Luxury Vacations
MEMBERS ONLY ACCESS
Our business hours are generally from Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. For after hours inquiries, please email Sandra at woodtravel2017@hotmail.com and we will respond by the next business day.
I feel that transparency is important in my business operations. The cost of using a travel agent seems to be the biggest question my clients have, and most of what I do have no fees for service. I believe in making my expertise available to all who wish to benefit from my experience and education. However, there are a few instances when I do need to charge a fee prior to starting a file:
1. When you call Wood Travel I will refer to my client files to see if I have done work for you in the past. If I have, and that particular booking was not confirmed, there will be a non-refundable fee required prior to a file being created. ($150 via e-transfer, cash or personal cheque).
2. For customized or single-component bookings (see Customized itineraries)
​
​
Why should you work with Wood Travel? First, it is my passion (& career!) to know all things travel! When I am not in my office busy at work planning trips abroad for my clients, I am either traveling to gain first hand experience of the destinations my clients are dreaming about, or taking classes to learn yet even more! I will handle the paperwork, offer payment plans, advise on regulations, insurance and visa requirements, and entry requirements, and will keep you well-informed every step of the way!
​
I'm a 'Dutch girl', so it's in my blood to treat your money as if it were my own. I am dedicated to finding you the lowest price possible for your vacation and can discuss options with you that you may not have considered. I request upgrades where available and I do not charge a fee to book all-inclusive resorts (one of the most popular options for bookings). My agent resources can assist in finding the perfect resort for you - while most times costing you less than when you book direct! And finally, I am traveling with you (so to speak!) as I will give you my direct line to text or call, email, or message on social media, in the event you need anything while you're away. There is no charge for that kind of peace-of-mind!
Sometimes surprises are not a good thing!
