It’s elf season! Even if you do not have one of Santa’s helpers at home, most likely you know someone who does. He, or she, stays out of the way, but really comes in handy when a reminder that they are “always watching” becomes necessary. The fact that they are always keeping an eye out for potential upsets made me think that perhaps in some way, using a travel professional is a bit like having your own “Elf on the Shelf”
Here are the top 3 similarities I came up with:
#1 – We are always keeping an eye out for you when you travel, and even before you depart. With constant changes in Covid-19 protocols, regulations and requirements there is something new every week, if not every day. We also continue to monitor supplier updates and air schedules, as appropriate.
#2 – Since we are always on the lookout, we can avoid some problems before they even arise, others can be worked out accordingly. Perhaps your flights have been delayed or cancelled? Often times we care monitoring your flights and working on a solution before you are even aware of the problem. It is not unusual for us to contact a client with a solution while they are still in the customer service line at the airport.
#3 – We have some really great connections! While the “Elf on the Shelf” may have a direct line to Santa that we don’t, we have built relationships with the general managers of some of the finest hotels and resorts around the World, cruise line executives, on site concierge managers and of course our private tour guides. With these connections there are special touches behind the scenes that you benefit from each time you travel with Slaydon’s.
We hope you and your loved ones have a safe and simple holiday season, we will be here to look out for you when the time is right to take that 2021 or 2022 vacation you’ve been dreaming about all year.
Throughout the Winter season, due to the rise in community spread of Covid-19, we will be meeting clients through phone or zoom appointments only. Please do not hesitate to reach out at any time to schedule your appointment.
