Personal Travel Consultants from AirTreks are leading international travel experts who work individually with each traveler to optimize his/her choice for airlines, routes and fares. The good thing is we are not computers generating one-way dialogue annoyances. In working with one of our consultants you will receive free value added communications for all of your questions and ideas about your trip(s). We are a culturally diverse group and are fluent in over 23 languages.

Why AirTreks Over All the Others

This is your journey - AirTreks will work to get you where and when you want to go, and with the best value possible. We have access to discounted private fares from around the world. If it was our sole purpose to just sell you flights then we would automate the purchasing process and simply eliminate the customer service component, but this would keep you from getting the service you deserve. The air tickets are only a small piece of the puzzle. Having great customer service from travel industry veterans is something to embrace with AirTreks.

You will work with one personal travel consultant rather than several random agents who might forget your name or your travel details. Having to speak with multiple agents elsewhere might increase the likelihood for human error and reduce your ability for great continuous evaluation of your trip. No need to waste time explaining your travel plans, over and over. Let one Personal Travel Consultant help you obtain the most efficient itinerary possible.

As world travelers, AirTreks understands the importance of addressing your travel concerns, and deciding to travel can be one of the most valuable investments you make. By ensuring your travel venture is in good hands, your agency of choice should offer the utmost care as if they are the ones traveling. We always strive to make our travelers feel at peace with their decision to plan the right journey, and we will build your trust so you are able to focus on having fun while you travel.

Why AirTreks vs. Doing It Yourself

Piecing together and purchasing an international multi-destination itinerary on your own through one of the many online travel Web sites can be frustrating and problematic. You open several browsers to find the best deals. You will consistently find that one of the trip segments will be less on one Web site while another segment of your route will be less on another site. Don’t waste your valuable time buying single ticket airfares from several different companies. You deserve to have the finest customer service from one source.

Doing it yourself…

More often than not, entering multiple cities of four or more will generally show a handful of “published” options that you will certainly have questions about (i.e. whether they are the most suitable and direct airports to fly into relative to where you want to go) let alone the inconsistent rate at which these lengthy itineraries are able to return a price for your search. And being solely focused on trying to find the cheapest fares from several different Web sites means you will spend countless hours in front of your computer while losing track of where you saw “this price and that price”(time = money). It’s okay to do some research on your own but know the cheapest price is rarely your best option when traveling to multiple places.

With AirTreks…

Leave the tedious stuff to us. One of our travel consultants, who are all experienced travelers, will work to narrow down your perfect itinerary, giving you many options to choose from and expert help evaluating the pros and cons of where and when you want to go.

Doing it yourself…

Means you will not enjoy the benefits of having a specialist help guide you through the planning process while missing out on expert advice for alternate airports, routes, and everything else, which could save you time and money. Booking your multi-stop itineraries online through an automated system will eliminate this luxury of speaking with a travel expert to address any questions and concerns you may have. Having options will add value to your travel plan.

With AirTreks…

Once you submit your itinerary through TripPlanner it gets assigned to a seasoned travel consultant who will follow up to discuss the details of your trip – Your questions, concerns and expectations are extremely important to us. Addressing all of this ahead of time will ensure your needs are met before you pay a dime. And if you’re not comfortable submitting a trip online call us at 1.877.AIRTREKS or +1.415.977.7100 (if calling from outside the US) and we will help you sort it all out.

AirTreks vs. the Alliance Fares

Tickets from AirTreks do not have the many restrictions as the Alliance fares. When planning your RTW journey consider making a wish list of must see places. AirTreks will get you just about anywhere in the world, in any city order you want, as long as we have the fare. The Alliance fares have limitations on the maximum number of stopovers for certain regions along with the countries and cities you can travel to, so you will not have complete control of traveling the way you want to. AirTreks, on the other hand, will make every effort to book you on any trip imaginable.

With AirTreks…

You can travel in any direction that you want, going forward, backward and side-to-side. The direction you travel is your choice. If we see that it makes more sense to have you go a different route in order to save you money and make your trip more efficient, we will certainly inform you.

With the Alliance…

You must travel in one continuous direction with no backtracking.

With AirTreks…

You can travel any distance and for any duration since it is your journey. If you would rather create a beautiful spider web for a route, by all means, please do. We place no limits on distance traveled. And it’s not just around-the-world (RTW) itineraries that we offer; we construct a fair amount of multi-stop international (MSI) itineraries for our clients who have no need to circumnavigate the world.

With the Alliance…

Your options are restricted to about four fare levels of up to 26,000, 29,000, 34,000 or 39,000 miles. And your journey may last any time between ten days and a year.

With AirTreks…

You don’t always have to return to your original departure destination. Why would we want to keep you from ending your journey somewhere new? It’s not our right to require that you return home.

With the Alliance…

You must begin and end your journey in the same country.

With AirTreks…

Go to as many places as you like. There is no limit on the number of stops.

With the Alliance…

You are able to take as few as 3 stopovers (4 with “oneworld”), or as many as 15 (or 20 with “oneworld”) in different cities (within the maximum permitted mileage). Essentially, you would have to trim your“wish list”even further.

Why not have the flexibility to choose your locations, the order of your visits, an unlimited number of miles you want to travel, and more importantly, to have your trip end in a different destination from where you started.
