Professional Travel Planning Fees 

Smartbird World Travel is a firm of professional travel advisors who invest time and financial resources in obtaining destination knowledge, experience and expertise, industry and supplier training and relationships all of we utilize on behalf of serving our clients. Because of this investment we are unable to “waive” fees or provide quotes, pricing, services and/or advice for those that do not have an active, established client-advisor relationship with SmartBird World Travel. 

SB World Travel and SB World Luxe Voyages offers a complimentary 30 minute consultation. We use a consultative approach to explore the “what, why, how, when and who “requirements, travel style and budget  for your vacation. We analyze this information to offer proposals that meet your expectations. At the conclusion of the consultation, if we mutually agree to move forward; a professional travel planning fee is collected prior to researching and building itinerary options.    

Based on the complexity of the itinerary we will provide up to 3 options for review and discussion. We will  provide up to 2 additional options. Upon your selection of  the itinerary, we will make any requested adjustments and collect the required traveler information and deposits. This information will be used to re-confirm the pricing and availability with the airline, cruise line, resort, hotel, rail or tour operator. Once confirmed we will provide confirmations and additional payment instructions.

For groups we will set up a web-link for traveler  registration and deposit payments.  Prior to travel we will furnish travel documents, vouchers, tickets and travel insurance confirmations. During travel we provide assistance should anything not meet your expectations. We welcome post-travel feedback.
