Jason Kuntzelman is the founder and CEO of PCK Travel, a Las Vegas-based and -inspired lifestyle travel brand redefining how modern travelers discover and book experiences. With more than two decades of leadership experience across hospitality, entertainment ticketing, tourism and customer experience, Kuntzelman has built a career around connecting people to memorable destinations and premium experiences.

At Tix4Tonight, later rebranded as Tix4, Kuntzelman held senior leadership roles spanning operations, business development, guest services, ticketing and tourism partnerships, giving him deep insight into how travelers engage with destinations from inspiration through booking and beyond.

PCK Travel reflects that expertise, mixing exclusive travel savings with curated destination inspiration, insider perks and a design-forward member experience. Built on the belief that travel should feel exciting from the moment planning begins, the brand invites members to “Light Up Your Destination” through a platform that fuses technology, value and elevated travel lifestyle content.

Please tell me about your new business PCK Travel.

PCK Travel is a membership-based travel platform created for travelers who want more than just another booking engine. We provide members with access to exclusive unpublished hotel rates that can offer significant savings compared with publicly available pricing, discounted travel inventory, curated destination content and premium member perks through a modern, lifestyle-driven platform.

What makes PCK Travel unique is that we combine real savings and value with inspiration. Members can access hotels, cruises, car rentals, attractions, shows and experiences all within a premium ecosystem designed to make travel planning feel exciting, aspirational and effortless.

What was the catalyst for creating PCK Travel?

The catalyst came from seeing how transactional and impersonal travel booking had become. Most platforms overwhelm travelers with endless listings and price comparisons, but very few create a sense of excitement, inspiration or curated value.

As someone who has spent years in hospitality and tourism, I wanted to create a brand that brings emotion and discovery back into travel planning. PCK Travel was born from a passion for travel and a desire to make the experience feel elevated again, starting with what I often call “a feather and a dream,” which reflects both the brand symbol and the original spark behind the idea.

What are the major benefits in signing up for PCK Travel?

Members gain access to a wide range of benefits, including:

• Exclusive unpublished hotel rates at more than 850,000 hotels and resorts worldwide, offering savings of as much as 50% compared with publicly available pricing
  
  
• Savings on cruises, airfare, rental cars, attractions, shows and activities
  
  
• Access to retail and dining discounts
  
  
• Curated editorial destination pages featuring travel inspiration and insider content
  
  
• Branded lifestyle merchandise, including apparel and travel accessories
  
  
• Premium travel perks and expanding tier-based membership benefits, including airport lounge access

For many members, the savings on a single trip can offset the cost of membership, especially on hotel bookings.

How does PCK Travel stand out vs. other travel websites?

PCK Travel stands apart because we are not simply a comparison travel shopping site. We are a travel lifestyle brand built around membership value, curated experiences and premium presentation.

Traditional travel sites compete with volume. We focus on curation, exclusivity and access. Our members unlock private inventory and negotiated rates that are often reserved for corporations or closed loyalty programs while also benefiting from a more inspiring, design-forward experience that reflects how people actually want to dream about travel.

With a background in Las Vegas hospitality, we learned many people see “deals” featured with every major site. However, they often seek a more personal approach with trusted recommendations to enhance their experience with popular places to stay, dining and activities to explore.

What do you hope to accomplish with PCK Travel in your launch, beginning and first three to six months?

In the first three to six months, our priorities are building awareness, growing our early member base and continuing to refine the member journey as we scale. We are also expanding destination content, strengthening supplier partnerships and preparing to roll out curated travel experiences with more editorial content that will become a signature part of the brand.

This launch phase is about building trust, validating growth momentum and positioning PCK Travel as a recognized emerging name in the premium travel membership space.

We also want to spotlight member travel experiences to inspire others and create a stronger sense of travel community. Another important initiative is building partnerships with organizations where travel can support fundraising and community impact.

Anything else?

Las Vegas is the ideal city to launch PCK Travel because it embodies energy, hospitality, entertainment and destination-driven excitement, all qualities deeply embedded in our brand DNA. PCK Travel is Las Vegas-inspired in both aesthetic and mindset, bold, vibrant, inclusive and experience-centered, and that identity shapes everything from our design to the way we curate travel experiences.

The PCK Travel brand is embodied with neon aqua that derives from the lights and excitement of Las Vegas casino lights. The feather in our logo was inspired by the Las Vegas entertainment scene. Lastly, PCK stands for Passion, Creativity and Knowledge, which is embedded with the company lifestyle.

As part of our launch phase, we are currently offering limited-time introductory membership promotions, giving early members an exceptional opportunity to experience the platform at special introductory value while helping us build our founding travel community.

Long term, our vision is for PCK Travel to become a nationally recognized lifestyle travel brand that inspires people not just to book trips, but to rediscover exploration while creating a deeper sense of connection and belonging.
