Our Unique Approach
At Mt. Airy Travel, we don’t simply plan a vacation. We collaborate closely with our clients until we are confident, we have the framework for your personally curated itinerary, attuned to your desired activities and how you like to do them in order to accurately plan dream vacation days.
What to Expect with Mt. Airy Travel
1. To get started, book an initial 1-hour complimentary consultation to discuss your vision for the perfect vacation. We'll explore potential destinations, your travel preferences, and any specific requests you have. This is our chance to get to know each other and understand your dream getaway!
2. After our initial consultation, we will begin the research phase! We'll use all the details from our conversation to create personalized itinerary ideas just for you. Within a few business days*, you’ll receive a few travel itinerary options to consider. At this point, we can schedule a call to review the options together. During this call, we can discuss your preferred itinerary and make any adjustments needed before finalizing your booking.
3. It’s time to turn your travel dreams into reality! Once you’re satisfied with the final itinerary, we’ll handle everything—booking your hotel stays and your flights, arranging transfers, and securing all the necessary accommodations. You’ll receive confirmation emails, so keep an eye on your inbox. After you submit your booking details and deposit, your vacation will be officially set.
Get ready for your adventure!
4. What makes your vacation truly special are the unique details tailored to those traveling. For a romantic getaway, it might be planning that experience you’ve both dreamed about for years. For families, it could be adding a surprise that delights the kids. In Europe, it's essential to arrange transportation and must-see site tickets in advance. Once your reservation is booked, we can start enhancing your trip with the extras—excursions, tours, restaurant recommendations, and more!
5. Customer service is our top priority! From the moment you start planning until the day you come home, you can count on Mt. Airy Travel to monitor travel updates and any changes. We offer a free travel app that keeps your entire itinerary right at your fingertips. We’ll also review your travel documents together and go over what to expect during your trip. Plus, we’re always available to assist you while you’re traveling to and from your destination. That’s the personalized service you won’t find on an online travel site!

Expert Travel Planning with a Personal Touch
As a business owner and travel advisor, I’ve dedicated time and resources to building strong relationships with travel partners, visiting destinations personally, and meeting with on-site tour guides, hotel managers, and resort teams. I stay on top of the details, managing travel changes—especially during challenging times like the pandemic—while also growing my business. To be transparent, travel advisors earn a small commission, which is paid only after clients have completed their trips. Because of this, we charge a professional planning fee that allows us to invest the time and care needed to thoroughly research, plan, and coordinate your travels.
Our planning fees cover a full, detailed approach to trip research using our 6-point consultation plan and comprehensive comparative analysis. We carefully select the ideal destination, experiences, and accommodations to match your vision. Thanks to our connections with top suppliers, we can ensure your trip runs smoothly from start to finish.
We tailor everything—from your trip’s purpose (whether it’s a romantic escape, family adventure, or relaxing retreat) to the perfect atmosphere, dining, activities, and cultural experiences—creating a vacation that is uniquely yours.
