I created this when we travelled with our baby for the first time, after lots of advice and research. 🧳✨ Another bonus of booking with a personal Travel Counsellor 💖

Now that peak booking season has arrived, I’m getting asked this question a lot, so I thought I’d pop it on here…

“HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?”

I remember asking my wonderful Travel Counsellor this when we booked our honeymoon, and I was shocked that the answer is NOTHING.

I do NOT charge you any fees to quote, I earn my living through commissions which are paid from our incredible suppliers if you choose to book.

So you get peace of mind of having me look after everything for you, from quote stage to when you return home… absolutely FREE! 🤩

I do however put my time, care and passion into each and every quote and provide a quality of personal service that you just can’t find anywhere else 😍

Please note, quote prices and availability are at the time they are sent to you.

Certain online booking platforms may reel you in with often too good to be true prices, but will they… 🩵Spend time resea...

Certain online booking platforms may reel you in with often too good to be true prices, but will they…

🩵Spend time researching to find the best to suit you?
💙Have expert knowledge of destinations? (if I don’t know a destination well, I have colleagues who are expertly trained in those areas)
🩵Do your online check-in for you?
💙Check you have all the correct paperwork for your destination?
🩵Request room upgrades and notify hotel of any special occasions?
💙Be there 24/7 when things go wrong?
🩵Provide financial protection?
💙Be flexible so it doesn’t cost you more in the longrun for amendments?
🩵Have all the supplier connections that you won’t find online, adding extra value and promotions?

And most importantly CARE - I treat every holiday like it’s my own 💖
Need I say more ☺️
This is why I value and am truly proud of the service I provide!

January often brings those January blues with it, the comedown from Christmas, the month of cold weather, dark mornings and unrealistic New Year’s resolutions. But the best way to lift the mood is to give yourself something to look forward to… and what better thing to look forward to than that holiday you’ve been saying you wanted to go on or that experience you’ve always dreamed of.

Flying with a baby? I know first hand how nerve-racking it can be, especially for the first time.
I can take the pressure off, help with advice and ensure everything is booked correctly for all yours and your little ones needs 👶🍼

Here are some quick tips:
1. Pick the Right Flight: Direct flights and nap-friendly times are ideal.
2. Pack Smart: Bring extra nappies, wipes, clothes, snacks, toys, and a blanket. Keep essentials within reach.
3. Ease Ear Pressure: Feed or give a dummy during takeoff and landing to help with ear discomfort.
4. Board Strategically: Decide if early boarding works best for you. If possible, get a seat with extra legroom.
5. Book a bassinet: Your baby can sleep safely and peacefully and have a space to lay down comfortably which also means you are able to eat/rest when needed.
6. Stay Calm: Babies can pick up on stress, so breathe and go with the flow—most people are understanding.

I spent alot of time researching and asking advice before we travelled with our 6 month old and I have started creating a list of what to pack for my clients with little ones too. So all you have to worry about is making those special memories to cherish forever ❤️

Another reason to book with a real person 🙂
