About James
My passion for airlines started approximately 25 years ago when I pleaded with my parents to take me to the airport so I could watch a number of commercial aircrafts arrive and depart.
After 24 years working within the travel industry, 9 year's with a major retail and corporate travel agency group I joined MTA Travel, so now more than ever I am able to focus on what I love … looking after you. Just as you most likely have a doctor, a hairdresser or a personal trainer you trust, you now also have a personal travel advisor that you can trust!
My typical client is well traveled, very particular and happy to throw at me the weirdest itinerary or last minute business travel requests, knowing that I will always deliver the most comfortable way for them to reach their destination.
I am extremely savvy about airfares and aircrafts and will always find you a very well priced fare with the best connections so you still feel human on arrival, which is so important if you need to hit the ground running with business meetings.
I pride myself on understanding your needs, my responsiveness because I know time is money, and my personal service. Whether you're off to Europe on business, or a holiday to Southern America, I can help you and offer:
Extensive knowledge on airlines and routes, and how to avoid connection problems
Sourcing competitive fares in all classes
Solutions for tricky travel itineraries and time constraints
Mainstream and boutique accommodation options
Cruises
Group tours
After hour assistance
One point of contact and personalised service
Assistance with visas, travel insurance, transfers, car hire
Leisure experiences to complement a business itinerary
I'll make your travel the way it should be … easy!
As a personal travel advisor I'm based in the Doreen, Mernda area and can come to you or meet you at a local coffee shop. Or am equally happy to organise everything by phone and email, particularly if you live elsewhere in Australia.
Previous experience
I worked for a number of travel companies, Ansett Australia, Malta Travel, Heidelberg Travel, Flight Centre, Harvey World Travel, Independent Travel Group, Travelstream & most recently working as a Mobile Travel Agent with Experience Travel.
