VACATION PLANNING SERVICE

In order to perform the professional services required to design and arrange your travel request, a non-refundable deposit is required. Vacation planning involves a great deal of time. Our work is based on years of personal experience and professional expertise. We research cruises, hotels, tours, flights and activities to meet your specific needs, contact suppliers, coordinate transportation, draft itineraries and more. We provide itineraries, vacation plans and bespoke creations that give travelers peace of mind and tremendous time savings.

Once Miles of Melanin has constructed your itinerary, you are free to shop it on the Internet, or wherever you would like. If you choose not to book through Miles of Melanin for any reason (decided not to go, booked elsewhere, was just shopping, etc.), then the Plan to Go Deposit will be retained by Miles of Melanin as payment for services rendered. This plan to go fee is valid for 30 days. Otherwise, we will consider the request cancelled. If you reconvene anytime thereafter, a new Plan to Go fee will be due.

RESEARCH/CONSULTATION FEES

Once we have collected your Plan to Go fee and you have filled out the initial questionnaire/consultation under the PLAN MY TRIP section of our site, the process of designing your travel plans will begin. Please be sure to include all details in that form because we will charge $25 for any additional requests, changes, alterations, etc initiated by you per incident. We do our best to listen and communicate your needs thoroughly during the initial questionnaire/consultation to minimize the need for changes. However, we understand your needs may change or dates may need altered, etc. Please note: We will not charge you for changes not initiated by you such as changes initiated by Miles of Melanin, suppliers, or force majeure. Research fees are NOT applied to your final balance.
