INQUIRE
The Itinerary—$250
Perfect for travelers who want their entire vacation planned from start to finish. We'll design a completely personalized itinerary and coordinate your hotels, tours, and transfers; offering suggestions for restaurants and activities along the way. Free days and wandering are yours to fill in.
Hotel or Cruise Lookbook - $100
Already know where and when you’re headed but not sure where to stay or what cruise to book? We’ll research and curate a couple of hotel or cruise options presented in a tailored lookbook. Each includes a clear overview of the hotel or cruise along with pricing for your dates, and the perks you’ll receive.
Hotel or Cruise Bookings—Complimentary
Perfect for travelers who know exactly where and when they're headed and want to take advantage of preferred partner amenities. I'll book it on your behalf, making sure you receive every complimentary amenity, upgrade, or perk available through our partner network.
Why should I hire a travel advisor if I can book it online myself?
Sometimes it's worth handing it off to someone so you can spend your time on what matters most. Booking your own trip is no different. We handle the research, the logistics, and the fine print so you get your time back.
We also stay on top of everything travel-related — new visa requirements, whether your hotel is quietly under construction (even if the photos don't show it), or whether that convertible in Hawaii is actually a good idea. We've got you covered.
FAQs
Can you work within my budget?
Can you work within my budget?
Absolutely. I plan trips at a wide range of price points and I’ll tell you upfront what’s realistic for your destination and dates.
Why do you only provide bundled package rates?
Why do you only provide bundled package rates?
Our tailor-made itineraries are built from countless different components that are integrated to create a seamless trip. Our in-destination partners have privately negotiated rates with the world’s best travel suppliers & tour operators which we are able to extend to our clients. We’ll discuss your desired financial investment during our consultation call to ensure we design the perfect itinerary in your budget.
How do you get paid?
How do you get paid?
We receive a commission from suppliers which is a percentage of the booking. This occurs typically 60-90 days after your trip is completed as a thank you for referring clients. This doesn’t cost you anything extra! That’s right, the hotel cost is the same through TBA or whether you book directly. If the trip is not booked through a travel advisor, the hotel or supplier keeps the commission themselves.
I only need to book a hotel stay. Why would I do that with you?
I only need to book a hotel stay. Why would I do that with you?
Even for a hotel-only stay, there’s a lot of value in booking through us. If you’re staying at a preferred hotel, we always connect with the hotel ahead of your arrival to make sure your reservation is prioritized and any preferences or special requests are noted. We’re also able to add thoughtful perks (when available) at no additional cost.
Do you book Airbnb or VRBO?
Do you book Airbnb or VRBO?
No, we don’t book Airbnb or VRBO as they can vary widely in quality and consistency. It’s important to us that every accommodation we recommend is reliable and well-managed.
Can I use my points when booking with you?
Can I use my points when booking with you?
Unfortunately, we are not able to apply your points towards the booking. However, any loyalty programs will be applied to the booking so you will receive points and status credit.
Why do you charge a planning fee?
Why do you charge a planning fee?
The planning fee covers the time I spend researching, designing, and managing every detail of your trip. We all know how it goes; 15 tabs open, scrolling through Google reviews and trying to piece together logistics at 11pm. Let me handle that so you can get your time back.
Absolutely. I plan trips at a wide range of price points and I’ll tell you upfront what’s realistic for your destination and dates.
How is Travel by Andi different than booking platforms like Amex or Chase Travel?
How is Travel by Andi different than booking platforms like Amex or Chase Travel?
Amex and Chase are great for straightforward transactional bookings but they are not designed for personalized, experience driven travel. And let’s be honest, they won’t be the ones calling the hotel or tour operator if something goes wrong. When you use TBA, we provide support from start to finish.
