Jetwonder.com - Latest startup - One amazing trip every month (opens in new tab)

A cool idea, but I think the business model is flawed. I would think about dropping the subscription. How many people can be free the same weekend several months in a row for more than a few months? Probably not very many who can also commit to £175 each month. Births, marriages, funerals and other social events will inevitably get in the way of even the most dedicated users.

Also, what I expected to see was an amazing trip that I could book, each month. So in a way a sort of groupon style deal. I think if you combined that with some sort of buddy up/social network aspect where you could meet and talk to the people going on the trip you'd be on to a winner.

Perhaps you could then have a cheaper membership that gave you a discount and entitled you to first dibs on available places etc.

Just my thoughts though from scanning the site quickly. So take all advice with caution! Good luck with it!

Would be interesting to have travel buddies too. As in not someone you know but people who are headed to the same destination as you. Meet new people while exploring places. Although it should not turn into a weird hooking up situation.

It would be great to see an example of a weekend location, itinerary & recommendations. Also, would be useful to have a "couples" price. And a different cadence (once every 2 months, once a quarter)

Remember what they said about AirBnb in the early days? This is going to be pretty huge, mark my words.

I like it, but i'd like to be able to link my account with friends so we can go to the same place, as a group.

Agree, could imagine this being big in CA too

Seems like an interesting idea
