Why should I use a travel agent instead of booking online?
Using a travel agent takes the stress out of planning. Instead of spending hours comparing endless options, I help narrow it down to the best choices that fit your style, budget, and wishlist. Plus, I have access to insider perks, upgrades, and promotions you won’t always find online.
-
Do travel agents charge fees?
Every agency is different. At Booked & Boundless, I often earn commissions from hotels, cruise lines, and resorts—so my services come at no extra cost to you. For custom trips or complex itineraries, a small planning fee may apply, which I’ll always explain upfront.
-
Can a travel agent save me money?
Yes! I monitor promotions, price drops, and exclusive offers that aren’t always advertised to the public. Even when the price is the same as booking online, you’ll get added value—like resort credits, free upgrades, or special amenities.
-
How do travel agents get paid?
Most of my compensation comes directly from the travel partners (hotels, cruise lines, and resorts) when you book through me. This means you get expert planning, support, and perks at no additional cost.
-
What types of trips can you help plan?
I specialize in all-inclusive vacations, family getaways, honeymoons, cruises, and group travel. Whether you want a relaxing beach escape, a fun-filled family adventure, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, I’ll take care of the details.
-
Do I still get loyalty points or perks if I book through you?
Yes! You can still use your loyalty numbers for airlines, hotel chains, and cruise lines—and often I can add bonus perks on top of what you’d already earn.
-
Do you handle travel insurance?
Yes, I can provide quotes and help you understand your options. Travel insurance protects your investment against unexpected issues like cancellations, delays, or medical emergencies.
-
Do you customize itineraries based on my budget and preferences?
Yes! Every trip I plan is tailored to your travel style, budget, and wishlist. Whether you prefer luxury or something simple and family-friendly, I’ll match you with the best fit.
-
Can you recommend excursions and local experiences?
Of course! From swimming with dolphins in the Keys to cultural tours in Europe, I’ll connect you with trusted tour providers and unique experiences.
-
Do you offer payment plans for vacations?
Yes, many resorts and cruise lines allow deposits with flexible payment plans. I’ll walk you through options so you can pay over time.
-
How do you know which destinations or resorts to recommend?
I stay up to date through training, certifications, industry events, and personal travel. I also work closely with trusted travel partners to ensure you get quality recommendations.
-
Do you provide guidance on health or vaccination requirements?
Yes, I’ll share the latest travel advisories and entry requirements so you know what’s needed before you go.
