My name is Jenn Manning. I've been in the music industry for 24 years, 14 of those as a road manager. I understand the unique way tours need to travel. I know you need to get drivers into hotels first thing in the morning, and I understand that you need locations that make sense with your venue. I've been on your same side of the desk or phone, and I really enjoy making this part of the process smooth -- especially for crew and drivers who dang well deserve it. After ten years of basically being a travel agent, I decided to get the credentials that are respected by the travel industry. I hated calling 1-800 numbers and waiting in line to make changes. And that's where I can help you most if you're a client -- you only have to call or text me. On my cell. Anytime. In addition, I can now get access to group flight options with the airlines and fares they have that are quite flexible and make sense for artists and crew. Best of all, I keep YOUR hours. When you need me to make a change, I'm there. When you need me to fix an issue, I am there. I know how important it is for you to be in control. Think of me as your secret weapon.
I love travel. I love events. I love sticking it to the man whenever possible. This company is my perfect combination of these loves. Yes, I know we are all capable of using Orbitz and booking a domestic flight. But I can tell you that, even these days, agents with IATA accreditation still have greater access and our bookings often offer more flexibility. That's the truth. When it comes to group travel, group bookings allow things the average consumer cannot buy, including no fee name changes. This is why I took the time to pursue the IATAN Travel Agency credential. Even in today's online do-it-yourself world, it really holds its value.
I currently book tour travel and lodging for several artists and tours and I am able to give them quick and consistent service -- much needed in a constantly moving world.
Also, when it comes to international travel, group travel and fun things like cruises, all inclusive resorts and guided tours -- you really do gain a lot of options and perspective (not to mention perks) by using an agent to book your itinerary. Like any good road manager would, I make it my goal to study and learn as much as I can about a topic my client wants to know about. So if you have an interest in something, it will be my new goal to find the best options out there for you. People travel differently, and people want different things from their experience. Some want relaxation, some want adventure, some want luxury or culture, and others just want to get from A to B to C efficiently and cheaply. Bottom line - I will listen to you and I will help you find the best thing for YOU, not for me. And when you take your vacation or hit the road on tour, you'll have my cell number to call anytime when you run into changes or obstacles.
