Bespoke Travel Planning & Professional Fees

Exceptional travel begins with the right advice.

Every memorable journey starts long before departure. It begins with understanding what matters to you, knowing where to look and having an experienced travel professional bring every detail together.

With over 28 years of experience in the travel industry, I provide personalised travel planning and management for clients who value expert advice, attention to detail and the reassurance of having someone they trust looking after their travel arrangements.

From international flights and carefully selected accommodation to transfers, touring and the finer details that make a journey special, my role is to take the complexity out of travel planning so you can look forward to your trip with confidence.

My Professional Fees

My professional fees reflect the time, expertise and level of planning required to coordinate your travel arrangements. Every journey is different, and the applicable fee depends on the complexity and scope of your itinerary.

Standard International Itinerary

$250 + GST

Ideal for more straightforward international holidays requiring professional research, flight arrangements, accommodation and coordination of your travel plans.

This service is suited to itineraries with a relatively simple structure and fewer logistical requirements.

Complex International Itinerary

$500 + GST

Designed for more involved journeys requiring a greater level of research, planning and coordination.

This may include multi-destination itineraries, multiple countries, complex flight routings, detailed touring arrangements or travel plans involving numerous interconnected components.

My focus is on bringing all the elements together into a well-considered itinerary tailored to your individual travel preferences.

Which fee applies?

The appropriate fee will depend on your proposed itinerary, the number of components involved and the level of planning required. I’ll discuss your travel plans with you during an initial phone consultation and confirm the applicable professional fee before commencing work.

Professional fees are payable upfront, are non-refundable and are separate from the cost of your travel arrangements.

What Does My Service Include?

When you engage me to plan your travels, you benefit from more than bookings and confirmations. You have an experienced travel professional overseeing the details and helping you make informed decisions throughout the planning process.

Personalised travel planning

  • An initial discussion to understand your travel goals, preferences and requirements.
  • Research and recommendations tailored to your individual needs.
  • Coordination of international flights, accommodation and relevant land arrangements.
  • A thoughtfully planned itinerary designed around your travel style and priorities.

Professional booking management

  • Assistance with selecting suitable travel options and suppliers.
  • Coordination of reservations, special requests and relevant travel details.
  • Organisation of your travel documentation and itinerary information.

Ongoing support and peace of mind

  • A dedicated point of contact throughout the planning process.
  • Assistance with travel-related queries and arrangements.
  • Support when unexpected changes or disruptions arise, subject to applicable supplier conditions and service arrangements.

My aim is to make your travel experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible, from the initial conversation through to your return home.

 

A Personalised Approach to Travel

I specialise in thoughtfully planned holidays, from luxury escapes and cruises to multi-destination international itineraries. I also manage corporate travel for clients who value efficiency, reliability and personalised service.

My approach is centred on building a genuine understanding of each client and creating travel arrangements that reflect their individual expectations.

I work best with clients who appreciate the value of professional travel management and want their arrangements handled with care, expertise and attention to detail.

To ensure I can provide the level of service my clients expect, leisure travel planning focuses on complete arrangements incorporating accommodation and land arrangements. I do not offer standalone airfare bookings or individual travel components.

Important Information

  • Upfront payment: Your professional fee is payable before itinerary planning commences.
  • Non-refundable fee: The fee covers the professional planning work undertaken and is non-refundable, including if you decide not to proceed with the proposed arrangements.
  • Travel costs: Professional fees are separate from all travel costs, including flights, accommodation, transfers, tours and other travel services.
  • Additional services: Additional professional fees may apply for certain amendments, cancellations, refund processing, complex changes or other services. Any applicable fees will be explained before proceeding.
  • Supplier conditions: Airline, hotel, cruise and other travel supplier terms, conditions and charges apply separately.

Your specific requirements and the applicable professional fee will be discussed with you before work commences, so you understand the arrangements from the outset.
