Planning & Service Policies

Customized Itinerary Planning

Creating a personalized travel itinerary is a detailed process that requires time and expertise. I charge a non-refundable planning fee for my services, which includes:

    •    All consultation sessions

    •    Preparation of an itemized, day-by-day proposal for the agreed destination(s)

    •    Collaboration to refine the itinerary until it meets your expectations and is confirmed.

    •    Management of accommodations, tours, transfers, and all necessary reconfirmations

    •    Dedicated support throughout the entire trip

Clients may independently arrange loyalty or reward-based air and hotel reservations as part of their itinerary. However, please note that the management and support of these reservations remain the client’s responsibility during travel.

Air Travel

BITE Travel does not book air travel on behalf of clients. However:

    •    I am happy to review proposed flight options to ensure they align seamlessly with the overall itinerary.

    •    If assistance with air reservations is desired, I would be pleased to introduce clients to the services offered by Brownell Travel’s Air Department.

Planning Fees

    •    Begin at $250 per country for leisure trips of up to 14 days with a maximum of six travelers.

    •    For itineraries that exceed these parameters, fees will be determined based on the scope of work.

    •    Destination weddings and group travel will incur planning fees quoted following the initial consultation.

    •    Once the overall trip outline has been agreed upon, any major changes—such as adding or replacing destinations, significantly adjusting travel dates, or restructuring the trip format—may be subject to an additional planning fee.

Cancellations

    •    A cancellation fee of up to 15% of the cost of confirmed travel arrangements may apply, regardless of the reason for cancellation.

    •    This fee is in addition to any penalties imposed by travel suppliers.

    •    I strongly recommend that clients purchase comprehensive travel protection to safeguard their investment.

Complimentary Bookings

It is my pleasure to handle straightforward, standard hotel and cruise bookings through our Preferred Partners and the Virtuoso network on your behalf at no additional cost.
