Start with the TripPlanner on airtreks.com - enter your cities and exact or rough dates, class of travel, and flexibility on travel dates. An AirTreks travel consultant builds a custom route and quote. You revise together until it's right, then book. The whole process takes an hour to a few weeks if you want to collaborate with friends, families and groups
It starts with your trip idea. You tell us where you want to go, roughly when, and how long you want to spend in each place on our tripplanner. You will see the range of pricing and a map. You can add overland sections and do as many versions of the trip as you would like. Don't worry about having every detail figured out. Most people come to us with a wish list and some flexible dates, and that's plenty to get started.
Your request goes to an AirTreks travel consultant, a real person who specializes in complex international routing. They'll build a custom itinerary based on your destinations, dates, and budget. This involves checking airline availability across dozens of carriers, finding the most efficient routing, and constructing a fare that takes advantage of pricing rules most travelers don't know exist. The more information you provide regarding your wants and needs - the better we can meet them!
You'll receive your first quote within 1 business day or less. It includes a full route map, flight details for every segment, the total price with all taxes and fees included, and notes from your consultant explaining the routing choices.
From there, it's a conversation. Want to swap Kuala Lumpur for Singapore? Add a stop in Reykjavik on the way home? Extend your time in Peru from 5 days to 10? Your consultant adjusts the route and reprices. Most itineraries go through 2 to 3 revisions before they feel right.
When you're ready to book, you put down a deposit and your consultant locks in the fares. Full payment is due before ticketing, which happens after payment. After ticketing, you receive complete itinerary documents with confirmation numbers for every flight.
The human element is what separates AirTreks from online booking engines. An algorithm shows you what's cheapest today even if that flight is not available. A consultant knows that a Tuesday departure may saves you $400, that connecting through Doha instead of Dubai on that particular route is more reliable, and that the afternoon flight to Bali lands at a better time than the red-eye. That expertise compounds across 6 to 10 flights into real confidence and a better trip.
