WHAT IS IT LIKE TO TRAVEL WITH MY NATIVE?
Frequently Asked Questions
-
There's a misconception that booking a holiday through a travel agent equates to a more expensive trip. With me, this isn’t the case. As a small company, I have fewer overheads. This means that I don’t need to charge lofty premiums for my expertise, unlike larger luxury agencies. What’s more, by booking with me, you may actually get more for your money. I have preferred contracts with hotels, which means the rate will be the same or cheaper than booking direct, and may also include perks such as massages, food & beverage credit, and airport transfers.

I always recommend having comprehensive travel insurance, as you never know what’s around the corner. I am as flexible as my partners are, as I need to work to their booking terms on changes & cancellations. However, I’ll always aim to be as accommodating as I can be.
-
Of course! Many of you have points with airlines that you are keen to use.
The benefit of booking with me is that I can hold the fare for you and guarantee it until the ticketing deadline (typically 2-3 months before you travel). Also, if & when there are flight schedule changes, I can sort everything out for you, rebook you on a new flight, ensure a smooth transition on arrival or with connecting flights, and process any refunds with the airline.

Yes, a lot! Skiing is a firm family favourite at My Native, and I've tried & tested a fair few European resorts from slopeside hotels in Sweden to chalets and spacious family suites in the Three Valleys. I have a vast experience of booking villas, and work with a handful of trusted villa operators across the world.
-
Yes, I do, from far-flung adventures in the rainforests of Borneo and island escapes in the Indian Ocean to dog-sledding in Finnish Lapland and your own fully-hosted beach villa in Sri Lanka. I have an extensive network of trusted partners across the world, and know who to entrust your holiday to.
