Layaway Vacation Plans Do Work
We are contacted constantly by clients who are interested in activating a layaway vacation plan.
And for those who need time to complete all the necessary payments involved in their vacation
selection because they are feeling the crunch of today's economy, this is the VERY BEST way to make a
vacation purchase.
Our Layaway vacation plan is a service we offer to our clients that allows them to spread out
the total payments necessary for a cruise, land tour, or all inclusive package vacation. We are not
a bank, so we do not lend money out. We also do not add any additional dollar amount to your
purchase up front, if you elect this payment option. If all the payments are completed and
your purchase is paid completely there is no cost to the service at all. The only time we
assess any fee in conjunction with our layaway service is if you start the plan and do not
complete it for travel. In that case we will keep $25 per person of your initial deposit
to cover the time and service we have given to you during your participation in the plan.
All other payments will be refundable to you according to the rules of the vendor we will
be working with to purchase your vacation. Should they have any cancellation fees we must
apply them, but we will also make you aware of any fees the vendor will enforce before they
can become an issue. Our goal is to make travel easy and possible for as many of our clients
as possible. It is not about collecting fees. Over the years we know this service has
helped thousands.
Layaway travel is most easily put together when the traveler is looking to take a cruise vacation.
The major cruise lines make their schedules available to the traveling public much further in
advance than do the hotels and package vendors. Layaway vacation plans can still be put together
for land travel and packages but where we can price cruises with certainty a good `12-15 months
in advance, we will only have land availability 9-12 months in advance in general. The prices for
airline tickets are the least favorable for layaway vacation planning. The airlines do not make
their prices available to the traveling public until 12 months in advance, but worse, many times
they require full payment at time of reservation, and will not allow any payment plan at all.
Still when a layaway vacation is put together you will be amazed at how easy it is to keep a yearly
vacation in your plans. And now more than ever, we all need the valuable 'down' time a vacation
brings to us.
The best way to see if you can apply a layaway plan to the trip you desire is to some shopping on our
website via a Cruise Search, Land Search, or an All-Inclusive Package Search. Once you have made a
selection, complete and send us a Travel Request Form. The key is to give yourself at least 7-10 months
from the start of the plan until you expect to travel. We will do our best to help you realize
your dream vacation!
