Flights of Fancy


For Dave Dolber, travel is not a luxury – It is a business proposition. As a corporate pilot, he is on call to fly anywhere in the Southeast or to the Caribbean on just a few hours notice.


“T


he majority of our flying is from Northern Virginia and into the Caribbean,” Dolber said. “We go to the Bahamas


a lot; the Turks and Caicos; Cayman Islands.” He is a veteran traveler, but when his wife mentioned casually that there was a Vacation Station in town, he said “OK. What’s that?” It wasn’t long before he found out not only “what” Vacation Station is but how much he could save by becoming a member. He learned firsthand that the savings can be considerable. “How we’ve used Vacation Station is primarily through my business. I’m a corporate pilot, and I’m away from home a fair amount,” Dolber said. “Tat means hotels, rental cars and things like that, and Vacation Station gives you a rebate off the basic rack rate.” Dolber went on to say that Vaca-


tion Station is ideal for those who do a fair amount of traveling. Te Dolbers thought that a membership would work well for them, although they didn’t guess how much it ultimately would save them. “We bought a membership in June


2009,” he said. “By February 2010, I had received my purchase price back from the receipts I had submitted up to that time.” Since then, the Dolbers have contin- ued to travel and submit receipts. “I’m considerably ahead now,” Dolber said. “Truthfully, it is about a 90-percent


return on my investment. I wish my stock market portfolio did that.” Even though the seminar the Dolbers attended was impressive, they were skep- tical about a plan that sounded too good to be true. “One thing I was concerned with was their reputation because I had never heard of them. I did a check and found they were fine,” he said. Joining Vacation Station has allowed


the Dolbers to visit new places in addi- tion to his many business-related trips. “My wife and I always wanted to take


a cruise, but we didn’t have the oppor- tunity until this year,” Dolber said. “We left from Florida and went to Belize,


Mexico and the Cayman Islands.” “Te stateroom had a really nice bal-


cony,” he continued. “Te rack rate was $3,400. When we got back, I submitted the receipt to Vacation Station and they sent me a check for $1,000.” About Vacation Station’s customer


service, Dolber said, “Tey are great.” Would he recommend Vacation Sta-


tion? Absolutely, he said. “If you do a fair amount of traveling, it works out pretty well,” he concluded.
