How to get VIP Perks on Your Next Vacation
At a Glance
Learn what it really means to travel like a VIP—from exclusive hotel perks and private experiences to the seamless, personalized service that only a luxury travel advisor can provide.
What does it really mean to “travel like a VIP”? For many, it’s about access—getting the best rooms, insider experiences, and personal touches that make a trip feel effortless. But true VIP travel is about more than perks. It’s about having someone who knows you, anticipates your needs, and turns your vacation into something unforgettable.
In this post, discover what it means to travel like a VIP with a luxury travel advisor—what’s included, how it works, and why it makes all the difference.
What Does “VIP Travel” Actually Mean?
The term “VIP” often brings to mind upgrades and champagne on arrival—and yes, those are wonderful. But genuine VIP travel goes deeper. It’s about thoughtful design, strategic relationships, and seamless execution from start to finish.
With a professional advisor, your trip becomes curated around what matters most to you—whether that’s slow mornings in nature, dining at the world’s best restaurants, or making family memories without stress.
💡 Milk + Honey Insight: We don’t believe in cookie-cutter luxury. We believe in understanding you—your style, your pace, your version of a perfect day.
The Real Perks of Working with a Luxury Travel Advisor
1. Access to VIP Amenities at the World’s Best Hotels
Through our preferred partnerships—including Virtuoso, Four Seasons Preferred, and Belmond Bellini Club—clients receive complimentary perks such as:
Daily breakfast for two
Hotel or resort credits
Priority upgrades and early check-in/late check-out (when available)
Special welcome amenities or personalized touches
💡 Example: That complimentary bottle of wine or guaranteed upgrade at check-in? It’s not luck—it’s a result of trusted relationships and strategic bookings.
2. Personalized Itinerary Design
VIP travel is never one-size-fits-all. A great itinerary should feel like it was made just for you—because it was.
At Milk + Honey Travels, we combine firsthand experience with deep destination knowledge to create trips that balance rest, adventure, and discovery. We handle the details—from transfers to tours—so you can simply enjoy.
What this includes:
Tailored recommendations for dining, activities, and wellness
Private guides and exclusive access to experiences not found online
Thoughtful pacing to avoid burnout and maximize enjoyment
3. Elevated Support Before, During, and After Travel
When you work with a travel advisor, you’re never navigating on your own.
Before your trip: We handle research, bookings, and logistics.
During your trip: Our local partners and in-country contacts ensure everything runs smoothly.
After your trip: We follow up for feedback and celebrate your memories with you.
💡 Client Story: A family traveling to Italy found their flight canceled mid-trip. Within 20 minutes, our team rebooked new flights and transfers so they never missed a moment. That’s VIP service.
4. Insider Connections and Exclusive Experiences
Advisors maintain close relationships with hoteliers, guides, and destination experts around the world. This means your trip comes with insider knowledge—and sometimes, special treatment.
Examples:
A private after-hours tour of the Vatican.
A personal driver in Provence who knows every hidden village.
A chef-led market tour and cooking class in Marrakech.
VIP travel is less about status and more about access to the extraordinary.
5. Peace of Mind, Always
Perhaps the greatest luxury of all is peace of mind. With a travel advisor, you have a professional handling every moving part.
You don’t have to:
Compare hundreds of hotels online.
Call airlines at 3 a.m. if something changes.
Wonder whether you’re missing something important.
Your only job? To show up and enjoy.
