At J Mychael Travel, we believe in forming strong and lasting relationships with our clients.

From the initial consultation to the "Welcome Home", we are present in every stage of the travel experience.
 

• You will begin by selecting a day and time for your 20-minute complimentary consultation to discuss your travel vision.
  In this meeting we explore ideas, travel style, interests, and requirements for your itinerary.
  
  
• A planning agreement will be emailed to you for your review and acceptance. Once this has been signed and received along with our previously discussed non-refundable professional planning fee, the design process of your itinerary begins.
  
  
• Now we launch the creative process, where we begin to create an extraordinary journey for you. We offer you options, and fine-tune them to the final itinerary you envision, customized exclusively for you.
  
  
• Your itinerary is confirmed when we have collected all deposits necessary to secure your reservations. The final payment is processed between 30-120 days prior to departure, which varies by itinerary created. Your final travel documents are prepared and delivered to you prior to departure.
  
  
• It’s now time to enjoy and experience an incredible journey designed specifically for you. Remember, we are in every stage of the travel experience, so we are available when you’re traveling. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to contact us. As well, we are in contact with our supplier relationships on the ground or at sea wherever you are traveling to ensure that all is executed seamlessly on your behalf.
  
  
• Upon your return, we speak again either in-person, by phone, or online to review the highlights of your travels. We want to know what you loved, get your feedback, and can even explore where you want to go next.

As a Luxury Travel Advisor, my priority is to deliver an extraordinary travel experience that is entirely personalized to your preferences, dreams, and lifestyle. To achieve this, charging a planning fee before starting the proposal process is an essential step. It ensures that I can dedicate the time, expertise, and resources necessary to design an itinerary that exceeds your expectations. Here’s why this investment is vital to providing you with the best service possible:

1. Custom-Tailored Expertise for Your Unique Vision

Creating a travel proposal isn’t about pulling together generic packages; it’s about crafting a journey that reflects who you are. This requires:

• Time to Understand Your Goals: I take the time to listen to your preferences, from the destinations you dream about to the experiences you cherish most.
• In-Depth Research: I carefully evaluate destinations, accommodations, and experiences that align with your vision and offer unparalleled quality.
• Access to Insider Connections: Leveraging my industry relationships, I secure exclusive perks, upgrades, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
  
  

This investment ensures I allocate the time and focus required to truly personalize your proposal.

2. A Commitment to Precision and Excellence

A luxury travel proposal involves a level of care and detail that takes time to perfect. This investment allows me to:

• Conduct extensive research to match your needs with the best options.
• Coordinate complex logistics for seamless travel.
• Ensure all aspects of your journey, from accommodations to dining to activities, reflect your personal style and preferences.
  
  

This dedication to detail ensures that every component of your journey is exceptional.

4. Transparency and Value Beyond Compare

This represents an investment in your travel dreams. While it covers the time and expertise required to develop your proposal, it also delivers significant benefits:

• Access to Industry Perks: My insider knowledge and relationships often result in upgrades, exclusive amenities, and bespoke experiences.
• Savings in Time and Effort: You avoid the stress and uncertainty of piecing together a complex itinerary on your own.
