Working with a travel advisor transforms trip planning into a stress-free experience. We bring deep destination, hotel and touring expertise to the planning process to ensure a high quality, seamless experience. 

We get access to all kinds of insider rates, value added upgrades and amenities that are not available to the general public. However, even if the price is the same, the experience you’ll have is next-level. Thanks to our trusted partnerships, your experience is significantly enhanced through our insider relationships—translating into VIP treatment and elevated service that goes beyond the ordinary.

If you’re simply booking a hotel, there is no fee for using our services as travel advisors. Hotels pay us a commission after your stay, and you won’t pay more (or less) by booking directly. In fact, many hotels reserve these commissions specifically for trusted advisors like us, thanks to our preferred partnerships and insider access.

Our trip planning fees vary based on the length and complexity of your itinerary, ensuring the time and expertise required are appropriately matched. It covers all the behind-the-scenes magic: research, planning, vetting, reserving — everything. We’ll provide a clear quote upfront based on your travel style and needs.

We offer far more than you might imagine. Each trip is the result of meticulous research and thoughtful planning, tailored specifically to your preferences and travel style. Through our trusted partnerships, we’re able to elevate your experience with exclusive benefits such as room upgrades, daily breakfast, and personalized service throughout your stay.

You’ll get a gorgeous daily itinerary with everything neatly organized in an app you can access offline. And the best part? You get to skip all the stress and just look forward to your amazing trip.

Absolutely! While we don’t book economy seats (because airlines sadly don’t offer much support there), we do handle premium economy, business, and first-class bookings.

There’s a $50 fee — but you’ll get access to a 24-hour support line if anything changes with your flights. Total game-changer if your plans hit a snag!

While American Express bookings may offer some perks, their call center representatives often lack firsthand travel experience and destination expertise—and cannot provide the personalized guidance today’s travelers expect.

When you book with Carte & Compass, you receive the same—if not better benefits through our preferred partnerships, including VIP amenities, exclusive access, and tailored service. More importantly, you gain a dedicated travel advisor who connects directly with the hotel’s on-property team to ensure every detail is handled with care. We’re also happy to book your travel using your American Express card, so you continue to earn all your points—without sacrificing service or experience.

Not quite — we can add your frequent flier or loyalty numbers to your reservation, but we can’t book using your points. (We wish we could!)

Right now, Airbnb doesn’t work with travel advisors, but don’t worry — we have access to a ton of gorgeous, professionally managed villas around the world. If you’re looking for that home-away-from-home vibe, we’ve got you.

Yes, and we highly recommend it!

Travel insurance can cover things like trip cancellation, medical emergencies, lost luggage — basically, it’s peace of mind in a messy world. We can guide you to options that fit your trip and needs so you’re covered just in case.

Don’t worry, we’re just a message away!
