The internet will give you 347 results and zero accountability.

A travel agent will give you three good options and recommend the one they think is right for you β€” the right one β€” and their phone number for when the flight changes at 11pm.

We’ve seen what happens when people piece it together alone. Mismatched transfers. Wrong room category. Three days of a trip that should have been perfect, quietly ruined. The internet was very helpful right up until it wasn’t.

Here’s what a specialist actually does that no algorithm can:

πŸ”ΉοΈWe’ve been there
πŸ”ΉοΈWe know which camp sits on the best river crossing
πŸ”ΉοΈWhich beach hotel has the room that faces the right way
πŸ”ΉοΈWhich airline adds three hours to your journey for no good reason

We look after you. We fight for you. Flight cancelled? Hotel overbooked? Your travel agent is already on it. Try getting that from a comparison site.

We build itineraries specifically for you. Your anniversary. Your dietary needs. Your idea of a luxury holiday. None of that fits a dropdown menu.

And the β€œbest deal” online usually isn’t. Hidden transfers. Resort fees. The room that only looks like the photo if you stand in the corner.

A good travel agent costs you nothing extra. The expertise comes free.

So if you would like your holiday planned properly by someone that cares, get in touch.

I've seen a lot of posts recently on social media about people being turned away at the airport as their passport isn’t valid for travel.

When you book with me, I give you all of the up to date information about travel requirements and ask for passports at time of booking; that way, any issues are dealt with in plenty of time.

So what do you need to know?

βœ”οΈ Check the FCDO advice for up to date information on the country/countries that you are travelling to

πŸ“† Check the issue date and the expiry date, the issue date is particularly important for Europe

βœ”οΈ Make sure the photo page and chip are undamaged

❌ Make sure the name on your flight ticket EXACTLY matches your passport

πŸ›‘ Children’s passports often run out sooner than you expect, so double check theirs too

If you are unsure what you need I will point you to the official guidelines.
