Travel advisors earn commission from hotels and resorts when we book on your behalf. This means you pay the same rate you'd find booking direct (often better), but you also get exclusive VIP perks like room upgrades, resort credits, and complimentary breakfast. There's no cost to you - it's just a smarter way to book. After years working in hotels, I can tell you: properties prioritize guests booked through advisors, which means better service and attention throughout your stay.

It depends on what you're planning. For hotel bookings, I can usually help with a few weeks' notice, though earlier is always better for popular properties and peak season. For custom itineraries, I recommend reaching out at least 6-8 months before your trip - this gives me time to design something thoughtful and secure the best accommodations and experiences. For destination weddings, group travel, or complex custom services, a year or more in advance is ideal. Bottom line: the earlier you reach out, the more options we'll have to work with.

I book premium economy, business, and first-class flights with a $50 ticketing fee. If flights are part of a package deal, I can also book economy options as needed. Prefer to book your own flights? No problem - just send me the details so I can coordinate ground transportation and timing and add them to your itinerary for real-time flight updates while you travel.

Sometimes! Reach out and I'll see if I can do a "takeover booking". This means I get added as the agent of record and you still receive the VIP perks and benefits. No changes to your reservation, no additional cost.

I don't book Airbnbs, but I do work with a wide range of trusted villa and vacation rental companies that offer the same privacy and space, many of which come with added benefits like concierge services, property management support, and quality assurance. You get the experience you're looking for without the guesswork.

Absolutely! You'll still earn points and elite status when you book through me, plus you'll receive the exclusive VIP amenities through my partnerships. I'll send you a simple intake form during the booking process where you can provide your loyalty program details, and I'll make sure those details are linked to your reservations.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to work with bookings made using credit card points. However, I highly encourage using points for flights and saving your cash budget for accommodations. That way you still get the VIP perks and benefits that come from booking through me.

No, I don't offer payment plans. Planning fees for custom itineraries are due upfront before the work begins. For hotels and travel costs, payment timing depends on the specific property or supplier - some require deposits, others allow payment closer to travel. I'll communicate all payment details clearly during the booking process.
