FAQs

How is a luxury travel advisor different from a travel agent? A travel agent executes your instructions. A luxury travel advisor anticipates them — researching destinations, selecting properties, and designing itineraries with the kind of depth that only comes from experience and trusted relationships. At Lois & James, a deliberately limited client roster means every journey gets our complete attention.

What does the Virtuoso affiliation mean for my trip? As an advisor affiliated with Departure Lounge, a Virtuoso member agency, Lois & James clients receive exclusive benefits at more than 2,200 of the world's finest hotels — including complimentary room upgrades, daily breakfast, early check-in, late checkout, and property credits. These amenities are not available when booking directly or through non-affiliated advisors.

What types of trips do you specialize in? Lois & James specializes in luxury family travel and multi-generational trips, women's getaways and celebrations, men's golf retreats, and hosted small-group experiences. We also design bespoke itineraries for couples and individuals who value elevated, thoughtfully planned travel.
