Good taste is my job description.
Hi, I'm Chelsea.
I plan trips for the people who notice the details.
I'm a Virtuoso luxury travel advisor, and I design fully customized travel experiences for people who would rather do it right than do it all themselves.
I make it easy. No packages. No tourist traps. No group bus tours, and no falling down a rabbit hole of 400 conflicting hotel reviews.
I've spent my life chasing the world's best hotels, luxury small ships, private villas, and unique experiences so you don’t have to.
I founded Alair Travel in 2019 on a simple standard: I only recommend what I'd book for myself. That's why my clients don't come back once. They hand me all of their travel, trip after trip, year after year.
My clients get the VIP treatment most travelers never even know to ask for. An after-hours tour of Versailles, all to yourselves. The Michelin table with the view to die for. Room upgrades. Resort credits. Daily breakfast. Breezing through customs. Your driver waiting at baggage claim. Your favorite champagne on ice when you arrive.
Whether it's a milestone celebration or a summer holiday, your only big trip of the year or your fifth, an anniversary weekend, or a staycation, it should never be anything less than an effortlessly extraordinary experience.
What our clients have to say
“Our time in South Africa was indescribable. Two weeks later, and I’m still overwhelmed when I reflect on how amazing our trip was! Truly, because of your expertise, our family had the trip of a lifetime. Every single place we stayed was INCREDIBLE.
The Safari nearly brought me to tears upon our first encounter with a giraffe! The staff treated us like family (we even had a dance party with them on our last night).
One thing we really appreciated was not having to think about and arrange transportation. With the little ones, it just made everything run more smoothly.
I honestly do not have one complaint or negative thing to say! My husband and I are already dreaming up where we want to go next and he said ‘we have to make sure Chelsea plans it for us!’
This trip, and the ease of it which allowed us to truly just enjoy our time, learn a lot and soak up all that South Africa has to offer means more to me than I’ll ever be able to express.”
“Chelsea was fantastic! The itinerary she put together for us and her careful planning really changed the way we want to travel going forward.
The days were so full with terrific experiences, our guides were phenomenal (we’d like to host them when they come to the US) and the travel logistics were so easy.
This was an outstanding trip.
Our 5 hour horseback riding trek through the Colombian countryside to an underground salt cathedral. Such an incredible experience that we’ll remember forever.
It was a 10 out of 10!”
“We had a spectacular time in Bali!
Chelsea was super easy to work with, very responsive and really understood what we were looking for when it came to resorts and activities. I also really appreciate her flexibility when we decided to add another day in Ubud at the last minute!
Ubud was beautiful, Komonaka at Tenggayuda was such a unique little oasis and was the highlight of our whole trip. Thank you for making our honeymoon so memorable!”
“We loved everything about our trip: a great mix of history, food and culture, tennis and swim. The cooking class and private butler in Costa Navarino were extra special. The travel bar is now officially higher. Favorite trip ever!”
“Chelsea was amazing. She worked with us for over 8 months building our dream vacation. Everything went perfectly and exceeded our expectations. We will be partnering with her again in the future.”
“Dining on the main street of Taormina, all the cooking classes and wine tastings, the guide and the guided tours were excellent.
Excellent choices in all 4 locations. The resorts and restaurants that you selected were top notch and worth the money.
The guides in Malta were exceptional, and the wine tasting class and its sommelier was perhaps the best wine class that we have ever experienced.
Chelsea, thank you for all your help! That type of flexibility has been something that we have always appreciated with your travel agency.”
