Josie's Travel Labs

A holiday’s not just a holiday

It’s one of the most important things you’ll do this year

It’s the thing you come back from feeling yourself again and that’s why I take it seriously.

At Josie’s Travel Labs my aim is to help you find your perfect holiday. Whether you’re dreaming of a city break, a round-the-world trip or you just need some inspiration, guidance or advice.

I have access to 460+ suppliers through Hays Travel, many you won’t have heard of, and because I’m fully ABTA bonded and all-flight inclusive packages are ATOL protected, you can book with complete confidence. You’re already paying for a travel agent in the price of your holiday, why not work with someone who genuinely cares about getting it right.

How does it work?

You don’t pay me anything directly. Travel operators build a commission into the rates you see online. If you book alone, the provider simply keeps that extra profit; if you book with me, that ‘hidden’ cost pays for my time to look after you. In many cases you’re already paying for a travel agent in the price of your room or holiday so you might as well use one. While I won’t beat every “internet-only” flash sale, I have price parity with many major operators.

Who do I work with?

I chose to partner with Hays Travel, the UK’s largest independent travel agent, because I wanted to work with a company whose values I share. Hays Travel is a Which? Recommended Provider, recognised for its exceptional customer service and reliability. The organisation is led by Dame Irene Hays, who is widely recognised for her commitment to people, training, and apprenticeships. This culture of integrity is why the brand famously stepped in to support the industry during the Thomas Cook transition.

Why book with me?

Personal Service

Josie’s Travel Labs is a fully personalised service. I’m happy to go the extra mile, whether that’s sourcing the perfect car hire, securing airport parking, or arranging those small “extras” that make a trip.

I’ll be with you every step of the way – from your first idea to your flight home – making sure your next adventure is easy, organised, and enjoyable.

Travel operators build commission into the rates you see online so you get my full expertise at no extra cost.

In many cases, you’re paying for an agent so you might as well use one and get the personalised support you deserve.

Financial Protection

Things can go wrong with any booking – but the difference when you book with me is who pays and who helps when they do.

When you piece together a holiday yourself – by booking a flight and then separately your accommodation – you carry all the risk if one element fails.

I take that weight off your shoulders as I am a fully ABTA-bonded travel agent, and all flight-inclusive packages are ATOL protected.

Comparing the market

It’s fun to look online, but it’s easy to get overwhelmed without an indepth knowledge of what you’re looking for. I have access to a whopping 460+ travel suppliers, including specialist operators you won’t necessary stumble across yourself.

I use these relationships and my industry knowledge to source you a great deal on the right holiday, so you can get the best value without lots of wasted time searching.

Living and breathing travel means I can help you find breaks and adventures that meet your requirements perfectly but weren’t previously on your radar.
