What services does Elite Escapes offer?
Elite Escapes offers a wide range of services to cater to all your travel needs. We specialize in creating personalized itineraries, booking flights, accommodations, and transportation, arranging guided tours, and providing insider access to exclusive experiences.
Why should I use a travel advisor?
Travel agents are an amazing source of information and tips. Think of us as your personal travel concierge. We make sure that your trip is tailored to you, assist you in case of unexpected problems, and help you make sure that you are getting the best bang for your buck.
Will I pay more if I book through a travel advisor?
No, never. In fact, in most cases you save! We have access to wholesale pricing and discounts that allow us to guarantee the best possible pricing.
Why are hotel bookings free?
Travel advisors are paid a commission from the hotel. This is how travel advisors make the majority of their salary. There is only a planning fee if we are designing a custom trip.
Can you link my hotel loyalty account to my booking so I will earn points and status?
Absolutely! You’ll still earn points and maintain your status when booking through us, and you’ll also enjoy additional perks from our partnerships. It’s a win-win! Just be sure to let us know in advance.
Can we still work together if I have already booked my hotel?
It depends. Shoot us an email and we’ll check if we can do a “takeover booking.” This allows us to become your agent of record, giving you access to partner perks like complimentary breakfast, resort credits, room upgrades, and more. There’s no change to your existing booking and no extra cost—it’s a win-win!
Do you work with Airbnb?
While we don’t work with Airbnb, we do work with VRBO and with vetted villa companies.
Do you book flights?
We currently specialize in booking premium economy, business, and first-class flights, with a $50 ticketing fee. If you’re not interested in business class, no worries! You’re welcome to book your flights and send us the details so we can coordinate your transfers seamlessly.
Can I use my rewards points and accrue points?
Of course! We will review your points and miles to help you make the best use of what you currently have to go towards your travel now, or towards future travel.
Can Elite Escapes help with visa applications?
Absolutely! We have extensive experience in assisting our clients with visa applications. Our dedicated team will guide you through the entire process, ensuring that you have all the necessary documents and meeting the requirements of the destination country.
