Booking your trip with a travel agent is the best way to travel. Whether you're planning a cruise, a multi-day itinerary , group getaway or last-minute hotel stay, Fora travel advisors have your back.
Read on for answers about what it’s like to work with a Fora Advisor, and how advisors can help you get the most out of your vacation.
What is a Fora Advisor?
A Fora Advisor curates, plans and books travel. They can create a trip from scratch, help book a hotel you’ve already decided on and everything in between. They also unlock perks and VIP amenities at hotels, resorts, cruises and more around the world. Our advisors support you throughout the entire process, from the brainstorming phase to after you return.
What does a Fora Advisor book?
If you can dream it, they can book it. Fora Advisors book hotels, villas, cruises, safaris, yachts, flights, private jets, tour packages, travel insurance and more. You will be paired with an advisor who has expertise in your travel interests, ensuring you get the best intel for your trip.
Do Fora Advisors charge a fee?
Fees vary across advisors. Simple hotel bookings with our partner hotels may not incur a planning fee, while more complex itineraries may require a fee. Advisors communicate any trip-planning or flight-ticketing fees up front, so you know exactly what services you’re getting.
What's the process like when working with a Fora Advisor?
Fora Advisors start by getting to know you and your travel preferences so they can tailor recommendations to your taste, vacation style and budget. They collaborate with you to plan and book your trip, connecting with you via phone or email, depending on your preference. They’ll regularly check in throughout the process, and support you during (and after) your trip.
How can I maximize my experience with my advisor?
The more your advisor knows, the more they can personalize their recommendations. Share your general preferences and travel vibe, along with examples of hotels or experiences you've enjoyed in the past (plus any experiences you disliked).
Budget is also a key factor; be transparent about your expectations up front. Money conversations might feel awkward, but this insight helps plan a trip that’s perfect for you.
Also share details about your travel companions, any accessibility needs and if you’re traveling for a celebration or occasion. Advisors will use this intel to add that extra level of detail.
What can an advisor do for me that I can’t do for myself?
Fora Advisors bring an additional level of service and access. Fora’s partnerships (many of which are invitation only) unlock exclusive perks at thousands of properties around the world, like free meals, spa credits, late check-out times and more. You also get the best rooms. Our strong industry connections ensure you’re prioritized and treated like a VIP.
Can I use credit card points when working with a Fora Advisor?
We don’t recommend using credit card points for hotel reservations, but they’re valuable for booking some flights. Your Fora Advisor will help you maximize your points as part of an overall trip-planning strategy. They’ll unlock VIP perks and upgrades, regardless of what credit card you have, and help your existing points go further. Plus, when working with an advisor, you’re building a relationship that carries through to your next trip, so you don’t have to start all over again, ensuring you travel better (and smarter) on every trip.
