Traveling on Points
Emirates First Class
Traveling is great; traveling for free is even better! And traveling in luxury for free is the best! It’s actually how I became a travel advisor. I don’t consider myself a travel advisor; I’m a personal travel concierge or a dream vacation creator.
After flying first class around the world on some of the best airlines (including Emirates, Singapore Airlines and Japan Airlines) and staying at hotels that cost thousands of dollars a night (there are too many to name), I decided it was time to help you do the same.
I’m an expert travel advisor, not a points and miles blogger. Part of my custom service includes helping you get the most out of your points and utilizing the points you have for the best redemption. I provide a unique service because most travel advisors do not work with airline, hotel and credit card points.
A points and mile blogger will give you ideas about where to go, but they rarely talk about what they do at their destination, how they did it, or how much an activity costs. I specialize in unique and exclusive experiences. Unique Luxury Travels ensures you travel how you want, when you want and in the style right for you.
Traveling is much more than getting to and from your destination or finding the best place to stay. As a luxury travel advisor, I know travel is personal. You want to have unique experiences that you’ll enjoy and that matter to you.
My luxury service, personal attention and travel expertise help turn your dream vacation into reality while saving you time and stress. Luxury travel isn’t about money; it’s about expert and personalized service catered specifically to you.
I travel around the world several times a year to find unique experiences for travelers. I’ve created partnerships in dozens of countries to ensure that every traveler’s journey is extraordinary.
Most of my flights are booked using airline miles and transferable points from credit cards. Over the years, I’ve built a base of more than 1,000,000 transferable points that I can keep in my award wallet.
Separately, I have more than 2,000,000 points at hotel chains. In the past, I’ve used points for stays at the Ritz Carlton Tokyo, Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Park Hyatt Sydney, Alila Napa Valley, and St. Regis Rome, to name a few.
I’ll work with you to build the best points strategy for you and show you how to use your points for aspirational world travel. I’ll help you create a simple and easy-to-use plan to make luxury travel free for you!
While my luxury travel service is based in New York City, I work with travelers across the country. My service is personal, and customized, listens to your wants, and crafts an itinerary perfect for you. Please email [email protected] or call 917-225-1360 to start planning your dream vacation.

Matt is the BEST!
Matt made my vacation stress free
Perfect Vacation!
Matt Exceeds Expectations
Matt planned our "dream vacation" to Portugal - our first trip with our 15-month-old and our first vacation in some time.
I thought what I was looking for didn't exist: a luxury farm stay befitting foodies, animals for my one-year-old to see and a heated pool. He found it and it exceeded expectations.
That was just the start. Matt planned every detail of our entire trip and even came to the rescue when we had to rebook the whole trip a day before departure when our little one got sick.
I cannot recommend Matt and Unique Luxury Travels more highly.
Managed to please everyone
Always plans the best trips!
He asks great questions to ensure we get the most out of every trip and truly provides an unmatched level of personal service.
Best in Class
The Perfect Trip to Europe
Matt is a seasoned traveler who is knowledgeable, resourceful, and thorough. If there was something he didn’t know, he would take the time to research it and get back to us right away. Matt respected our desire to plan some things ourselves and he helped fill in the gaps. He got us great rates on hotels, found the best excursions, and even helped make restaurant reservations. His skills shined when he found us a private tour guide to see Stonehenge and figured out the best way to get from city to city. Most importantly he ensured that the trip went smoothly with no mishaps. This was our first time hiring a travel consultant and plan on using him again in the future.
David, Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm thrilled you and Adrienne enjoyed your vacation. I enjoyed keeping up with your posts and seeing how active you were on Facebook! I'm honored to work with travelers like you.
Extraordinary multigenerational journey
Cruise Expert
A Home Run Vacation
Miracle Worker
I contacted him for help with an all-inclusive in Mexico or the Caribbean. He asked me a lot of questions and took the time to listen to what I was saying. I was holding out on what I really wanted, a Virgin Voyages cruise. I knew it embarked in two weeks and it was sold out. In less than two hours, Matt reserved two rooms for my family with extra sailor loot!
I'd give him 10 stars! He really provides an expert, personalized service. I'll be contacting him again for all my vacations.
Awesome Experience
Fantastic Experience
I believe that I will have an amazing time
A big help!
Very easy to work with.
We finally found the travel advisor right for us!
Matt was thorough and flexible. Our most recent trip was just what we wanted!
He found us great tour guides, just exactly what we were looking for in hotels and attractions, and even made dinner reservations at some great local restaurants that were not expensive - the kinds of places that the locals go for a good meal.
When we missed one transfer, he was right there to help us make sure we still got to do the things we might have missed. I highly recommend him! Can't wait to go on our next trip planned by Matt.
