Premium travel strategy · personally handled by David — The Plane Prince
The entire experience handled — flights, hotels, transfers, dining, experiences, and the itinerary that ties them together — with elite hotel benefits layered in through the right booking channel.
Preferred-channel bookings carry upgrade priority — and at several programs, the upgrade is confirmed at booking.
Subject to availabilityDining, spa, or the room — most programs include at least $100 to spend on property.
At most programsBreakfast included every morning — at some brands, even as room service at no charge.
Flexible check-in and check-out priority, so the first and last day still count.
Subject to availabilityBenefits vary by property, program, and rate — exactly what applies to your stay is confirmed in your proposal. Bookings are made directly with the hotel through preferred channels, so you keep your loyalty points and status.
Booked through the programs that matter
Each program page explains what the benefits are and how they reach your stay. Where a hotel has no dedicated program, Virtuoso covers it.
