Do luxury travel advisors arrange private jets and helicopters?

Yes. A luxury travel advisor arranges private aviation — jets and helicopter transfers — alongside chauffeured ground transport, coordinating timings and transfers so the entire door-to-door journey is seamless.

Is concierge service available 24/7 during the trip?

Yes. Forest Travel clients have a dedicated advisor and concierge support throughout the journey, handling reservations, experiences and any real-time changes while they travel.

Do I have to coordinate with drivers, hotels and restaurants myself?

No. Your advisor manages every vendor and reservation on your behalf; you have a single point of contact for the whole trip.

What makes advisor-arranged transport different from booking online?

Access. Advisors secure vetted drivers, private transfers and reservations through direct relationships — arrangements that booking platforms cannot offer. See why an advisor beats booking online: /why-forest/.

Are the driver and the guide the same person?

Usually not, and it matters. A driver knows the roads and the traffic; a guide knows the site, the history and which room to enter first. On a full day we normally arrange both, so the guide is free to walk with you rather than park the car. Where a single English- or Spanish-speaking driver-guide is genuinely the better option, we will say so.

Can transport be arranged for a large family group?

Yes, and it is worth planning early. Beyond about six travellers the vehicle choice narrows sharply in most destinations, and the difference between two comfortable vehicles and one cramped van is the whole day. We size the transport to the party and the luggage rather than to the headcount alone.

What happens if a driver does not show up?

You call your advisor, not the local supplier. We reach the operator directly, put a replacement on the way and tell whoever is waiting at the other end that you are running late. Because the booking is ours, we can escalate to the operator's owner rather than a dispatch queue — and support runs 24/7 for the length of the trip.

Private Transportation & Concierge: How Luxury Travel Advisors Handle Every Detail

Luxury travel advisors handle private transportation and concierge services by orchestrating everything through one dedicated advisor: private jets and helicopters, chauffeured cars, seamless airport and yacht transfers, and a 24/7 concierge who manages reservations, requests and changes for the entire journey — so the traveler never coordinates a single vendor.

What “private transportation and concierge” actually covers

For a high-net-worth traveler, transportation is not a booking line item — it is the connective tissue of the whole journey. A luxury travel advisor arranges private aviation (jets and helicopters), chauffeured vehicles with vetted drivers, and every transfer in between: airport meet-and-greet and fast-track, transfers to a private yacht or villa, scenic rail, and inter-city connections. Concierge covers the rest — restaurant reservations that are otherwise impossible to secure, private guides, spa and wellness bookings, tickets and access, and any change the traveler wants once the trip is underway.

How a dedicated advisor orchestrates it

At Forest Travel, a single dedicated advisor designs and owns the entire logistical chain, so the traveler coordinates with one person rather than a dozen suppliers. Every movement is sequenced before departure — flight timings, ground transport, transfer windows, and reservations — then monitored on the ground so a delayed flight or a spontaneous change is absorbed without the client lifting a finger. This is the opposite of a self-service booking site: it is human orchestration built on four decades of relationships across 120+ countries.

Access you cannot search or book

The value of an advisor is access, not availability. Because our advisors work directly with the finest luxury hotels, private-aviation partners, and on-the-ground fixers, they secure after-hours cultural access, off-market villas, and the kind of car-and-driver arrangements that never appear on a website. Meet the in-house advisory team — including Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialists — who make these arrangements personally.

What it looks like on your trip

You land, and a chauffeur is waiting; a table that “doesn’t exist” is confirmed; a helicopter transfer replaces a three-hour drive; and if plans change at 10pm, one message to your advisor is all it takes. Begin a private consultation to see how your own journey would be arranged — no quotes, no obligation.

Premium transport, orchestrated

Private aviation — jets and helicopter transfers that replace long drives.
Yacht & boat transfers — seamless connections to private islands and coastlines.
Chauffeured cars — vetted drivers, meet-and-greet and airport fast-track.
Multi-service coordination — every leg sequenced so the day flows.

When plans change: rapid rebooking

A delayed flight or a spontaneous change is handled by your advisor and concierge — with 24/7 responsiveness and rapid rebooking through relationships, so you never sit on hold.
