Advisory Fee Structure

How We Work

Transparent pricing for concierge-level travel planning — because exceptional experiences deserve expert guidance.

How We Work

Thoughtful travel planning starts with an advisor who knows you, understands how you like to travel, and manages the details from beginning to end.

Your advisory fee covers personalized itinerary design, reservations, pre-departure planning, and support throughout your travels.

Planning fees are separate from the cost of travel and reflect the expertise, relationships, and personal advocacy your BTA travel advisor brings to every journey.

The BTA Difference

What your advisory fee includes

A Trusted Advisor

You work directly with a dedicated travel professional who knows your preferences, travel style, and what matters most to your family.

Access & Relationships

BTA's membership in Virtuoso and preferred partner networks opens doors that are simply not available when booking independently.

Time Returned to You

The research, vetting, logistics, and follow-up are handled entirely by your advisor — freeing you to focus on the experience, not the planning.

Travel That Gives Back

A portion of every booking supports philanthropic causes including Make-A-Wish, veterans' programs, arts & culture, and communities where you travel.
