Why should I use a travel agent instead of booking on my own?Style 4U Travel, as a Travel Best Bets connected agent, offers a level of service and value that online booking sites simply cannot match.

What’s the difference between a travel agent and online booking websites?The difference between a travel agent and an online booking site comes down to expertise, personalization, and support. Online platforms are convenient for quick, self-directed bookings, but they can’t provide the tailored service, insider knowledge, and hands-on assistance that a travel agent offers. A travel agent takes the time to understand your preferences, budget, and needs, crafting a trip designed just for you. Unlike online sites, with our supplier relationships,, we can access exclusive perks—like upgrades, credits, or added amenities—and offer transparent advice based on firsthand travel experience and extensive destination training. Online platforms rely on algorithms and generic options, while we bring a personal touch and expert recommendations. When issues arise—like flight cancellations, hotel problems, or emergencies—a travel agent steps in to resolve them quickly, saving you stress and hassle. Online sites leave you to deal with problems on your own, often with limited or no customer service. Finally, travel agents build relationships, working with you to plan not just one trip but a lifetime of memorable vacations. With a travel agent, you’re not just a booking number—you’re a valued client, and we’re here to make your travel effortless, enjoyable, and perfectly suited to you. Online booking sites simply can’t match that level of care and expertise.

Do you charge for your services?Like many professionals—lawyers, psychologists, plumbers, and electricians—Style 4U charges travel planning fees to compensate for the expertise and time required to create customized itineraries and ensure a smooth travel experience. The initial consultation is free. Once we decide to work together, the fee covers research, presenting options, refining plans, bookings, invoicing, follow-up, and handling any issues during your trip. These fees also support my ongoing training and industry updates, which I invest in weekly at my own cost. Travel specialists, unlike salaried employees, are paid commissions from vendors, which are already included in pricing. I receive payment 30 days after your trip. For a simple family trip, planning takes about 5-7 hours. For non-packaged flights, I charge a $75 fee per ticket due to the elimination of airline commissions. Customized itineraries take significantly more time, so I have a tiered fee structure that allows me to recommend the best options based on value, not commission. My fees are outlined in detail in the "How We Work" booklet provided at the time of our first consultation

That’s why I always start with a full consultation to understand your preferences, needs, and style of travel. Some first-time cruisers may want a fun-filled experience with lots of activities, while others may prefer a more relaxed, all-inclusive atmosphere. Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruise Lines are great for those who enjoy a wide variety of onboard activities and diverse itineraries. However, depending on your interests, there are other lines that might better suit your needs. Whether it’s luxury, adventure, adult or family-friendly fun, we’ll match you with the perfect cruise line for your first voyage!

What’s the best time of year to visit Disney parks?The best time to visit Disney parks around the world largely depends on crowd levels and weather.
