Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do you require a deposit for this service?

Researching and planning itineraries of this nature is extremely labour intensive and will take our travel guru many hours. Whilst you are not committed to any booking, we do need to ensure this unique service is not abused. If you go ahead with your booking, this deposit is fully redeemable against any other cost.

What happens to my deposit if I end up not making a booking?

Should your circumstances change and you end up not making a booking, 50% of your deposit will be available towards any future booking fee with Propeller Travel for one year from the date of purchase.

How is this service different from your regular service?

When you book a ticket through Propeller Travel, we will book and optimise your itinerary based on the factors that are important to you (schedule, alliance, cost etc). With our complex booking service, we would book any itinerary you provide us from ITA Farematrix, google flights and other similar tools.

ISTflyer’s trip planning service is different. Here, you tell us what goals you are trying to achieve (for example, “My BA gold expires at the end of May, and I have to fly 1200 Tier Points to renew it. I can only fly in March for up to 6 days starting on a Friday, and I’m looking for the most economical way to achieve this”.)

We would then work with you collaboratively and suggest options to get you to your goal, from planning to trip support.
