The most common question at the start of a first call is some version of: what do you actually do, and what does it cost me?
Here is the honest version. Jet Set Adventures is paid a commission by hotels, resorts, cruise lines and tour operators when a booking is made. On top of that there is a $50 planning fee to begin work — and that $50 is credited toward your trip, so it comes off what you pay rather than being added on top.
What that buys is the research. Working out which resort on a given beach suits your party, which month gives you the weather you're imagining, which room category is worth the upgrade and which is not, and then holding every reservation in your name.
What it does not buy is a discount on a rate you could find yourself. Advisors do not generally beat public pricing, and anyone promising otherwise is worth a second look. What you get instead is someone who has done this for fifteen years telling you which option is actually right.
There are also things we don't do. Jet Set Adventures does not book flight-only trips, and does not process visas. If your destination needs a visa, you'll be told exactly what is required and where to apply — but the application itself stays with you.
If your trip is a straightforward domestic flight and a chain hotel for two nights, book it yourself. If it involves multiple countries, a group, a milestone, a cruise, or a destination you've never been to, that is where an advisor earns their place.
