What Does It Cost to Use a Travel Advisor?

Travel advisor planning services with personalized trip support for clients in New York and nationwide.

One of the questions I hear all the time is, “How much does it cost to work with you?”

For my clients, the answer is pretty simple: my travel planning and booking services are complimentary.

Yep. You can have a real person help research your vacation, compare options, book your trip, answer your questions, and be there when something inevitably gets confusing… without paying an additional planning or booking fee.

So how does a travel advisor get paid?

When you book an eligible vacation package through me, the travel supplier pays me a commission after you travel. That commission is built into the price of the vacation whether you choose to use a travel advisor or book directly.

In other words, booking with me doesn’t mean I’m adding a fee on top of the supplier’s price.

And my job goes far beyond clicking the “book” button.

What do you actually get when you work with me?

I help my clients narrow down what can feel like an overwhelming number of options and find the vacation that actually fits their family, budget, travel style, and priorities.

Depending on your trip, that may include researching and comparing resorts, cruise ships and itineraries, Disney vacation options, room categories, promotions, transfers, and more.

Once you’re booked, I’m still here.

I help with the questions that pop up along the way, important deadlines, travel details, and preparing for your trip. And if something goes sideways before or during your vacation, you have an actual person to reach out to instead of figuring everything out alone.

I also keep an eye on your price

One of my favorite parts of what I do is finding my clients the best value I can.

If an applicable promotion becomes available after you’ve booked, I can often check whether it can be applied to your existing reservation. When possible, I’ll work to get you the better rate without you having to constantly watch for new offers yourself.

Sometimes the best value isn’t simply the cheapest option, either. A slightly different resort, room category, travel date, or cruise itinerary can make a huge difference in the overall experience.

That’s where having someone who does this every day comes in handy.

What kinds of vacations can I help with?

I specialize in Disney destinations, cruises, family-friendly all-inclusive resorts, Universal vacations, honeymoons and destination weddings, along with plenty of other vacation experiences.

I’ve helped more than 100 families plan their travels, and every trip starts the same way: figuring out what you actually want from your vacation.

No cookie-cutter itineraries. No sending everyone to the same resort because it’s trending on TikTok. 😂

Is there really no planning fee?

For my standard vacation planning and booking services, there is no additional planning or booking fee to work with me.

Like any professional service, I do have Terms & Conditions that outline things such as cancellations and other policies. You’ll have the opportunity to review those when submitting your quote request, so everything is transparent from the beginning.

Ready to start planning?

Whether you’re dreaming about Disney, trying to choose between 47 all-inclusive resorts that somehow all look identical online 😂, planning your first cruise, or just thinking, I don’t have time to research all of this, that’s where I come in.

You enjoy the countdown. I’ll help handle the details.
