Frequently Asked Questions

Can you get me a “good deal”?

Maybe. But a “good deal” is often code for “bottom-dollar price.” And that’s not our focus at Anthology (because, all too often, you get what you pay for—or don’t pay for).

Instead, we focus on providing you the best value—ensuring your money gets you the absolute best travel experience possible. If you’re on a tight budget—or just love the thrill of the deal hunt!—you’d be better served by Expedia or Costco Travel.  

Can you provide me with a price breakdown on my itinerary?

It depends. If we work with one of my supplier partners, you’ll often just see one price for the entire trip. That’s because they have relationships and arrangements with their own service providers that are private and confidential—we don’t have access to the price breakdown, so we can’t pass that on to you.

If price transparency is really important to you, then we’ll suggest you work directly with us to handcraft your itinerary. That way, we can provide you with a menu of priced-out options (though this may limit where you go—we’ll only handcraft the trip if both the destination and client approach are a fit for that).

Do you book AirBnB or rentals?

We do not work with AirBnB or VRBO. But - great news! - we can find you a luxury rental just about anywhere in the world, so don’t hesitate to reach out if that’s what you need.

Can you book JUST part of my trip?

Generally, no. We don’t want this to end up being a piecemeal process; that creates more work and confusion for you, and we want to ensure the quality of every part of your trip.

 The only exception to this is flights. If you’d like to book your flights on your own, so you can use rewards points, that’s fine. We’ll work with you to make sure you’re booking a flight time that fits with your itinerary. We’ll just point out that our contracted air rates can often save you thousands, so you might be better off saving those points for a different trip.

When should we start planning my trip?

We need a minimum of two months lead-time to put together your itinerary. Six-to-eight months is even better, to get you access to the best availability and pricing.

 For bucket-list type trips—think a safari in Africa or trip to Australia—at least a 9-to-12 month lead-time is ideal; those incredible experiences book up quickly.
