Welcome to TP McCombs Travel
It looks like you’re interested in traveling in the near future. That’s wonderful…I’d love to help!
A bit about me and the services I offer – TP McCombs Travel is a boutique travel agency that is proud to be affiliated with Travel Experts and is a member of the exclusive Virtuoso Travel Network. This is a family business with over 55 years of experience in the travel industry. I book destinations world wide, specializing in customized private luxury trips as well as cruises and travel for special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, and family celebrations. This benefits you because I’m a life-long learner and keep up with the travel industry trends!
I’m very selective with the travel partners I use and only offer a product if I would use it myself, or offer it to my family. The products and services we offer are all vetted and offer a great value while providing an amazing travel experience.
I strive to work with clients by appointment whenever possible, by phone or in person, in order to focus fully on their trip and to respect their busy schedules. When I work with someone, we start off by having a complimentary 30-minute interview that allows me to get a feel for the type of travel they prefer and find out what kind of trip they are dreaming of. We will do some form of this before we start additional trips as every trip will have a different purpose and personality.
Because of the very high level of customization and service I offer, I charge a trip planning or management fee. Below is a list of the most common fees:
-
Domestic airline reservations and ticketing - $35 per ticket
-
International airline reservations and ticketing - $60 per ticket

Ticket Exchanges - $25 per ticket

Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
