You’re driving to the airport, filled with pre-trip butterflies. As you take your seat and buckle up, a quiet confidence puts you at ease. Everything has been expertly planned.

You’re ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Your AAA Travel Advisor made sure of it.

Successful trips hinge on planning the important details—and anticipating the what-ifs. Travel advisors are masters of taking care of vacation-planning necessities, freeing you to focus on fun.

Here are some of the reasons these pros are in hot demand, and why you’d be wise to let them take the guesswork out of your trip planning.

A great vacation is the sum of the experiences you have while away. Certified AAA Travel Advisors like Joy Haizel and Henry Muñoz are skilled at finding exactly what you’re looking for—whether that means identifying the right river cruise or offering ideas for ways you can save time and money.

Says Haizel, “When flights change, we can be proactive.”

And what about those ever-important questions, like what items to pack or what documentation you need? Muñoz explains that advisors are here to help and point you toward the right information.
