Making The Most Of Your Time In Regional Travel

Business time lost is opportunity lost.

We’ve all been there. A “quick trip” on a flight that’s scheduled to be just a few hours turns into an entire day lost. On paper, flying looks efficient, but in real life, regional trips end up piling up hidden time costs, from delays to security waits to the time it takes to arrive early and sit around waiting for a flight.

The U.S. DOT reported a 78.10% on-time arrival rate in 2024 for reporting marketing carriers—meaning a meaningful share of flights did not arrive “on time” and “on time” is defined as arriving within 15 minutes of schedule.

Driving yourself avoids airports, but it creates different issues, with lost productivity, increasing costs for gas and travel, and fatigue.

Ground transportation, particularly in the mobile office sphere, is becoming increasingly popular due to this reason. The advantages of letting someone else do the driving as you relax and enjoy the amenities of a mobile office to increase your productivity and better utilize your time are many.

National Limousine Association’s 2024 research highlights that even when ground transportation is a smaller slice of total spend, it’s getting more attention because it impacts traveler satisfaction and cost control. Ground transportation offers a much lower travel spend on average and greater safety.

The increase in ground transportation and mobile office services has led to rising interest in franchising these services. In a booming era of premium services in regional business travel, mobile office franchises of such services as LandJet have become more popular.

LandJet offers a unique service in business travel, as well as a distinct career and franchising opportunity. LandJet provides a deluxe mobile office, set inside a spacious road vehicle, allowing customers to enjoy a smooth and luxurious ride to their destination with premium amenities while having the accommodations and space of an office.

“LandJet is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing companies in the mobile office space,” said Ryan Landry, CEO at LandJet. “By giving customers a premium experience that allows them to be more productive and utilize their travel time more efficiently, we’re offering a clear alternative to the inconveniences posed by driving and air travel.”

As a quickly growing company offering a custom product, it also offers an excellent opportunity for interested franchisees and business partners.

“We invite potential franchisees to learn more about this fantastic opportunity to partner with LandJet and join the team,” said Landry. “We look forward to being able to share more about being a franchisee for this growing enterprise.”

Ascentra’s advocacy team contracted with LandJet for a trip to Des Moines in April.  Through LandJet’s accommodations, eight team members utilized three hours of travel time as an opportunity to research and formulate strategy.  In years past, we needed two vehicles and everyone played on phones or had separate conversations.  The free Wi-Fi, HDMI inputs, large screen televisions, and conference table allowed for a fantastic collaboration space.  The driver facilitated a wonderful experience and proved very professional.  This service is simpler and more cost effective than operating a company vehicle, maintaining it, and accounting for it as an asset.  Ascentra looks forward to using LandJet’s mobile executive offices in the future.
