IF YOUR SERVICES ARE FREE HOW DO YOU GET COMPENSATED?

No. Travel agencies get access to great rates and extras so we can often find the same rate or better!, but as an added bonus, we’ll regularly check for any new discounts that may apply to your trip so you can make sure you’re getting the best deal.

We will NEVER directly handle your money. We book directly with legitimate industry suppliers. You’ll never see a charge on your card from “Yajayra” or send a check to “Good Directions Travel”, you’ll see the name of an established travel supplier such as Hilton Hotels or Princess Cruises.

WILL I NEED A PASSPORT FOR MY TRIP? WILL I NEED A TRAVEL VISA FOR MY DESTINATION?

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CONTACT YOU IF I NEED ASSISTANCE WITH A NEW OR EXISTING TRIP?

WILL I NEED A PASSPORT FOR MY TRIP? WILL I NEED A TRAVEL VISA FOR MY DESTINATION?

This all depends on where you are going. All international destinations by air require valid passports that must be valid for at least six months following the trip return date. If your passport is up for renewal soon, apply as soon as possible, as processing is taking longer than usual. For MOST cruises that depart and return from the same U.S. port to any destination in the Western Hemisphere, a Driver’s License and Birth Certificate will suffice. However, a passport is highly recommended in the event it becomes necessary to fly home from a foreign port in an emergency.
