FAQ

1. Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking online?

Travel websites can book hotels and flights, but they don't get to know you. I help you choose the right destination, find the best-fit accommodations, build personalized itineraries, and save you hours of research. If something goes wrong, you also have a real person to help. 

2. How much does it cost to use your services?

Every trip is different, so pricing depends on the level of planning you need. I offer multiple planning packages ranging from destination research to full-service vacation planning. Your initial consultation is always free.

3. Is the consultation really free?

Yes! There's no obligation to book. The consultation helps us discuss your travel goals, answer questions, and determine which planning package is the best fit.

4. Can you book flights?

Yes. Depending on your planning package, I can assist with flights, hotels, cruises, vacation packages, excursions, transportation, and more.

5. Do I have to know where I want to go?

Not at all! If you're unsure, I'll recommend destinations based on your budget, interests, travel style, and the time of year.

6. Can you help me stay within my budget?

Absolutely. One of my priorities is creating vacations you'll love without overspending. I'll recommend options that make the most of your budget.

7. Do you only plan luxury vacations?

No! I work with travelers at many different budget levels. Whether you're planning a weekend road trip, a family vacation, a honeymoon, or a luxury getaway, I'll tailor the experience to your goals.

8. How far in advance should I book?

Generally:

  • Cruises: 6–18 months
  • International trips: 6–12 months
  • Disney & popular resorts: 6–12 months
  • Domestic vacations: 3–6 months
  • Weekend trips: 1–3 months

Booking earlier usually means better availability and pricing.

9. What types of trips do you plan?

I can help with:

  • Family vacations
  • Couples getaways
  • Girls' trips
  • Cruises
  • All-inclusive resorts
  • Road trips
  • Honeymoons
  • Group travel
  • Theme park vacations
  • International travel
  • Weekend escapes

10. What if I need to change or cancel my trip?

Life happens. I'll help you understand the cancellation policies for your bookings and assist with changes whenever possible. Policies vary by supplier.

11. Will I receive an itinerary?

Yes! Depending on your package, you'll receive a personalized digital travel collection with your itinerary, reservations, recommendations, maps, packing tips, and other helpful travel information.

12. Do you offer payment plans?

Many hotels, cruise lines, vacation packages, and tour operators offer payment plans. Availability depends on the supplier and your travel dates. Postcard Travel Club does not offer payment plans on travel advising services.

13. Can you help with group trips?

Absolutely! Whether it's a family reunion, girls' trip, destination wedding, bachelor or bachelorette trip, or corporate retreat, I can coordinate accommodations, activities, and group logistics.

14. Do you book cruises?

Yes! I can help you compare cruise lines, choose the right itinerary and cabin, and book shore excursions and travel protection.

15. Do you book all-inclusive resorts?

Yes! I'll help match you with the resort that best fits your budget, travel style, and vacation goals.

16. Can you help with passports and travel requirements?

I can point you toward the resources you need and remind you of important travel requirements, but you're responsible for ensuring your passport, visas, and other travel documents are valid before departure.

17. Is travel insurance worth it?

In many cases, yes. Travel insurance can help protect your investment if unexpected situations arise, such as illness, weather disruptions, lost luggage, or trip cancellations. I'll help you understand your options so you can decide what level of coverage is right for you.

18. How do we communicate during the planning process?

We'll stay in touch by email, phone, or text- whichever works best for you. I'll keep you updated throughout the planning process and be available to answer questions along the way.

19. What makes Postcard Travel Club different?

Every trip is thoughtfully planned around your interests, travel style, and budget, with curated recommendations, organized travel documents, and personal support from start to finish. You're spending your hard-earned money- I want you to feel like you made the most of it!
