How It Works

Our Planning Process

Our process is specifically designed to eliminate the stress of online travel planning and get you on vacation mode faster.

1. Initial Consolation

After filling out a contact form (link below), I will reach out to you based on your initial contact preferences. We can hop on a phone call or chat electronically to talk all about your vacation expectations, dates, travel style, budget, preferences, must do items, and any other details we need to know about your trip. If we’re a good match for one another, we’ll go over package options and see which one best fits your needs before heading on over to phase two.

2. Custom Package Prep

This is our favorite part. In phase two you’ll receive itinerary proposals tailored to the details provided during our initial consultation. You’ll get to look over options and see details catered specifically to your travel desires, budget, dates, and special requests. You’ll be able to provide your feedback and make changes to anything that doesn’t align with your perfect vacay. Basically, we’ll work back and forth until we have the perfect itinerary before moving on to phase three.

3. Let’s BOOK IT

Phase three is when Travel Aesthetic takes care of all of your travel plans. After securely collecting your payment information we will get to work booking all reservations, paying initial deposits, and making any other arrangements related to your booking. All you need to do is pull out your calendar and start counting down the days until departure!

4. Airplane Mode

Here is the best part – you finally get to go on airplane mode! Whether it be a week of unplugging at a luxury, all inclusive resort or a detailed safari through the plains of Africa; this is your time to vacation! We will check in along the way, making sure all of our travel providers are taking the very best care of you until your feet are back on US soil.

Planning Fees:

Based on initial trip requirements, custom packages may incur a nominal research fee. This will be disclosed directly after our initial consultation. Additionally, custom multi-destination packages will incur a nonrefundable per destination planning fee fee of $100.00 for all locations included in your itinerary.

NOTE: All inclusive travel to Mexico, Central America & the Caribbean do not typically incur research or planning fees. Additionally, if you plan to travel with a small group and/or trekking journey, travel planning fees are typically waived.

Starting in 2023, Travel Aesthetic will charge a nonrefundable planning fee for arranging airfare of $25.00 per person each direction payable with your initial deposit (group travel may incur a larger per person fee). With the fee we will be available to make airline adjustments for you prior to and during travel if flight disruptions occur.

If you would rather arrange your own air and forgo the planning fee, please provide your flight information after booking so we may arrange your airport pick up and return.
