How to Get VIP Upgrades and Perks on Your Next Vacation

Turn Your Next Vacation Into a VIP Experience

Dreaming of a vacation with luxury perks — like room upgrades, champagne on arrival, or a late checkout? The secret to unlocking those VIP experiences isn’t just luck — it’s strategy, timing, and the right connections.

1. Book Through a Travel Advisor

Working with a travel advisor is the easiest way to secure VIP perks without paying extra. Through partnerships with global hotel brands and travel networks, advisors can access benefits that aren’t available to the public.

Think: complimentary daily breakfast, resort credits, early check-in, late checkout, and even free room upgrades — all arranged before you arrive.

Pro Tip: Advisors often work with networks like Virtuoso or Four Season Preferred Partner, which guarantee elite benefits even without loyalty status.

2. Join Luxury Hotel and Airline Loyalty Programs

If you travel frequently, join loyalty programs such as Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, or World of Hyatt. These programs reward you with points, upgrades, and personalized touches. When you book through a travel advisor, you often receive elite-level perks — even on your first stay.

3. Travel During Shoulder Season

Want better rates and better upgrades? Travel during the shoulder season — the time just before or after peak season. Resorts are less crowded, and staff can often provide complimentary upgrades or added amenities.

4. Mention Your Special Occasion

Celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, or birthday? Let your advisor (and hotel) know in advance. Properties love creating special moments for guests — like rose petals on the bed, private beach dinners, or room upgrades to mark the occasion.

5. Let Your Travel Advisor Handle the Details

From VIP airport services to private transfers, the best perks often come through insider access. A travel advisor can arrange meet-and-greet services, fast-track customs clearance, and private lounge access — ensuring your journey is seamless from the moment you leave home. These details turn travel into a true first-class experience — stress-free, smooth, and completely tailored to you.

Travel Like a VIP

Getting VIP upgrades and perks isn’t just about luck — it’'s about strategy and connection. When you work with a luxury travel advisor, you’re not just booking a trip; you’re unlocking a world of exclusive privileges and personalized touches that make your vacation truly exceptional.
