I founded Mando Travel for one simple reason: to share my passion for luxury travel and create exquisite unique experiences. I'm also proud to work with you to combine points and cash to help you make the most of your vacation. I relish the opportunity to use my hard-earned cash for once-in-a-lifetime experiences around the world, while flying on miles.

For instance, on my trip to Bhutan, I utilized Alaska Airlines miles to fly Cathay Pacific business class to Bangkok and stayed at the stylish W Hotels Bangkok on points. I then flew Drukair to Paro, Bhutan and stayed at the extraordinary Como Uma Paro and Uma Punakha resorts. The hotels and guides there were among the best I've encountered. By saving money on flights, I could splurge on some of the finest properties the country had to offer.

Some travel advisors may avoid booking travel using mileage and points. However, at Mando Travel, it's precisely what I adore doing, and I'd love to do it for you too! Don't have belong to any loyalty travel program? I can help!

If you're wondering why you should use a travel agent in this age of the Internet, the answer is, you don't have to. However, a professional agent can save you a lot of time and provide a more customized experience than you could create on your own. I have connections with tour operators and other professionals that can offer better experiences, and you won't have to spend hours researching.

Additionally, I can act as your advocate in case you encounter any issues during your travels. My advice will always be unbiased and tailored to your specific needs, as I work for you, not my suppliers.

Absolutely! I'm here to help you make the most out of your travel points. To unlock the full potential of free travel, it's essential to have a strategic plan, especially involving credit cards. During our points service consultation, we'll discuss your travel aspirations and preferences. I'll inquire about your desired access, preferences for business class flights, and your comfort level with credit card spending. Based on our conversation, I'll provide tailored recommendations on which credit cards may suit you best and how to maximize your spending to earn points efficiently.

Currently, I utilize 17 different credit cards, each strategically chosen to maximize their unique benefits. While this approach may not be for everyone, there are countless lucrative strategies to enhance your travel experiences. I've honed these strategies over time, and I'm excited to share them with you.

As a Virtuoso travel advisor, I am passionate about providing you with exclusive luxury and experiential travel experiences. With access to a leading network of agencies that specialize in luxury travel, I am dedicated to offering you VIP perks and benefits on hotels, cruise lines, tours, and more.

When you book with a Virtuoso advisor like myself, you can unlock a world of possibilities and enjoy a range of perks that are sure to exceed your expectations. From room upgrades to guaranteed late check-out, complimentary breakfast, and resort credits, you will experience luxury and personalized service like never before.

I understand that planning a trip can be overwhelming, which is why I'm here to help. I do charge a service fee for my expertise, like many travel professionals, but I want you to know that my ultimate goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible for you. The fees may vary depending on the complexity of your travel arrangements and the level of points/loyalty service you require.

Typically, my services start at $250 per trip, but please don't hesitate to reach out to me for a more detailed fee schedule tailored to your specific needs. I want to ensure that I'm providing a personalized service that takes into account factors such as your budget, mobility requirements, and desired level of luxury.

I want you to have a fantastic travel experience, and that's why I invest my time and expertise in researching and planning your trip. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you! :)
