We hired Allied travel back in November. Our agent was Alex. She was outstanding. We got on our plane to fly to Chicago and we had weather delay. We missed our connecting flight and we called Alex from the airport. Within 10 minutes she got us a flight to Denver and we saved 2 hours of travel time and $1000 in missed appointments. She made our trip. Our luggage got lost and she got it delivered too our motel the next morning for free. I've never been more impressed in customer service in my life. She truly knows how to take care of people. Thanks Matt

Excellent experience every time! We have had Kim W. help us plan various vacations ranging from intimate family trips to large senior class spring breaks to European vacations that had some very unusual special request side-trips. She has done a wonderful job with each request. Highly recommend!

So thankful to have Allied (Jody specifically) support us throughout our destination wedding. As a Wedding & Event Planner, I recognize the importance of letting professionals guide you best with their insight and experience. Jody's recommendations aligned with our wishes and we know we would be golden from there. There were several obstacles throughout the planning process and during our stay, outside of Allied's scope, but they were helpful and instrumental in either making other vendors accountable and providing upgrades to us and our group of 50 friends traveling. Truly the best decision we made and look forward to doing it with this team again!!

My husband and I can't say enough wonderful things about Jody! When we decided we wanted to plan a destination wedding we reached out to Jody and we are so thankful that we did! Planning a vacation and dealing with finding flights, rooms, etc can be so overwhelming, but with Jody it was so easy! Oh and throw in the wedding too! She handled it all and we would have been lost without her. I can truly say I needed a person like Jody to help me with everything, when I say a person like Jody I mean someone who will go above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of. Jody is a strong, upfront, no bullshit type of person and when it comes to planning a destination wedding thats what you need, she didn't just help us, she protected us from a lot of stressful situations. 😉

Wanting an over-the-water villa trip, to celebrate retirement, we went to Kim W. for ideas. Her suggestion was Sandals South Coast in Jamaica. We booked the trip through her over 2 years in advance to secure our desired date. She handled all the reservations, kept us informed on the forms and documents needed, as well as perks that we should consider. All aspects of our trip went off without a hitch. Sandals SC is truly a spectacular place and it was the trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much Kim!!   D&K

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions About Planning Your Trip With Allied Travel

Planning a trip comes with plenty of questions. Here are answers to some of the things travelers commonly want to know before working with Allied Travel.

What types of trips can Allied Travel help me plan?

Allied Travel helps travelers plan vacations, cruises, honeymoons, destination weddings, group travel, Mexico vacations, Alaska adventures, river cruises, corporate travel, and other custom travel experiences. Our travel advisors can help coordinate the details and find options that fit your interests, schedule, and budget.

Do I need to know where I want to go before contacting Allied Travel?

No. You don’t need to have your destination or entire trip figured out before meeting with us. We’ll learn about your travel goals, dates, budget, interests, and preferences, then help you narrow down destinations and travel options that make sense for you.

Do I have to pay to meet with an Allied Travel advisor?

No. Allied Travel does not charge a fee just to meet with us. Your initial conversation is an opportunity to discuss your travel goals, explore ideas, ask questions, and learn more about your options before deciding how you’d like to move forward.

Is it more expensive to book a trip through Allied Travel than online?

Not necessarily. Working with Allied Travel does not automatically make your vacation more expensive. Our advisors help you compare options and consider the overall value of your trip, not simply the lowest advertised price. We can also help identify details and options that may be easy to overlook when booking on your own.

Why should I use a travel agent instead of booking everything myself online?

A travel advisor can save you time, help you sort through the many choices available, and provide personalized recommendations based on your trip and budget. You also have a real person to turn to for questions and support before, during, and after your trip instead of having to navigate everything on your own.

Can Allied Travel help with flights, hotels, cruises, tours, and other parts of my trip?

Yes. Depending on your trip, Allied Travel can help coordinate flights, hotels and resorts, cruises, tours and excursions, ground transportation, and other itinerary details. Bringing those pieces together into one travel plan can make the planning process easier.

What happens if my travel plans change or something goes wrong during my trip?

Travel doesn’t always go exactly as planned. If flights are changed or canceled or another travel issue comes up, Allied Travel provides a point of contact who can help you understand your options and work through the situation rather than leaving you to handle everything on your own.
