While it may be tempting to tackle your vacation planning on your own through various online booking tools, it's important to remember the value of working with a luxury travel agency.

Just as you would hire a tax expert for filing your taxes, a financial advisor for managing your retirement portfolio, or a realtor for selling your home, investing in a luxury vacation requires the guidance and expertise of a professional. Aside from the convenience of concierge and booking services, a luxury travel advisor offers exclusive insider knowledge, connections, and personalized recommendations that make all the difference in ensuring a truly exceptional travel experience.

At Lindsay Maynard Travel, I know that true luxury is all in the details. I invest significant time and effort researching and exploring destinations beyond the beaten path to uncover unique and exciting opportunities to share with our clients.

I am paid through a mix of supplier commissions and the travel planning fee. Rest assured that receiving supplier commissions does not increase the cost of your trip. Actually, because I have close partnerships with thousands of companies, hotels, drivers, guides, and activity suppliers across various countries globally, I am able to provide you with the most competitive rates - and may even add a benefit or upgrade to your experience!

Like with any professional service, the initial planning fee compensates for my time and expertise to design your trip according to your preferences and financial plan. We will discuss any applicable fees during our consultation call.

While I have no set trip minimums or specific budget requirements, I do focus on luxury experiences and accommodations. Budgets vary greatly depending on various factors (trip duration, location, number of travelers) and I discuss budget, fees, and financial expectations in detail during our initial consultation call to ensure I am the best fit for your needs.

I have exclusive access to complimentary amenities, upgrades, and perks at close to 1,000 industry partners. I invest significant time and effort cultivating friendships with hoteliers and travel suppliers worldwide and leverage my vast network of partnerships, personal contacts, and global resources to provide comprehensive services to my clients. My preferred partner list includes a diverse range of accommodations - from trendy city hotels to charming family-run boutique properties to exotic resorts featured in popular magazines.

Beyond unparalleled VIP treatment, my clients can expect:

• Resort or spa credits

• Daily complimentary breakfast for two

• Complimentary upgrades, either at the time of booking or upon check-in*

• Early check-in and late check-out*

• Welcome amenity such as a bottle of wine or chocolates
