VIP Travel

There are a lot of reward programs out there and lots of promotions and offers for elite travelers. While it may be hard for you to sort through it all, that’s where your travel agent comes in handy. We can save you time, money and make sure that you are pampered, because we know the best offers and the ways to get you extra perks like priority check-in, late check-out, butler service, guaranteed reservations, upgraded services and credits.

As an independent agency partner of American Express, my agency has access to the travel benefits exclusively for Platinum and Centurion Members. Many cruise lines, fine hotels and resorts and tour companies offer credits, upgrades, champagne and other perks when booking through us. These extras for the elite client give you that edge to be treated with the highest level of service you expect on your vacation.


For those who aren’t American Express members, many luxury suppliers offer their own special contracted perks for clients booking through their preferred travel agent channels. These exclusive programs for travel agent clients include Belmond Bellini Club, Dorchester Diamond Program, Four Seasons Preferred Partner, Jumeirah Passport to Luxury, Langham Hotel Couture, Mandarin Fan Club, Peninsula PenClub, Ritz-Carlton Stars, Relais & Chateaux Preferred Partner Program, Rocco Forte Knights, Rosewood Elite, Sofitel Travel Experience Program, and Starwood Luxury Privileges. These programs are not available for clients wishing to book direct with the hotels, only when you use one of their travel agent partners.
