appetizers served by cabin
attendants.

-- Is known for its pet-friendly attitude.
