International Travel Design · The Away Team

International trips, designed with intent.

The $500 International Travel Design planning fee starts your engagement with The Away Team. It is a starting planning fee for a design engagement — not a single call — and it is separate from the cost of your trip.

Who it's for

Travelers ready to begin the design.

This service fits best when you already have:

  • ·Your destination, or a shortlist of destinations
  • ·The purpose of the trip
  • ·Expected timing or travel dates
  • ·A realistic budget
  • ·Your traveler count
  • ·Key preferences and priorities

If you're still deciding where or whether to go, you can inquire for guidance on the right next step. The optional Travel Clarity Session is a separate paid advisory service, not a prerequisite for Travel Design.

What's included

The starting planning fee.

  • ·Strategy intake
  • ·A dedicated design & review meeting
  • ·Multi-stop routing
  • ·Lodging & experience recommendations
  • ·Entry and document checklist
  • ·Trip support only as separately agreed for your engagement

Lodging and experience recommendations do not by themselves include booking or concierge services. Any booking responsibilities are defined in your agreed engagement scope.

Fees

Planning fees and trip costs are separate.

The $500 planning fee covers The Away Team's design work. Flights, hotels, cruises, tours, transfers, and other supplier costs are paid separately.

Larger or more complex trips may require additional planning fees. The Away Team will discuss and agree any additional scope and fees with you before further work begins.

Support & refunds

The terms, plainly.

Consultations are by appointment. Trip-support arrangements, including availability and response expectations, are agreed separately for each engagement. Miles Away staff attendance is included only when expressly agreed; supplier assistance does not mean Miles Away staff attendance. Miles Away is not a replacement for emergency services, airlines, hotels, travel insurance providers, or supplier support lines.

Planning fees are non-refundable once work begins. See the full cancellation & refund policy and terms.

After payment

What happens next.

Payment is processed securely by Stripe, which emails your receipt. The Away Team then contacts you at the email used at checkout to begin your strategy intake and schedule your design & review meeting.
