- Re: Proposal for transportation for August 2-4 Buyer's Seminar
- Y
-
- Dear Ms. Winslow:
-
- Thank you for working with us to define the transportation needs
- of your Buyer's Seminar. The transportation proposal you
- requested is enclosed.
-
- In a project involving so many people there will be last-minite
- changes, so we want to increase your flexibility. Therefore, you
- many cancel limosines at no charge on two hours notice; we will
- not require the 24 hours mentioned in your letter of July 10.
- Similarly, buses may be cancelled without charge on three days
- notice, not ten days.
-
- We will of course follow your wishes regarding pickup at SEATAC,
- but we feel it is our responsibility to KLEIN FASHIONS to advise
- you against the idea of assigning one limousine to pick up two or
- three people arriving within 10-15 minutes of each other. Our
- twenty years of experience tell us this looks good on paper, but
- won't work. Why not?
- l---L---T1----+-T--2----T----3--T-+----4T---+---T5----+-T--R---j----7--T-+--r
-
- *Planes arrive early and late. There is no way to know
- sufficiently in advance which buyers will actually
- arrive within 10-15 minutes of each other.
-
- *Arrival time refers to touchdown on the runway. The
- plane taxis to a jetway (if one is available),
- passengers deplane, and baggage is unloaded and sent to
- a luggage carousel (if available). This process can take
- from ten minutes to one hour. Passengers who arrive
- within one minute of each other frequently end up ready
- to leave the airport 45 minutes apart.
-
- L---+---T1----+-T--2----T----3--T-+----4T---+---T5----+-T--6----R---7--T-+--r
- KLEIN FASHIONS' purpose in picking up the buyers by limousine is to
- create a favorable initial impression. We want to help you do
- this, but having a buyer wait an extra half hour for someone
- else's luggage will work against our efforts. Of course, where
- passengers are coming in on the same flight, we should pick them
- up as a group.
-
- Sending limousines to meet each incoming flight will eliminate the
- need for most coordinators beyond the first, complimentary, one.
- Drivers will meet buyers at the gate, conduct them to the luggage
- area, help them with their luggage, and escort them into their
- limousines. By eliminating the need for most coordinators,
- providing the buyers the greatest comfort and convenience will
- also produce savings for you.
-
- None of the above points applies to taking buyers from the hotel
- to the airport on August 4 or thereafter. When departure times
- are close, please group buyers to maximize your savings by using
- as few limos as possible.
-
- Please call me or Lucia Sabatini if you have questions about any
- point in our proposal.
-
- Our whole team at Avanti Livery Lines in looking forward to
- helping you and KLEIN FASHIONS make the Buyer's Seminar a great
- success.
-
- Sincerely yours,
-
-
-
- Nicholas Avanti
- President

- Restaurant, in Ballard. The buses will park and await the end of
- the evening's program, about 9:00 p.m. The buses will then

- dispatch the buses to Ray's. He will perform the same function at
- the restaurant for the return trip.

- Center. He will perform the same functions at the Center for the
- return trip.
