It's been a week of hearing similar stories – three different clients, three different providers (online platforms, ChatGPT, and a shopping centre based agency chain), and the same underlying frustration. They each felt unheard or even misled entirely, for some, the impersonal nature of online booking bred anxiety (I always say, the internet is for looking, not for booking).

While the digital world offers a wealth of inspiration, and yes, even I've tapped into tools like ChatGPT for initial ideas.. the crucial step of booking deserves a human touch. Having tailored itineraries for my clients for over 30 years, I know the power of truly listening.

My approach is simple: I invest the time to understand you, to ask the right questions, and to ensure your holiday isn't just a trip, but a personalised experience designed specifically for you. It's your holiday, not just a booking for me, but it is my business and I pride myself on getting things right.

Do you deserve a personal travel manager? I think everyone does!

How are you spending your Sunday? Relaxed knowing your travel plans are in safe hands, or madly trying to find an alternative because your online travel agent just cancelled your accommodation without warning :o

When you trust me with your travel plans, you can be confident that I'm only partnering with the best – our reliable TravelManagers Australia approved suppliers and those I've built strong relationships with over the years. They're just as committed to quality as I am. I will also reconfirm your travel plans with each hotel and transfer provider to ensure you can turn up, check-in and enjoy your holiday.

Don't trust your itinerary to the internet, tell me your plans and I'll be your advocate for a smoother trip, suggesting things like 'skip the line' options and crafting an itinerary that lets you soak it all in without feeling rushed.

And if we're looking at a new hotel, you can bet I'll be doing my homework to make sure it's exactly what you expect.

"Thanks for the quote, but..." 😅 Yep, heard that one a few times over the past 10 years in business, it used to send me into a tailspin!! But after all this time, while my week ended with a booking falling through, I'm reminded that finding the perfect travel match is key, I'm not for everyone and that's OK

So, I'd like to send a huge thanks to my amazing clients who do trust me with their adventures and are happy to share the love with your network!

Your referrals mean everything. 🙏

"I don't know how you manage to do it, but you always get it right..." a lovely repeat client said to me last week.

As much as a LOVE hearing that, I have to confess that I'm not actually a magician, I simply listened to their plans, offered suggestions, provided solutions, saving their sanity from the myriad of information they'd been given and in the end, saved them money!

Let's be honest, we all have our strengths. Mine is travel. Just like you trust your hairdresser with a pair of scissors, your doctor with their diagnosis and your barista to provide the best coffee, when it comes to crafting unforgettable journeys, I'm your go-to.

I'll work within your budget and partner with trusted preferred supplier partners to bring your dream holiday to life.

One call. Travel simplified.

Todays 'nerdy' lesson from a self-confessed airfare geek 🥸

In case you didn't know, the 'cost' of your airfare is made up of different components, the actual airfare, the various country and airport taxes & fuel surcharges..

The screenshot below is a fare quote for a return flight from Sydney to Manchester via Doha.

You'll see the FARE component is AUD1107, then the next 3 lines all have TX & silly travel industry codes, which are the various taxes. These taxes will change depending on the airline you're flying, the government regulations of where you're departing from, transiting and your destination.. The fuel surcharge (the YQ tax) is also a large component of the TX and dictated by the airline (this was implemented during the fuel shortage many years ago, and seems to have stuck around!).

So, when you see the airfare and think 'gee, it's expensive' the airfare is actually pretty cheap, it's the taxes & fuel surcharges that make up the majority of the cost, and these charges are outside of the airlines control also.

Here's a further fun fact - I earn 1% (at most) on the FARE component only, so in this instance it would be $11.07 per ticket - which is why I charge a ticketing fee, $95 on an economy ticket covers my time and also the fees I'm charged for issuing your ticket, not to mention dealing with the airlines when things go wrong so you don't have to!

Is this the 'something new' you learned today?
