Compassionate travel is one of the most stressful and anxiety present form of travel. World Travel Connections has since the pandemic began assisted several families to be reunited for compassionate reasons as well as opportunities for families to be that one last time together before a close relative, or a family friend passes away.
What to consider before organising compassionate travel?
Organising compassionate travel requires the upmost care, whilst delivering seamless travel arrangements. One must take in consideration several factors in doing so.
First and foremost, establishing a relationship between our clients whilst taking in consideration their needs is on the forefront element in organising compassionate travel. It is essential that all involved parties are aware of such situation.
This includes airline reservation personnel as well as ground staff and sometimes onboard airline crews. Unfortunately, compassionate travel does not only involve the movement of people seating on a commercial airliner. It can also include the movement of deceased in cargo hold whilst relatives travel on the same aircraft or different one at times. All of which becomes very emotional.
In those difficult times, it is parmount to have travel professionals to rely on. At World Travel Connections we have helped several people/family members say their goodbyes to their family member before the inevitable happened. We are proud to offer such unique service in a timely and efficient manner. Our long-standing presence and expertise in the travel industry provides us with access to some of the most unique procedures to deliver emergency travel arrangements whilst caring for our clients.
Emergency travel is not limited to compassionate situation. Compelling reasons play a big part in this game. In February 2021 World Travel Connections was able to successfully confirm seats above the cap for a young child and his parent traveling from Pakistan, for some life changing spinal surgery. With the help of our travel partners, we successfully delivered a confirmed booking which allowed a young Australian child to have spinal cord surgery in Sydney. Timing was of the essence as quarantine needed to take place prior to surgery.
From Islamabad to Sydney, Bali to Melbourne or Sydney to London and Paris to Noumea to only name a few, we have connected people with places and delivered successful travel solutions to our clients.
