Travel Process
I’m Nicole Schaub, owner of Fun and Leisure Travels. I help you plan a seamless, stress-free trip—from the first idea to your arrival back home. Here’s how we’ll work together and what you can expect.
How it works
-
Dream & Discover – Share your vision, wishlist, must-haves, dates, and budget.
-
Design Fee & Research – Once the one-time design fee is paid, I complete pre-research and send curated options.
-
Customize Together – We refine the itinerary until it’s perfect.
-
Book & Confirm – I handle flights, resort, transfers, and activities.
-
Travel with Confidence – I’m available 24/7 while you’re away.
What the Design Fee includes
-
Pre-research + curated trip options
-
Booking of flights, resort, transfers, and activities
-
Seat choices when applicable
-
Mobile app with your complete itinerary
-
Curated tour/excursion links + booking support
-
24/7 availability while you travel
-
Travel insurance help, including claims support if needed
One-time, lifetime fee (for new clients)
I charge this once for new clients—then you’re covered for life, with only rare exceptions (for example, a large/complex group trip like 20 people to Egypt may require a special project fee).
Cancellation fee: If you book and later cancel, a cancellation fee applies. Travel advisors are paid by suppliers after clients travel, so this covers time already invested.
How I get paid
-
Your one-time design fee (unbiased planning + professional time).
-
Air-only bookings
-$50 per person for domestic flights
-$100 per person for international flights
-
Individuals, couples, and small families: $100 consultant fee
-This is for trips that require 4 rooms or less
-
Larger families, groups, or extensive itineraries: $100 or more consultant fee
-This will depend on the type of trip and the number of people traveling. This fee would be discussed and agreed upon by both parties before research is started.
-
Pick my brain fee- $50 consultant fee
- This is to schedule a call just to ask questions when you still would like to book yourself.
-
Supplier commissions (when applicable). Not all suppliers pay commission; the fee ensures recommendations are based on what’s best for you.
What you can expect from me
-
Personalized planning & insider value
-
Transparent pricing—no hidden costs
-
Proactive communication and support
-
Care before, during, and after travel
