Is it worth booking a trip through a travel consultant (travel agent)?Unless you have incredible relationships with suppliers, hoteliers, tour operators, and other travelling companies, your special journey may end up in a disaster, considering how many hours you may lose research the relaxing vacation or travel experience you ought to have. It can take up to 40 hours or more to book a vacation to a new and unknown destination. Multiply that time by your hourly wage, which is, for example, $25 an hour. Spending up to 40 hours in planning a vacation would cost you about $1,000 of your valuable time. Our nominal professional service fee is a fraction of this cost. Do you really want to browse through hundreds of online reviews, suppliers, as well as all the other components required for a trip? Of course not! That is where we come in. We do all of the heavy lifting so that you can sit back and relax, even before the relaxing vacation. All this at a nominal fee, which includes the professional treatment and FREE consultations that you deserve. So, let’s get started right away by contacting “As You Wish Luxury and Romance Travel”, and we’ll handle it for you! Want to get started? Call AJ! at 440-965-6868 or email him at aj@AsYouWishLuxuryTravel.com.

What does this fee cover?Our clients are hardworking professions who do not have time to take care of the smaller aspects of vacation planning. They are smart with their time and money. They understand the value of hiring a good professional for services they desire. A vacation is particularly important to them, as it allows them to reconnect with family and friends. We understand that we are competing for your non-discretionary funds with other luxury items, but rest assured, the trips that we plan for couples, families, and groups lasts a lifetime. Our professional service fee covers time spent in researching and building an itinerary. So, not only does your fee cover our time researching and building an itinerary, we also add the following bonuses (for most service levels): • A private travel portfolio, wherein you can submit payment authorization, 24/7 (for Gold & above.

When is the best time to start planning my vacation, be it a honeymoon or destination wedding?"Typically, 9 to 11 month is a good rule because flights are generally not available until about 11 months out (if you want a packaged trip but budget airlines book 6 months or less unless it is a chartered flights.) Cruise lines book 2 years out. There is never a better time to plan a vacation, honeymoon or destination wedding than right now. Don’t waste a single second.

-
If I am getting married, what name do I put on my airline ticket?"It is particularly important that you put the name that matches your passport and ID on your airline ticket. This will avoid any unnecessary interferences. So, if you will be newly married, most likely it will be your maiden name. Then upon your return you have 6 months to submit a name change to your passport at no extra cost.
-
What are the best wedding destinations?This would have to be the islands across the world. More specifically, the islands of Jamaica, Mexico, Costa Rica, etc. There is just something about these islands that encrypt these memories into the minds of guests for a longer time.
-
Do I need a passport or a Visa?Definitely yes. When flying internationally, a passport book (not card) is as needed as the wings of the plane. Without it, you’re grounded. Visas vary from place to place. Let us know where you want to travel, and we will be more than happy to let you know whether you need a Visa or not!
