Why Do We Charge Planning Fees
Our Commitment to You
When you work with Compass & Sage, you're not just booking a trip—you're gaining a dedicated partner invested in creating your perfect travel experience.
Our planning fee ensures that we can devote the time, attention, and expertise your journey deserves. From the moment you reach out to the day you return home, we're committed to providing personalized service that goes far beyond a simple reservation.
This fee allows us to focus on what matters most: you and your dream vacation.
A Transparent Approach
We believe in honest, upfront pricing with no hidden surprises.
Our planning fee is applied to the cost of your trip, meaning it's an investment that goes directly toward making your vacation extraordinary. Unlike agencies that build fees into inflated pricing or earn commissions without disclosure, we're transparent about our process and our value.
You'll always know exactly what you're paying for and why—because trust and clarity are the foundation of every great travel partnership.
The Investment in Excellence
Excellence takes time, expertise, and access—and our planning fee makes all three possible.
With over 30 years of experience and exclusive partnerships with the world's finest travel brands, we curate experiences that simply aren't available to the general public.
Your fee grants you access to our industry relationships, insider knowledge, luxury perks, and meticulous attention to detail.
It's not just a fee—it's your key to elevated travel that's tailored precisely to your preferences and lifestyle.
Your Time is Precious
You're busy, and planning a luxury vacation shouldn't add stress to your life.
Our planning fee ensures that we handle every detail—research, bookings, coordination, and problem-solving—so you don't have to.
Instead of spending hours comparing options, navigating booking platforms, and managing logistics, you get to focus on what matters: anticipating and enjoying your journey.
We save you time, eliminate hassle, and deliver peace of mind, making the planning fee one of the smartest investments you'll make in your travel experience.
