Booking Process
At Travel with Becks, I’m here to make your travel planning stress-free and enjoyable. Here’s how the booking process works:
1. The Travel with Becks Process
Designing your journey should feel as effortless as the trip itself. I bring care, creativity, and clarity to every stage - so you can focus on the excitement and anticipation, not the logistics. From our first conversation through to your return home, every detail is thoughtfully considered to create an exceptional travel experience.
2. Discovery Conversation
Your journey begins with a personal conversation where I listen carefully to your travel style, priorities, and the details that matter most. Whether your passion is culture, cuisine, nature, or simply travelling with ease, this step ensures your trip reflects you - not a template.
3. Expert Guidance
Drawing on years of industry experience and trusted global supplier relationships, I provide practical, well-informed advice on destinations, routing, accommodation, and experiences. My role is to guide you with clarity, ensuring each recommendation suits your pace, preferences, and budget.
4. Travel Design Investment
With your vision as my guide, I design journeys that are thoughtful, seamless, and genuinely personalised.
To begin the planning process, a travel design fee applies. This reflects the time, expertise, and care involved in researching, designing, refining, and coordinating your itinerary, and allows complete transparency from the outset.
Adult Travel Design Fees:
Long-haul travel: NZD $250 per adult
Short-haul travel: NZD $120 per adult
For family bookings, a reduced travel design fee applies for children. This acknowledges the additional planning required while keeping family travel fair and accessible.
The travel design fee is an investment in your experience. Once your itinerary is confirmed, I manage the booking process, liaise with suppliers, and support you every step of the way, so you can travel with confidence, knowing every detail has been carefully considered.
What’s included:
Your travel design fee includes:
Researching and crafting a personalised itinerary based on your preferences, travel style, and priorities
Refining options with you during the planning phase to ensure the right balance of experience, comfort, and value
Monitoring suitable airline pricing during the planning stage and advising on the best time to book
Coordinating flights, accommodation, experiences, and routing into a seamless itinerary
Fine-tuning the details until you’re confident and happy with the final plan
Once your itinerary is confirmed and booked, I continue to manage the details on your behalf, liaising with airlines and suppliers, overseeing changes or schedule updates, and providing personal support before, during, and after your trip.
While you’re travelling, you have 24/7 support, so if anything unexpected arises, you have someone who knows your itinerary and can step in to help. I look after you until you’re safely home.
5. Bespoke Itinerary Creation & Refinement
Here your trip truly takes shape. I create a tailored day-by-day itinerary with thoughtfully chosen accommodation, curated experiences, and a seamless flow. We refine the plan together until it feels just right - balancing inspiration with practicality.
6. Booking & Confirmation
Once your itinerary is finalised, I manage every booking with care and precision - including flights, transfers, accommodation and experiences, ensuring everything is confirmed, aligned and ready well ahead of departure. The details are coordinated so you can simply enjoy the anticipation of your journey.
7. Support, Before, During & After
Prior to departure, you’ll receive clear guidance to help you travel with confidence. While you’re away, I remain available should you need assistance or reassurance. And once you return home, I’m always delighted to hear about your journey and support your future travel plans.
