About travel planner services
The consumer protection point is important: package holidays sold by an ATOL-holding or ABTA member give financial protection that booking flights and hotels separately does not. Ask whether what you are buying is a protected package, because it decides what happens if a supplier fails.

Travel Planner — frequently asked questions
What factors influence the cost of hiring a travel planner?
The cost can vary based on the complexity of your trip, the planner's experience, and the level of detail required. More intricate itineraries or specialized trips, such as adventure travel or luxury experiences, may incur higher fees.
How long does it typically take to plan a trip with a travel planner?
The duration depends on the trip's complexity and the planner's workload, but a standard trip can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to plan. It's best to allow ample time for research and adjustments.
Do I need a qualified specialist for travel planning?
While many travel planners are general professionals, some specialize in specific types of travel, such as luxury or adventure trips. For unique requirements, a specialist may provide better insights and tailored recommendations.
Can I get same-day travel planning services?
Same-day travel planning is possible but may be limited and typically incurs higher fees due to the urgency. Availability depends on the planner's schedule and the complexity of your travel needs.
