About Me
About Myself
My name is Stephen Brunetta, and I’ve been a full-time travel agent since 2013. Originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, I completed my BA in Geography at Brock University before moving to London, England. After 2 years abroad, rediscovering a passion for travel that was first ignited with a 2010 post-graduate trip through 10 European countries, I decided to make Vancouver, BC, my home. Since then, I’ve enjoyed helping family, close friends, and loyal clients fill their vacation time with travel extending to all corners of the globe. I began my agent career at Flight Centre Commercial Drive, then took on the Assistant Manager role which I held for 4.5 years at the Lonsdale location in North Vancouver before it closed due to the pandemic. Now, business is done from the comfort of my mountain-view home or wherever my travels take me. But enough about me, let’s see what's in to for you:
Client Benefits
Professional Expertise: After 10+ years in the business, I’m capable of handling any tricky travel situation. From multi-stop fares, child and senior fare discounts, groups of 10+ people, Round-The-World fares, immigration/health forms, and vaccination requirements, I can guide you through any enquiry with ease.
Value for Money: Protect your vacation dollars by booking your travel with a qualified agent. Whether it’s access to lower contracted airfares, hotel & car rental rates, or bundling air & land products together, your bottom line will look better so you can save money for the fun stuff in destination.
Personal Touch: It’s not the airline or car rental that will make your holiday memorable. It’s the insider tips and recommendations that can turn a good vacation into a great one. Ask me to suggest a restaurant, bar, or off-the-beaten-path experience that you might have missed out on while researching.
High Service Level: Booking online can be easy, but a little negligence can end up being costly. Let me worry about confirming change, cancellation, and baggage rules, middle names, misconnections or schedule changes, checking for visa requirements and gathering your electronic travel documents.
Peace of Mind: Now more than ever, travel insurance is a vital part of any trip. With single or multi-trip premiums available based on your travel habits, I’ll make sure your health and wallet are protected in case something unforeseen or unexpected happens after booking your holiday or while in your destination.
Agent Advantages: Complimentary airfare hold for 1-3 days, break apart that cookie-cutter 7-night all-inclusive package to give you a city stopover in addition to your beach holiday, and a one-stop shop to book all trip components (air/hotel/cruise/ tour/insurance/car rental/transfers/ excursions) while you relax.
