Understanding Travel Agent Service Fees & the Value of Expert Planning

Many travelers may not be familiar with travel agent service fees. While some agencies have always had fees, they have become more common since COVID-19. This shift highlights the expertise, experience, and personalized service that professional travel consultants provide. Travel planning involves extensive research, coordination, and support—yet many aspects of this work remain uncompensated.

The pandemic brought this to light when travel agents spent countless hours canceling client reservations, resulting in a complete loss of commissions since agents are only paid when travel is completed. Additionally, some suppliers—especially airlines—do not offer commissions at all. Travel agents also often share their commissions with host agencies, making service fees an essential part of sustaining high-quality, dedicated service.

To ensure that we can fully focus on clients who are serious about booking their travels with us, we charge a nominal consultation fee. This allows us to provide exceptional, personalized service, including an average response time of just three hours during business hours—and 24/7 support for clients currently traveling. As a small business, we offer start-to-finish guidance, meaning you’ll always work with the same travel expert rather than being passed between representatives of a larger company.

We also understand that many prospective clients have general travel questions or want to explore whether their dream destination fits within their budget. That’s why we offer a FREE 30-minute consultation before committing to any service fees. This allows us to discuss your travel goals, answer key questions, and determine if we’re the right fit for planning your perfect getaway—all at no cost to you.

Most importantly, our service fees are only applied to the services you request. For example, if you prefer to research and book your own flights, you will not be charged a flight planning fee.

Our goal is to provide expert travel planning, seamless experiences, and personalized support—so you can travel with confidence and ease.
