Which Membership Tier Fits How You Travel?

The right tier is not about spending the most. It is about matching the support to how often, and how complicated, your flying really is.

Membership is worth it when you fly often enough, or face enough complexity, that having travel support on standby beats arranging it trip by trip. The wrong question is "which is the most premium". The right question is "which one matches how I actually travel". Pay for more than you need and it is waste; pay for less and you are back to scrambling when a trip turns awkward.

How the tiers map to real travellers

Without getting into the fine print, the tiers line up roughly like this:

  • The occasional flyer who wants a waived planning fee and a lower concierge fee when they do travel
  • The regular traveller, a few trips a year, who wants priority and steadier support
  • The frequent or complex flyer, whose journeys often involve connections, groups or mixed passports, and who values the lowest concierge fee and the fullest support
  • The whole household, where one membership should cover several family members travelling under one roof
  • Organisations, where travel is for a team or ministry and needs a tailored arrangement

Across the tiers, the pattern is consistent: the more you fly, the more it makes sense to move up, because the planning fee is waived and the concierge fee steps down as the tier rises. The detailed figures live on the membership page, where they stay current.

Let the check do the matching

Rather than guess, the membership check asks how often you fly, who travels with you and what kind of trips you take, and points you to the tier that fits. You can always move up or down later, so the aim is simply to start in the right place.

And the care taken to match you honestly, rather than nudge you to the dearest option, is the same care we bring to your journeys: the right fit first, and the support actually there when a trip needs it.

This is general guidance. Tier details and fees are set out on the membership page and may be updated, so check there for the current terms before joining.
