Question 4

Do your travel agents charge planning fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each of our travel advisors sets their own planning fee for new travelers based on the complexity of the trip. Fees may vary depending on factors such as the type of trip, number of travelers, destination(s), and the number of quote revisions beyond our standard two to three options. These fees are paid directly to your advisor and are a separate charge from your travel booking.

We charge planning fees because your trip deserves our full attention—and so does our time. Travel advisors are not paid by suppliers until long after you’ve traveled (and sometimes not at all if plans change), so this fee helps ensure we can continue offering expert, dedicated service. It also allows us to prioritize clients who are serious about planning with us. As a high-volume agency that works with experienced travelers, we appreciate clients who value our expertise, connections, and the time we invest to craft something exceptional just for you.

Question 5

Do you offer customizable travel packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer customizable travel packages to ensure your trip meets all your expectations. We book travel packages that possibly include airfare, hotel/resort accommodations, cruise accommodations, airport transfers, travel activities, and travel insurance. We, also, have the ability to book special occasion accommodations like group trips, celebrations, surprise arrangements, and more. Whether it's a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a group adventure, we can create travel packages to meet your preferences.

Question 6

What destinations can you book travel to?

Accepted Answer

We can book almost any destination worldwide. Whether you want to travel by cruise or tour, we can create a travel package for you in your dream destination. We offer multi-destination itineraries, as well, for those who want to make the most of their travel experience. Talk with your advisor about the best destination options for you!

Question 7

Can you help with groups and destination weddings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We specialize in group trips, including destination weddings, and can assist with all the details to make your event unforgettable. From location selection to guest accommodations, Emily's Travel has you covered.

Question 8

Do you book flights?

Accepted Answer

Emily's Travel only books flights for travel packages that we create and manage. We do not book air tickets individually. All flights must be booked in full travel packages.

Question 9

Can you book Airbnbs?

Accepted Answer

No, sorry! We do not book Airbnbs.

Question 10

What reservations can I, the traveler, make on my own behalf when Emily's Travel plans my trip?

Accepted Answer

Emily’s Travel Advisors focus on planning the core components of your trip, such as accommodations, transportation, cruises, tours, and other travel experiences. While we’re always happy to provide recommendations restaurants, golf courses, some activities based on the destination, and other local favorites, those reservations travelers make for themselves either with the venue or by contacting the recommended location directly. We’re always happy to leave time in your itinerary for dinner reservations, tee times, and other personal plans.

Question 11

How do I know I'm getting the best rate?

Accepted Answer

We strive to offer the best rates and exclusive travel opportunities. Our team constantly searches for the best deals and negotiates with travel suppliers to ensure you get the most value for your money.

Question 12

Do I need a passport to travel?

Accepted Answer

If you are traveling out of the country, you need a government issued passport. Passports must not expire within six months of the travel return date. Passports must have at least two blank pages.

For cruises that depart from and return to the same U.S. port, a passport is not required. Instead, you can use a government-issued ID and a birth certificate. However, it is recommended to have a passport available in case of emergencies.

Question 13

Do you provide travel insurance?

Accepted Answer

We RECOMMEND the purchase of travel insurance to protect your travelers and your investment from unforeseen circumstances. Ask your travel advisor about the benefits of travel insurance and how to add coverage to your trip itinerary.

Question 14

What if I need to cancel or change my booking?

Accepted Answer

We understand that plans can change. Emily's Travel charges a $100 per person change/cancellation fee which must be collected prior to our agency releasing the booking. Cancellation fees are different than planning fees and booking charges. For example, you can not use your "planning fee" to pay for your "cancellation fee" to Emily's Travel. Our supplier's cancellation and change policies are, also, applicable to the booking which vary depending on the specific trip and components involved. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your booking.
