We believe in keeping things clear, fair, and easy—for you and for us. That’s why we implement planning and booking fees. These fees aren’t just about covering time and expertise; they’re about creating a transparent process where you know exactly what to expect.
By charging upfront for our services, we can focus fully on what matters: building the best possible travel experience for you, without bias toward commissions or specific vendors. This allows us to work in your best interest, streamline communication, and give your trip the time and attention it deserves from the very beginning.
If you have a number of travel planning needs, like:
You and your family take more than 2 big trips a year
You travel frequently for work and don't want to deal with the bookings
You schedule a lot of small weekend trips for sports teams
Then we have a plan for you! For just $995 for the year we can take all of that on for you. Sign up for the MTS Travel Membership where you can forward over planning needs or requests and we handle the legwork on all trips...big or small!
For businesses with ongoing travel needs, we offer customized corporate travel planning on a monthly retainer or flat-fee basis. This allows your team to access dedicated travel support, streamlined booking, and expert itinerary management—without the hassle of starting from scratch each time.
Our retainer model includes:
Priority planning and support
Consistent travel policy compliance
Customized reporting and expense tracking
VIP service for executives and team members
Partnering with us ensures your company’s travel is efficient, cost-effective, and professionally managed—month after month.
