Tim & Jan’s Story:
Checking All The Boxes

Jan wanted to surprise Tim for his 70th with a special family vacation that was both restful for the adults, and adventurous for the grandkids. We proposed a home in the Turks & Caicos – where the adults enjoyed the view from the porch, while the grandkids snorkeled off the beach. We also arranged private airport escort, cook, butler, babysitters, and even the birthday cake!

Vacation Travel FAQs

Why Sequel?

Our advisors love travel. They live it. And they have the strong vendor relationships, experience and knowledge to avoid common pitfalls and help craft the perfect vacation. Their above-and-beyond dedication to service often leads to upgrades and VIP experiences that aren’t always accessible to the public.

Do you only plan luxury travel?

Our skilled advisors arrange high-quality experiences that ensure thoughtfulness and attention to detail for each and every one of our travelers. Focusing on these higher-end experiences allows us to confidently vet and recommend options that won’t disappoint.

What does it cost to work with Sequel?

We are compensated in two ways: planning fees from customers and commissions paid by our vendor partners. We have long-term clientele who trust us to recommend the best options for themselves and their families. Click here to get more details about fees and expected trip costs.

How far in advance should I start planning?

For exclusive destinations, especially during peak travel times, plan 12-15 months ahead. Earlier decisions secure desired hotels, tours and flight schedules that are often released 330 days out. As a general rule, the earlier the better—especially for milestones/celebrations and popular destinations.

Should I purchase travel insurance?

We do recommend you protect your next chapter of travel with travel insurance. This way, you’re covered for any trip cancellation, interruption, medical emergencies, lost luggage and more. Our wide selection of policies ensures you can choose the best fit for your unique needs and travel plans.

Do you offer travel packages?

Definitely! We love bundling items and removing the stress of travel planning for our clients. We have access to a wide range of travel partners to deliver you everything from airline itineraries and hotels to excursions, trains, ferry transfers, pre- and post-cruise accommodations, etc.

Do I need to work with Sequel for every aspect of my trip?

We’re dedicated to helping make your journey a seamless experience in whatever way we can. But, if you’ve booked flights on points and just need a hotel, we’re here to find your perfect spot. For travelers seeking tour recommendations without booking flights or hotels with us, we offer preferred websites, prioritizing high-touch service for comprehensive travel plans.
