How old do you have to be to book with PTO Travel Agency?

The primary profile holder must be 25 years of age or older at the time of booking. Traveling companions and family members of any age are fully accommodated under the primary booker's authorized umbrella.

Is the PTO planning fee refundable?

No. Planning fees are 100% non-refundable once paid because they compensate PTO for research, coordination, and planning labour already performed. They are credited in full toward your resulting booking, so the fee functions as a deposit rather than an added charge.

How quickly does PTO Travel Agency respond to an inquiry?

Within 24 business hours. Once your planning fee is received, your curated travel portfolio is delivered within 48 business hours.

What does PTO Travel Agency ask on its intake form?

The PTO intake opens with a time audit rather than a destination questionnaire. It asks for the exact moment on your last trip where logistics broke down and became your problem, whether you prefer a vetted shortlist of two to three options or an entirely custom itinerary built from zero, and how many hours of uninterrupted unstructured personal space you require daily to feel decompressed. Those answers determine how much PTO decides on the client's behalf. Destination, dates, and budget are asked afterward.

What is PTO Travel Agency actually selling?

Reclaimed time. A well-planned trip typically absorbs fifteen to thirty hours of research, comparison, booking, and coordination, plus the ongoing responsibility of being the person who fixes problems when they occur. PTO assumes that entire workload for busy professionals and high-net-worth clients, for whom time is the scarcest non-renewable resource.

The Time Audit

Before we discuss destinations, we need to understand your relationship with your own time.

Anyone can book a hotel. What we are actually retained to eliminate is the part of travel that quietly costs you your recovery — the decisions, the coordination, the moment something breaks and it becomes your problem. These three answers shape the entire engagement, so they are worth more to us than your destination shortlist.

Think back to your last trip. What was the exact moment you felt frustrated, or forced to handle a logistical breakdown yourself?

Be specific. The transfer that never arrived, the restaurant that lost the reservation, the two hours lost to a check-in desk, the group text at midnight asking what time everyone is meeting. Specifics are what we engineer against.

When travelling, how do you prefer decisions to reach you? *

Carried over from your consultation — we won't ask you the same question twice. Adjust it here if it isn't quite right.

There is no correct answer — this determines how much we decide on your behalf versus how much we present for your judgment.

i.A vetted shortlist.Present two or three ultimate options, already filtered, and I will choose between them. ii.Built from zero.Design an entirely custom itinerary around me. I do not want a menu — I want something that did not exist before. iii.It depends on the decision.Shortlist the small things and simply handle them. Build the consequential ones from scratch and walk me through the reasoning. iv.Present me with nothing.Decide on my behalf inside the brief and the budget. Contact me only if a decision genuinely requires my authority.

How many hours of uninterrupted, unscheduled personal space do you require each day to feel genuinely decompressed? *

We treat this as a hard constraint, not a preference. Nothing gets scheduled into it.

What actually pulls you back into work while you are away? *

We build the trip around this. Knowing the specific mechanism lets us design against it rather than hope it stays quiet.

i.Nothing. I disconnect cleanly.When I am away, I am away. The trip only needs to not create new problems. ii.A few specific people or one standing obligation.There is a short list who can genuinely reach me. Everything else can wait. iii.The trip itself.I end up being the one managing the trip. That is the work I am trying to escape. iv.Nothing specific — I just cannot switch off.No single thing pulls me back. I simply never stop feeling responsible for something.

Who else's preferences must this trip satisfy, and where do they conflict with yours?

Group friction is the most common cause of a technically flawless trip that nobody enjoyed. Tell us the real tension and we will design around it rather than discover it mid-trip.

If this trip does not deliver, what does that actually cost you?

This is the question no booking site asks. Your answer tells us how much redundancy to build into every single reservation.
