Planning Services
Meli Signature Travel offers different levels of planning support based on your travel needs and the level of assistance you would like.
Planning fees cover the professional time, research, expertise, and coordination involved in creating your personalized travel experience. Depending on the service selected, this may include destination and resort research, curated travel options, itinerary development, special requests, payment-plan coordination, and pre-travel support.
After completing your inquiry, select the planning option that best fits your needs. Planning fees are non-refundable and are separate from the cost of your vacation.
Already know exactly what you want to book? Complimentary booking assistance may be available for qualifying travel that requires little or no custom research.
Custom proposals are generally delivered within 3–5 business days after your completed inquiry and applicable planning fee are received. More complex or multi-destination trips may require additional time, which will be communicated in advance.
Travel pricing and availability are subject to change until the required deposit or full payment has been received and confirmed by the travel supplier.
Please review your proposal and provide feedback within 7 days. If I do not hear from you within that period, your planning request may be closed. If you decide to resume planning later, updated pricing and availability will be required, and an additional planning fee may apply.
I look forward to learning more about your travel plans and creating an experience designed around you. Complete the inquiry below to get started.
