10 Luxury Travel Tips You Don’t Want to Miss

Planning a dream holiday can be overwhelming, but with the right luxury travel agency (hint hint), it can be stress-free and unforgettable. Booking through Y Travel is the best way to ensure that your luxury trip is seamless and intricately tailored to your needs.

In this article, we’ll be exploring our top tips for luxury travel and the benefits of booking through an agency. From finding the perfect destination (it’s not always the most well known option!) to ensuring a stylish experience, let’s get started…

  1. Make sure you book as early as possible. With the increasing demand for luxury travel, it's important to plan ahead and book your flights and accommodation before they are snaffled up, especially if you’re planning to fly Business or First Class. Here at the Y Travel office, we’re currently the busiest we’ve ever been, which gives you an insight into how many people are organising luxury trips. Ensuring you have ample time to lock in the exact reservations we recommend will ensure your trip is better than imagined.

  2. Check in advance for any cultural, legal or health requirements you should be across. Knowing the rules in the countries you'll be visiting is essential for a stress-free trip. We will always do our best to arm you with as much information as possible prior to departure, however it always pays to be conscious and respectful of local customs and traditions.

  3. Consider the convenience of all-inclusive packages. Many luxury resorts offer packages that include meals, activities, and transportation. Gone are the days where only tacky brands offer all-inclusive. We can now recommend the most incredible array of extremely luxurious brands offering unlimited inclusions to ensure you have prepaid the majority of your trip.

  4. On that note, take advantage of special offers. Many luxury hotels and travel companies have special offers and discounts that can save you money. As a company policy, we don’t generally promote on price point as we operate in a very different space, however every now and then we will send you a brilliant offer for a luxury partner that will be too good to miss.

  5. Be open to our suggestions for properties with amenities that meet your needs, or your ‘Y Factors’. Whether you're looking for a spa, pool, gym, golf course, private beach, or something else, we will often recommend properties that meet as many of your requirements as possible.

  6. Get the most out of your travel experience. From exclusive tours to private dining experiences, there are plenty of ways to make your luxury travel even more special. During the booking process we will ensure we build in as many of your ‘Y Factors’ into your itinerary as possible.

  7. Make sure you have the right insurance. Invest in comprehensive travel insurance to cover yourself in case of any unforeseen events… something that we can, of course, arrange for you.

  8. Take some time to relax. Luxury travel isn't just about sightseeing and ticking off that list; ensure you allow time to relax, enjoy the experience, immerse yourself in the destination and embrace the Y Factors we have carefully curated for you.

  9. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the airport. Make sure to factor in extra time for security and other delays so that you don't miss your flight. The lounge will be ready and waiting for a comfortable and stress free take-off.

  10. Don't forget to document your trip. Take lots of photos and videos to remember your luxury travel experience for years to come. Don’t forget to tag @ytravel.world

  11. SNEAKY HOT TIP : Request that the Y Travel team offset your carbon emissions by automating your actions. This takes the responsibility completely out of your hands as we work with our partner at Carbon Positive Australia. All you need to do is approve this with your consultant and we will do the rest to make sure your travels are as minimally impactful as possible.

No matter which destination you choose, you can be sure that booking with the Y Travel team will ensure a stress-free, relaxing, and luxurious experience.
