    Is your fee negotiable?

    I make sure that my fees are very fair within the industry standards. Also, in most cases I preemptively offer to prorate trips that may exceed a week or more. For example, you want 10 days of planning vs 2 weeks (14 days), which in this case I would charge $300 for the first week (up to 4 people) and half of my weekly fee ($150) for the extra 3 days for a total of $450.

     

    What is not covered by my planning fee?

    • Air ticketing, which has a separate fee (see below)

    • Cancellation fees

    • Concierge Services (restaurant & event reservations)

     

    What is the air ticketing fee?

    It is a fee that is collected via ARC, which is the system all air ticketing desks at airlines and agencies use. I pass through this fee to clients, and it will be included in the total price of your ticket under taxes and fees. This fee is listed more as a disclosure to my clients. Domestic and international fees differ - refer to the client agreement. The added bonus of working with my airline ticketing service though is that you get Agent 24 service, which is basically a VIP 24/7 line to help you with any real time issues with air as you travel, so you don’t have to wait in long cues or be left hanging if your flight gets cancelled or delayed and you need to make alternate arrangements to get to your destination.
