SHORT NOTICE · WELL PLANNED

A Palo Alto travel agent who works around your calendar.

If you live in Crescent Park, Old Palo Alto or Professorville, your time off is usually decided late and guarded hard. A week opens up after a launch, or spring break lines up with a quiet quarter, and the trip has to come together fast.

That is most of what we do for Palo Alto clients. We hold options early on the hotels that fill first, like the right villa in Maui or a ryokan in Kyoto, so when your dates firm up there is something good to confirm. You work directly with Justin the whole way.

PALO ALTO, DOOR TO DOOR

The local details we plan around

Getting out of the Peninsula well takes local judgment. Which airport, what time to leave and what to hold before the dates are final.

Long haul

SFO for Asia and Europe

SFO has the nonstops to Tokyo, Singapore, London and most of Europe. We time the car so you are not sitting on 101 at five, and plan the arrival on the other end just as carefully.

Closer and calmer

San Jose for Hawaii and Mexico

San Jose is often quicker for Hawaii, Mexico and many domestic trips. We compare both airports on every trip and pick by schedule, not habit.

Private aviation

San Jose, Palo Alto and San Carlos

Most private jets use the private terminals at San Jose, while smaller aircraft can use Palo Alto or San Carlos. We match the airport to the aircraft and the route.

Holds and timing

Options held before dates are final

For holiday weeks and spring break, we hold the right rooms early and release what you do not need. Two weeks out is workable for most places outside the peak weeks.

WHY WORK WITH JUSTIN

Why Palo Alto clients work with Justin

Justin has planned luxury travel since 2011. He works with Palo Alto founders, executives and families by phone, text and email, and he stays involved from the first conversation through the flight home.

The value is continuity. One advisor who already knows the travelers, the assistants and the preferences, and who handles the change when a board meeting moves or a flight is cancelled. Justkeeps Travel is based in Boca Raton, so the East Coast morning is already working on your trip before the Peninsula wakes up.

CLEAR ANSWERS

How to choose the best travel agent in Palo Alto

Questions from Palo Alto clients

How do I choose the best travel agent in Palo Alto?

Choose an advisor who can work around launches, board schedules, school breaks and dates that may move. Justkeeps Travel is IATAN accredited, registered as Florida Seller of Travel ST150047, and has planned luxury travel since 2011. You work directly with Justin from the first call until you are home.

Should I fly out of SFO or San Jose?

SFO for most long haul flights, and San Jose for Hawaii, Mexico and many domestic trips. San Jose is often closer and calmer from Palo Alto, so we compare both airports on every trip.

Can you arrange private flights from the Peninsula?

Yes. Most private jets use the private terminals at San Jose, while smaller aircraft can use Palo Alto or San Carlos. We match the airport to the aircraft, the route and the drive.

Can you plan a trip on short notice?

Yes. Two weeks out is workable for most places outside the holiday weeks. We keep a short list of hotels that suit you and check them first, so you are not starting from zero.

How do you plan around launches and board meetings?

We hold flexible options early and confirm when the dates firm up. When a week opens after a launch, there is already something good ready to book.

When should we book spring break?

Book spring break by early winter for Hawaii and Mexico, and earlier for the best villas. Family friendly rooms in Maui and Cabo go first. Read our Maui guide.

What is the best time to visit Japan from Palo Alto?

Spring and fall are the best seasons for Kyoto, and also the busiest. We book those weeks months ahead and plan temple visits early in the day. Read our Kyoto guide.

Can you handle business travel too?

Yes. We plan executive and team travel alongside family trips, so one advisor knows your preferences whether you are going to a board meeting or a beach. See executive travel.

Do I need a travel advisor who lives in Palo Alto?

No. What matters is fast answers, good judgment and strong relationships with the hotels you use. Justin works with Bay Area clients by phone, text and email from Boca Raton, so the East Coast morning is often working on your trip before the Peninsula wakes up.

How much does a luxury travel advisor in Palo Alto cost?

Planning fees are set by scope and confirmed before any planning begins. Many hotel, resort and cruise bookings carry no planning fee, and air only tickets are $35 domestic or $50 international. Read what a luxury travel advisor costs.
