Dream...
The travel consultants currently employed at AirTreks have a vast pool of travel experience. Today we start a new series entitled “Your Agent’s Dream Trip” conceived to bring the readers of this blog planning suggestions and possibly some dreams of their own.
The question was put to the travel consultants, “without having to state your reasons, and if cost was of no importance, what would be your dream around-the-world trip in 10 stops or less.”

So where do you start?
One of the most important and stress-inducing aspects of any major excursion is where to sleep while on the road. It can be argued that, next to setting up the route, this is the most important part of the planning process, because the sun will eventually set and when it does, you’ll need a bed on which to lay your head.

While AirTreks does not officially book hotels we do have opinions about the matter due to its high importance to the success of an extended trip. Here are some observations on the pre- and post-departure booking methods:
So you’re planning your around the world adventure and wondering, “Should I get all my tickets before I leave or will I be okay to purchase them as I’m traveling?” It’s a question we get a lot so I’ll try to dispel the rumors.
