I am the type of person who likes to know everything before taking any steps related to booking, travel, and trips.

I love the idea, but it seems a bit expensive. starting point of $500/night for a roadtrip? that totally defeats the point of a roadtrip IMO. They say the flights plans are typically around 400 miles from your starting airport with a starting price of $1,350 (or $900/person), so that just doesn't seem worth it for a random long weekend US adventure.

Love the idea though, maybe one day I'll give it a try.

We did this for our honeymoon! Didn't use this company though. I'm not going to name who we went through because the details could definitely have been planned better, but the experience as a whole was so fun!!

Sort of did this recently on our own but not with a company so more really like surprising ourselves trip. Packed up for a 10 day road trip from Los Angeles to roam and maybe hike somewhere around central/northern California. Decided to go to Yosemite area for a couple of days.

On the 2nd day, thought it would be cool to fly to NYC the next day because we’ve never been and why not?!

Only did it because we found reasonably cheap flights out of Sacramento and last minute room deals in midtown Manhattan. Stayed 3 days then the final leg of our flight back got delayed and ended up spending a day in Phoenix.

Great adventure!

My brother and sister-in law do at least a trip a year through them - they’ve really enjoyed it!

Yep! Absolutely loved it! But…. My husband ended up in the hospital while we were on ours (Denver) they handled it well…. Refunded all my tickets I didn’t use, cancelled reservations and the Uber credits we had came in handy for me to go back and forth to the hospital.

He stayed 2 nights…. Which was a bummer when we were only there 3 nights ….

He’s fine… we’ll try again another time. But everything g they planned for us sounded great! The hotel we got was awesome! Everyone on our airport shuttle was so excited for us! People at the airport had lots of questions as well. It was fun…. Until he ended up in the hospital.
