“I didn’t even know travel advisors still existed… until I worked with you.”

That’s what one of our clients said after I helped plan her 10-year anniversary trip to Italy. She thought she had to piece together every flight, hotel, and tour on her own—with 14 browser tabs open and zero margin for error.

I believe planning your dream trip shouldn’t feel like another job. That’s where a luxury travel advisor comes in—and why my approach is different.

What Is a Luxury Travel Advisor—Really?

Let’s clear something up: I’m not booking flights and calling it a day.

A true luxury travel advisor:

• Designs custom, end-to-end itineraries
  
• Sources exclusive properties and perks through top-tier industry networks
  
• Manages every travel detail (so you don’t have to)
  
• Advocates for you before, during, and after your trip
  

It’s more concierge than coordinator. More insider access than impersonal booking.

And when done right, it’s the difference between a nice trip and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Why You Might Think You Don’t Need One

I hear this all the time:

• “I love planning trips myself.”
  
• “I don’t want to pay extra for something I can book online.”
  
• “I didn’t even know people used travel advisors anymore.”
  

Here’s the thing—I get it. I started Cline Travel Co. because I was that person.

Before becoming a professional travel advisor, I planned trips for my family, friends, and eventually friends-of-friends. But once I started working inside the industry, I realized what the average traveler doesn’t have access to:

Preferred hotel rates. VIP upgrades. Private drivers who actually show up. Trusted guides who turn a museum visit into a memory.

That’s the game-changer.

What Makes Cline Travel Co. Different

I’m not here to push a pre-made package. I’m here to learn what matters most to you—and create a trip that reflects it.

Here’s how I do it differently:

1. I Listen First, Plan Second

Before I ever suggest a destination, I ask questions: What pace feels good? What’s on your dream list? What’s the best trip you’ve ever taken—and why?

Every itinerary I create is rooted in your story, not someone else’s bucket list.

2. I Handle the Details You Don’t See

From visa requirements to room preferences, airport greeters to dinner reservations, I handle the things you don’t know you need—until you do.

3. I Offer More Than You Can Google

Thanks to our affiliations with Virtuoso and Gifted Travel Network, my clients receive:

• Upgrades upon arrival (when available)
  
• Complimentary breakfasts and spa credits
  
• Early check-in/late check-out
  
• Insider-only experiences you won’t find online
  

4. I’m Not Just an Advisor—I’m a Traveler, Too

I travel often to vet hotels, meet with guides, and experience destinations firsthand, which allows me to match properties and experiences to your preferences.

Why It Matters—Especially Now

In a world of overbooked hotels, travel disruptions, and influencer-overload, having someone in your corner who knows the industry—and knows you—is priceless.

Our clients come to us when:

• They’re celebrating something big (anniversary, honeymoon, milestone birthday)
  
• They want to finally stop planning around everyone else’s schedules
  
• They’re ready to invest in their travel like they do in their home, family, or legacy
  

If you want peace of mind, curated experiences, and a trip that’s as enjoyable to plan as it is to take—yes.

But don’t just take our word for it. Let us show you what it’s like.
