  SERVICE FEES

 

PHILOSOPHY
We offer two levels of service, Bond Street Hallmark and Bond Street Concierge. The difference is in the amount of planning involved, not the quality of – or attention to detail needed. There is no Bond Street Lite.

Our business is linear not exponential so there are no economies that can be an offset to the amount of work required to complete each booking thoroughly. This type of quality trip planning is labor intensive and very detail oriented.

Since the airlines have, for the most part, eliminated paying commissions to us, probably half of the revenue of a trip generates no income; thus our fees have to fill in for the missing component of the trip.

Our fee structure needs to be fair to us and to our clients; it must reflect the amount of work required and also the revenue stream – or lack thereof-to determine the total fee.

While we don’t have a minimum annual purchase requirement, we do expect that on balance each client must provide at least a minimum average return on their bookings. If they don’t we will offer them the choice of paying supplemental fees .
