> 
> 
> Here’s an unusual pricing plan for air travel — instead of paying for each trip, hand over a $1,500 monthly fee and fly as much as you want.
> 
> That’s what startup OneGo <http://www.onego.com/> is promising. Founder Paulius Grigas told me the idea came from his own needs as a business traveler. The service is aimed at small and medium businesses, particularly the ones where team members have to do a lot of travel (probably for sales and support).
> 
> Grigas said OneGo consolidates all your travel costs into a single expense, and it also makes the cost “predictable and controllable.” Plus, with the OneGo app, you should be able to do all your booking from your smartphone.
> 
> So what do you actually get for that $1,500? Unlimited direct flights (economy class) on major airlines like America, Delta, United and Virgin America, plus perks like Gogo WiFi membership and enrollment in TSA Pre for faster security screenings.
> 
> There are some constraints — the flights have to be booked seven days in advance, and you can’t have more than four open reservations at a time. You can also pay extra for things like last-minute booking, unlimited flight changes and more open reservations.
> 
> OneGo will only be available for West Coast flights at first. I was a bit surprised, since Grigas recently moved to Washington, D.C. but he said that after some research, his team decide the West Coast made sense as a starting point. And he intends to expand to the entire US within “a month or two.”
> From the airlines’ perspective, Grigas said OneGo is just another travel agency buying tickets. So yes, if someone does a crazy amount of travel in one month, they’ll still pay only $1,500, which could be a big loss for the startup. But he said OneGo will make money when the costs are averaged out across all travelers.
> 
> OneGo is currently doing pre-sales, with plans to go live this fall.
> 
> Update: A reader pointed out <https://twitter.com/superacidjax/status/612003504056569856> that Rise <https://iflyrise.com/> offers something similar for Texas flights.
