Traveling on Points

Emirates First Class
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.

Dream Anniversary Island Vacation

Reviewed By Ali M - Phoenix, Arizona | Traveled to Kauai Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Matthew has been a dream to work with! We had lots of questions and desires to make our 10th anniversary trip an unforgettable one, Matthew was knowledgeable to help guide us in our choices and flexible as well when we inevitably changed our minds or came up with another idea. He was responsive to our requests and was well connected to quickly help make our dreams a reality. He offered great suggestions to make our trip even better, but also was respectful of our wishes and budget. Couldn’t recommend him more and can’t wait to work with him in the future

Matt Exceeds Expectations

Reviewed By Meher - Eastchester | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
Matt at Unique Luxury Travels calls himself a dream maker. He certainly lives up to this.

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.

Always plans the best trips!

Reviewed By Samuel - Greenburgh, NY | Traveled to Europe
Matt's planned several trips for me. He always finds off-the-beaten-path destinations for my family which is what we really enjoy.

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

Reviewed By Abie - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
Unique Luxury Travels is a pleasure to work with. Matt's attention to detail is "BEST IN CLASS" when it comes to a travel concierge service. He asks the "right" questions so that he can fulfill your needs appropriately. Matt assisted on a trip to Spain and Portugal recently and I will definitely use him again.

The Perfect Trip to Europe

Reviewed By David Vogel - Somers, New York | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
When I met Matt, my wife and I had just started planning a trip to see London, Bruges, and Amsterdam. We already had our flights but that was it. We didn't know where to stay, what we should do, or how to get from one city to the next.

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.

Cruise Expert

Reviewed By Maggie - Key West | Traveled to Caribbean
Matt got us an amazing deal on a cruise for my family to celebrate my father-in-law's milestone birthday. Matt gave us great options and was professional, taking care of every detail. He was patient, answered all our questions and walked us through all the information. He was knowledgeable about the ship we chose and helped us select the best rooms available. He also got us great added perks. Matt highlight wonderful shore excursions and gave us restaurant recommendations for the port we were in for the special birthday celebration. When I had an issue with the spelling of my name on my account on the cruise app, Matt was able to get it corrected and updated in no time. I couldn't recommend Matt more if you're looking for a top quality travel agent! Thank you again Matt for helping us create a great trip of wonderful family memories and get a great deal doing it!

A Home Run Vacation

Reviewed By Connor - Pleasantville, NY | Traveled to Bermuda ~ Caribbean
Matt from Unique Luxury Travels hit it out of the park!! I gave him the challenge of finding something for everyone in my family, four people with kids. It was a tall order because everyone had different tastes and needs. A foodie, a beach person, a gym/adventurer person. Oh yeah, did I mention kids 9 and 6 years old!! Matt created a well-planned trip with a great price to the Caribbean and hit all the criteria for everyone. Unbelievable... Saved me Time, Money, Stress, and Aggravation. I got memories, peace of mind, and it looked like I knew what I was doing the whole time. I highly recommend Unique Luxury Travels.

Miracle Worker

Reviewed By Lisa - White Plains, NY | Traveled to Bimini Islands ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
A friend recommended Matt to me. I'm glad she did. Every travel advisor I ever used made me feel like I was hassling them. Matt made me feel important every step of the way.

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.

We finally found the travel advisor right for us!

Reviewed By Lynne - Mt. Pleasant, NY | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
I have been searching for a great travel agent for years and I have finally found him!

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.
