Here are some frequently asked questions about working with a travel professional:

1. What does a travel advisor do?
    As dedicated travel specialist, focused on fulfilling your every travel desire, we will help plan, book, and manage every aspect of your trip, from accommodations to activities. We offer expert advice, personalized recommendations, and handle all the details, ensuring a seamless travel experience.
2. Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking online?
    As a travel expert, fully dedicated to curating your ideal journey we can save you time and stress by organized customized itineraries based on your preferences. We have insider knowledge, access to exclusive deals, and can provide valuable support throughout your journey, including during unexpected situations.
3. Our Planning Fee Structure:                                Every exceptional journey begins with thoughtful planning. At Suncooked Luxury Travel, we charge a non-refundable planning fee to initiate the custom design process and ensure a personalized, detail-rich experience from start to finish. This fee reflects the time, expertise, and dedicated care that go into tailoring each itinerary. Planning fees vary based on the scope of your trip—including factors like destination, length of stay, complexity, and group size. This investment establishes a mutual commitment between you and Suncooked Luxury Travel, allowing us to focus fully on creating a seamless and unforgettable travel experience aligned with your vision.
4. What about the commissions travel advisors earn?   Travel advisors often earn a portion of their income through commissions paid by trusted travel partners, such as hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators. These commissions are built into the pricing and do not increase the cost of your trip—in fact, working with an advisor can often provide added value, such as room upgrades, exclusive amenities, or special experiences not available to the general public. While commissions help support the work we do behind the scenes, our primary focus is always on creating the best possible travel experience tailored to your needs and preferences.
5. Should I get travel insurance?             Comprehensive travel protection is an essential part of any well-planned trip—even if your credit card offers some level of coverage. While credit card benefits can be helpful, they often come with limitations and exclusions that may not fully protect you in unexpected situations like trip cancellations, medical emergencies abroad, or delays. A dedicated travel insurance policy offers more robust and customizable coverage, giving you peace of mind before and during your travels. From emergency medical care to lost luggage or last-minute changes, comprehensive protection ensures you’re covered when it matters most, allowing you to focus on enjoying your journey without worry.  
6. Assistance with flights.
    While I don’t typically book flights as part of my standard services, I understand that some travelers prefer a fully hands-off approach. I’m happy to assist with flight arrangements when needed; however, please note that airlines do not pay commissions to travel advisors, so a nominal service fee is applied for this added support. This fee covers the time and expertise involved in reviewing flight options, layovers, airport logistics, and connection times to ensure your journey flows seamlessly from start to finish.
7. Can a travel advisor help with travel emergencies?
    Yes, one of the key benefits of working with a travel advisor is having someone available to assist you with any unexpected issues or emergencies during your trip, such as flight cancellations or changes to your itinerary.

At Suncooked Luxury Travel, our planning services are designed to take the stress and uncertainty out of travel, allowing you to fully enjoy the anticipation of your journey. We handle every detail—from inspired research to seamless booking—guided by insider expertise, trusted industry connections, and a commitment to your experience from start to finish.
