I couldn’t get myself to commit to the cost or all the stress tied to planning a “picture perfect” wedding. According to Zola.com, "The average wedding expense for couples getting married in 2024 totals around $33,000". That is a lot of money, which led to my fiancé and I starting to realize how amazing of a vacation/elopement we could have for a 1/3 of that cost. Once I decided to cancel the traditional wedding, the weight was lifted off my shoulders and I connected with Ashley to start planning our dream wedding in Hawaii.
Ashley was equally excited as I was and she quickly began researching until she found the perfect destination for us that checked ALL of our boxes. Within 10 days, we booked a week-long vacation in Maui, Hawaii at a 5 star resort (flights included) for an incredible price. My fiancé and I were thrilled to have this once in a lifetime experience ahead of us.

Working with Ashley was so effortless. I gave her an idea of where I wanted to go (Greece) and the dates I wanted to travel and she completely did the rest. She planned everything so perfectly right down to the details of being picked up to and from the airport. She also booked some excursions, and although there were some mishaps on the part of the excursion companies, she did a great job at planning in itinerary that was full of eventful things and also wants to make sure everything is right with them.
I would definitely work with Ashley again for any future vacations I want to plan, and that may happen sooner rather than later now I know how amazing it was to work with her!

Ashley was helpful during the entire process, I am extremely pleased with the service that she provided.

Ashley takes the stress out of planning our road trips. We just tell her where and when we want to go, whether we need airfare/rental car/hotel, and our budget. Then she'll send us some options to consider. After we make our selections, she takes care of booking everything. She is very efficient and knowledgeable.

Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes unexpected circumstances arise that require you to cancel or modify your travel plans. This is where I am incredibly thankful to have Ashley Swope with Airplanes and Adventures Travel as our dedicated travel agent.

Her services were invaluable! As your advocate, she handles the logistics and complexities of unforeseen circumstances!

Very knowledgeable, prompt, and overall happy!!

Ashley was truly very knowledgeable about our upcoming vacation and was detailed in our itinerary regarding airlines, airports, dining and different places to visit. She was up to date with the information given to us. Ashley was very professional however down to earth as she treated us like we known her for years. She took quite pride and enthusiasm in explaining us things we weren't quite sure of, and when explaining what we thought might not have been clear, she explained it in clear understanding to us. She really listened to me and explained precisely what I wanted to say. In the end her comparing prices ended with us getting great rates and having a wonderful vacation down to scheduled flights, being picked up to hotel and the next day picked up at the hotel to destination. On the way back same thing, getting picked up and taken to our flight. This is the best vacation I had and worry free.

Ashley was great to work with! I was super indecisive and had lots of questions, having only been out of the country twice before.

Ashley researched different Disney World resorts and gave me many options to choose from within our budget. Also made sure we were getting the best price with the current deals and discounts. Great to work with!

I have never used a TA before but since this was our first time cruising I decided to use Ashley. She has been an absolute godsend! She was able to secure us a tough to get accessible cabin on one of the newest ships. She even made arrangements for a scooter for me so I can navigate these huge ships with ease. Ashley is very responsive to emails and my seemingly endless questions. I really appreciate that. She also assisted in finding hotels before and after our cruises. Given that TA services are free, it is so great to work with a travel professional like Ashley to make your vacation as worry free as possible.

Ashley was easy to work with and VERY helpful! She is quick and eager in assisting with the planning of your dream vacation! She promptly answers questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to working with her again!

So excited for our cruise on the Carnival Celebration. In the past, I always used a PCP from Carnival. This time I tried working with Ashley Swope. It was so much better, I had questions that she responded to right away and got me a better deal than I could get on my own. Plus lots of onboard credit $$$. Thanks Ashley, keep up the good work!

Ashley is super helpful and was able to answer every question!
