Answers to common questions about working together and planning your next journey with intention.
What can I expect when working with Jet-Setter Routes?
Jet-Setter Routes provides personalized, high-touch travel planning for travelers who value thoughtful design and professional coordination.
From our first conversation through your return home, I oversee the strategy, reservations, and logistics that shape your experience. Every journey is approached with intention, ensuring your destination, accommodations, pacing, and on-the-ground support align with your goals.
You are not simply booking travel. You are working with a dedicated advisor who manages the details, protects your investment, and advocates for you at every stage of the journey.
What is included when I work with you?
When you work with me, you receive comprehensive support from planning through travel completion.
This includes:
Destination and property research
Personalized itinerary design
Hotel and cruise reservations
Private transfers and curated experiences
Pre departure preparation guidance
In destination support if adjustments are needed
Post travel follow up assistance if required
You have a dedicated travel advocate in your corner, not just a booking agent. My role is to ensure every detail is thoughtfully coordinated from start to finish.
How is working with a travel advisor different from booking online?
Online platforms provide transactions.
A personal travel advisor provides strategy, advocacy, and trusted relationships in destination.
I help you make informed decisions before reservations are confirmed, match you with the right properties and experiences, and coordinate logistics behind the scenes. If something shifts while you are traveling, you are not navigating it alone. You have professional support overseeing the experience.
Do you charge a planning fee?
Yes.
To begin the planning and booking process, a non refundable Professional Planning and Service Fee is required. This reflects the time, expertise, and coordination involved in designing a personalized journey.
The fee varies depending on destination complexity, itinerary scope, and number of travelers. Details are shared during your consultation.
This fee is separate from the cost of travel and is not applied toward trip payments.
Do you offer complimentary bookings?
If you already know the exact property, travel dates, and room category you would like, and do not require research or itinerary design, I am happy to secure and manage the reservation without a planning fee.
Fully customized itineraries and curated planning services require a professional planning fee.
How far in advance should I begin planning?
International travel should begin no less than 90 days prior to departure depending on destination, with most itineraries ideally planned between 6 to 18 months in advance.
Holiday travel, milestone celebrations, and high demand destinations should be secured as early as possible to access the best available accommodations and experiences.
Early planning allows for premium room categories, preferred properties, and a more intentional design process.
Do you assist with last minute travel?
I can assist with short notice travel when availability allows. However, planning within 90 days of departure significantly limits access to preferred accommodations and experiences.
Requests made within 90 days of departure require an additional fee due to the increased coordination and urgency involved.
For the strongest options and a thoughtfully paced itinerary, advance planning is always recommended.
What types of trips do you plan?
I specialize in elevated leisure travel experiences, including:
International vacations
Honeymoons and romantic travel
Milestone celebrations
Luxury cruises
Family and multigenerational journeys
Small & Large Group getaways
Each itinerary is curated to reflect your travel style, comfort expectations, and desired pace.
Do you have access to upgrades or added amenities?
Yes.
Through my professional partnerships, including my affiliation with Virtuoso, clients may receive upgrades when available, preferred rates, property credits, and exclusive amenities at select hotels and cruise lines.
Virtuoso status enhances the value of your reservation and provides access to trusted global partners who elevate the overall experience.
All amenities are subject to availability.
What is Virtuoso, and how does it enhance my travel experience?
Virtuoso is a global network of luxury travel advisors and preferred travel partners. My affiliation provides access to highly vetted hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators, along with added benefits and priority recognition at select properties.
It is one of the ways Jet-Setter Routes is able to offer elevated travel experiences supported by trusted relationships in destination.
Do you plan cruises?
Yes.
I book premium and luxury cruise experiences worldwide. Through preferred partnerships, select sailings may include added amenities and curated benefits.
Whether ocean or river cruising, I ensure the itinerary, ship, and experience align with your travel goals.
Can you assist with group travel?
Yes.
I coordinate group experiences such as milestone celebrations, wellness retreats, couples travel, and friends’ getaways. Group planning includes accommodation management, itinerary coordination, and logistical oversight to ensure a seamless experience for all travelers.
Will you be available while I am traveling?
Yes.
Working with a travel advisor means you have support beyond booking. If adjustments are needed while you are traveling, you have a dedicated point of contact to assist and coordinate on your behalf.
My role extends beyond reservations. I remain an advocate for your experience from departure through your return home.
How do we get started?
A scheduled Travel Design Consultation is required before planning begins.
Jet-Setter Routes operates by appointment only in order to maintain a structured schedule and provide focused attention to both current travelers and future clients.
During your consultation, we will discuss your travel goals, timing, comfort preferences, and investment range. From there, I outline the next steps for moving forward.
