FAQ'S
Everything else you might be wondering, all in one place.
Founded in 1887, Brownell is one of the most respected luxury travel agencies in the world and the oldest luxury travel agency in North America. Because of Brownell’s history, they’ve built some of the most established and trusted relationships with travel partners around the world— connections that directly benefit our clients.
Virtuoso is an elite, invitation-only global network of the top 1% of luxury travel partners in the world - including many of the world’s leading hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators.
Through our affiliation with Brownell and member of the Virtuoso network, we’re connected to some of the top travel partners globally. These relationships truly become an extension of the service we provide to you. When partners recognize that we’re part of these networks, it often translates into VIP recognition, elevated service, and thoughtful amenities throughout your journey. What this means for you is a more personalized travel experience, insider access, and a higher level of care that goes well beyond what you can typically find booking on your own.
You absolutely can plan a trip on your own—but many of our clients would rather not spend hours researching, second-guessing, and piecing everything together.
Our role is to simplify the process and elevate the experience. We get to know how you like to travel, then design a trip that fits you—while helping you avoid common pitfalls and choices that look great online but don’t always deliver in real life.
Beyond that, we're able to enhance your travels with VIP perks, creating a more refined and effortless experience.
AMEX and Chase can be great for straightforward, transactional bookings—but they’re not designed for highly personalized, experience-driven travel. With us, it’s a more personal and consistent relationship. You’ll always work directly with us, so there’s no starting over or repeating your preferences to a new agent each time.
Through our partnerships, we’re also able to offer VIP perks, priority treatment, and added value that often goes beyond what large platforms provide. It’s a more thoughtful, connected approach to travel—focused on creating a seamless experience, not just completing a booking.
As a general guideline:
- Safaris, hosted tours, and very remote destinations: 12–18 months in advance
- Custom international trips: 6–11 months in advance
- Holiday travel: 6-9+ months in advance
- Quick getaways or hotel-only stays: Much more flexible
We’re also able to add thoughtful perks—like daily breakfast, priority room upgrades (when available), resort credits, and more—at no additional cost. It’s a simple way to elevate your stay—without any added effort on your part.
If you’re interested in a private home or villa, we do have access to a curated portfolio of exceptional options through our trusted partners. These homes are fully vetted and professionally managed, often with added services like concierge support, housekeeping, and sometimes on-site staff. This allows us to confidently recommend accommodations that offer both comfort and a consistently high level of service.
Working with our concierge air desk means your flights are monitored and supported 24/7. If delays or changes occur, you’ll have proactive assistance without needing to navigate wait times at the ticket desk or airline hold times on your own. (air quotes are complimentary, ticketing fees apply)
If you prefer to book your own flights, that’s fine too!
We can provide tailored policy options based on your trip and preferences, including plans with “cancel for any reason” coverage.
Ultimately, the policy is your decision, but we’ll guide you toward the right options so you can travel with peace of mind.
Before we begin, we’ll discuss your budget and priorities to ensure your proposal aligns with your investment level, with thoughtful enhancements suggested when appropriate. Our goal is to provide clarity and confidence—so you feel great about both the experience and its value.
We’re often the right fit for those who prefer a more guided, elevated approach—travelers who want every detail thoughtfully handled and who value a refined, white-glove experience. If you’re seeking a trusted partner to collaborate with and create a seamless journey from start to finish, we’d love to connect.
