To mark Canada’s hosting of the 2010 Winter Olympics, Bombardier’s Flexjet subsidiary is offering a special edition of its Flexjet 25 jet card. The Olympic Gold Edition card will include the opportunity for customers to experience some of the most sought-after events of the Vancouver games. “Those who buy [the special edition Flexjet card] will be offered a package of the last three days of the Olympics, hotel accommodations, good restaurants, top-notch tickets to three skating events, the gold medal hockey final and the closing ceremonies,” said Flexjet president Fred Reid, who will be hosting the limited-availability tour.

In addition, each tour package for two people will include Olympics-sanctioned ground transportation, behind-the-scenes sponsor-level VIP access and the chance to meet a world-class athlete. The special-edition card carries a $15,000 premium over the standard Flexjet 25 card, but according to Reid, the company is absorbing much of the actual package cost.
