The Booking Process
It’s as easy as one-two-three. An inquiry form is completed to get more details on your trip. Then we chat about my services and custom planning fee. Once my travel contract and fee are received, we start planning and customizing your itinerary. And Voila! It’s GETAWAY TIME.
how does it work?
Inquiry Form
I email you an inquiry form where I get more details regarding your trip, such as names, dates, budget, destination, and other travel preferences/needs. Once this is completed and we are a good fit for one another, then we proceed to discussing my services.
Step one
Services/Planning Fee
We discuss my custom services further by phone or other preferred form of communication. In this discussion, I also outline my upfront, non-refundable planning fee (which is straightforward and honestly very minimal). Once this fee and my travel contract are received, then we are ready to move forward in starting the research part of your trip. Depending on your dates, trip complexity, and a number of factors, you will receive proposals and feedback from me within 1-3 weeks.
step two
Custom Trip Design
I start the planning process for your trip. I present various options and proposals/quotes. Once you have chosen the best option for you, I proceed with booking and confirming all of your trip components. This process can take several weeks depending on trip complexity and how many times we need to revise proposals. Once the booking is confirmed, I will further customize your itinerary by filling in the details, such as securing excursions, transfers, dinner reservations, etc. I will continue perfecting your itinerary up until departure.
step three
Getaway Time!
Your departure date is finally here, and it’s time to vacay! I am here for you from wheels up to wheels down. I walk you through any travel preparations and take care of all the final details. You will even have the option to access your itinerary through an app on your mobile device. How cool is that? There is no greater reward than seeing all that planning come to fruition and happy clients living it up on vacation. I want you to leave your trip feeling relaxed, refreshed, and blown away by your experience.

We highly recommend working with Abby on your next vacation! She planned our honeymoon to Costa Rica in October 2021. Abby helped us narrow down our options by listening to what type of vacation we were looking for and provided us with available resorts that met our budget. She went above and beyond and created a curated trip just for us! Each day’s activities were provided on her user-friendly app, including our required travel documents. Working with her made the trip so worry-free! We have recommended Abby Away Travel to many friends and family, including my sister and brother-in-law, who used her services to plan their honeymoon to Greece.
Preeya & Mike- Costa Rica Honeymoon
Abby made our honeymoon to Santorini, Greece seamless! Every aspect of the trip was a breeze, and we were able to just enjoy our time together. Abby took over the normally time consuming part of trip planning so we could focus on our wedding. We trusted her recommendations to make our honeymoon perfect. Her hotel recommendation was incredible, the definition of luxury! All of the restaurant recommendations were amazing, and the excursions were so much fun and exactly what we were looking for. The comprehensive itinerary that she put together included everything from departure to the return home. The usual annoyances of a trip like airport transfers were fully taken care of for us. She was very knowledgeable about COVID requirements and made sure that we had everything we needed to easily return home. If you decide to use Abby for your next vacation, you’re guaranteed a luxurious and worry-free vacation. We can’t wait to use her for our next trip and have already recommended her to our family and friends!
Ellie & Chris- Greece Honeymoon
Abby recently planned a wonderful 2 week trip to Italy for my husband and me. This was our first time traveling to Europe so her guidance was exactly what we needed. We did not have to worry about all of the time consuming research it takes to plan such a big trip. Abby covered everything from transfers, train tickets, hotels, dinner reservations, and tours (all of which were great!). Abby’s communication was great throughout the entire planning process, and she even checked in with us during our travel days when she saw we had flight delays and cancellations. We were truly able to enjoy our trip and each other without having to worry about a thing. If you are considering working with a travel agent, we certainly recommend Abby. We will definitely work with her again in the future!
