OUR process
▼
Because once you’ve dreamed it, we’ll take it from there—handling every detail with care, creativity, and intention. Here’s what it looks like to plan your next chapter with 1215 Travel Co.
SO, HOW DOES THIS SOUND?
01
Start by filling out our quick inquiry form. Tell us your travel dreams, wishlist, and must-haves. No detail is too small—this is where the magic begins.
02
We’ll schedule a complimentary discovery call to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. You’ll share your vision, we’ll walk you through our process, and if it feels aligned—we’re off to the races.
03
For hotel-only bookings, we collect a $100 credit card guarantee (which goes toward your booking).
For custom itineraries, a signed contract and planning fee invoice get us officially started.
04
You can expect thoughtfully selected hotel options in 2-3 business days.
Custom itinerary proposals take a bit more love—expect delivery in 1–2 weeks depending on complexity.
05
We’ll review your proposal together and chat through any changes. Think of this as your time to fine-tune until it feels just right.
06
Once everything looks perfect, we handle the bookings, secure your upgrades and perks, and ensure every detail is dialed in.
07
Want a little pre-departure peace of mind? We’ll hop on a call to walk through your final itinerary and make sure you’re feeling 100% confident before takeoff.
Then? Pack your bags—your dream trip awaits.
Because planning a trip shouldn’t feel like a second job. Research shows that putting together a vacation can take upwards of 20+ hours—between comparing hotels, cross-checking reviews, planning logistics, and juggling reservations. At 1215 Travel Co., we handle all the heavy lifting so you don’t have to; from personalized recommendations to seamless coordination, we transform stress into ease—and elevate every detail into something extraordinary.
It depends, what you have already booked. Fill out our contact form or send us an email and we'll see what we can do!
We will only book flights if we are doing a full trip planning service. If you would like for us to book your flight then there is a $75 ticketing fee. Not interested? No problem! Feel free to book your own flights, and send us the information so we can coordinate the rest of your trip accordingly.
No at this time we do not offer payment plans. The deposit and payment is dependent on the hotel or supplier. Trip planning fees for custom itinerary planning are due upfront in full, prior to the start of work.
Travel advisors are paid commission from the hotel. This is how travel advisors make a majority of their salary. There is only a planning fee if we are designing a custom trip.
Most of the time, you’ll pay the same rate as booking direct—but with us, you’ll often unlock exclusive perks like complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, resort credits, early check-in, and late check-out. If the rate ever comes out slightly higher, it’s usually by a small margin—and the added value more than makes up for it. Don’t want the extras? No problem. We can always book the standard rate too.
Yes—this white-glove concierge service is available exclusively through our Grand Voyage package. If you’re looking for a seamless, start-to-finish experience (think hard-to-get tables, spa bookings, wine tastings, and more), this is the service tier for you.
As early as possible! Ideally, we recommend getting in touch 6–8 months before your trip, especially for popular destinations or peak travel seasons. That said, we understand life moves fast—so if you’re working on a shorter timeline, reach out anyway. We’ll do our best to work our magic.
Both are bespoke and deeply personalized—but Grand Voyage is our top-tier offering. It includes concierge bookings (dining, spas, wineries, etc.), a pre-departure call, and ongoing in-travel communication for a truly elevated, hands-free experience.
Curated Escape is perfect if you want a custom itinerary without the full suite of concierge perks—it still delivers luxe, tailored planning but gives you a little more independence.
