Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Services in Ames, IA

No — meeting with us is always free. We want Ames travelers to feel comfortable asking questions and exploring options without worrying about upfront costs.

You can get honest guidance, compare ideas, and decide what’s right for you with zero pressure.

Absolutely. Many clients come to us with only a budget, travel dates, or a general idea.

We’ll talk through what you enjoy, walk you through destinations that fit your goals, and help you narrow down the options until something feels right.

We help with all kinds of travel — cruises, all-inclusive resorts, honeymoons, family vacations, group trips, European itineraries, and more.

Whether you’re planning something simple or something more complex, we build the trip around your needs.

Booking online leaves you with endless choices, hidden rules, and no help when things change.

With a travel advisor, you get clear guidance from someone who knows the industry, can compare the best options, and is here for you before, during, and after your trip — especially if something unexpected comes up.

Yes — we work with a trusted network of cruise lines, all-inclusives, tour companies, and global partners.

This gives you access to vetted options, added perks, and reliable support you won’t get by booking randomly online.

Often, yes. Because of our industry connections, we can access special rates, added amenities, or value upgrades that aren’t widely advertised.

We also help make sure you’re choosing the best option for your money — not just the lowest upfront price.

It depends on where you’re going, but most big trips and cruises should be planned 6–12 months in advance.

Popular destinations sell out quickly, and booking early often gives you better pricing and availability.

If you need something sooner, we can still help you find great options.

Yes, we walk you through the coverage options, what each plan includes, and what makes sense for your situation.

Travel protection can make a huge difference if flights change, weather disrupts plans, or unexpected issues come up.

Most travelers from Ames fly out of Des Moines International Airport (DSM), but we can also help you compare options from Omaha or Minneapolis if it benefits your itinerary.

We’ll help you choose the route that makes the most sense for your trip.

Definitely. If a flight gets delayed, weather changes your plans, or something unexpected happens, you won’t be stuck on hold with an online booking site.

You can contact our team, and we’ll help sort things out quickly so you can get back to enjoying your trip.

“My husband and I were connected to Allied Travel through a friend and we could not have been happier we did. Outside of booking our own flight, they helped us find our hotels and activities while in Hawaii for our honeymoon. When one hotel put us in a different room than what we paid for, Allied Travel was on top of it and had the situation worked out within an hour…at 11 pm CST. Not being someone that enjoys trip planning, we will absolutely utilize their services for future trips!”

“Our wedding was perfect! We had around 40 family and friends at our wedding in Cancun. That was a lot of coordinating! Thankfully Allied Travel took all of the stress and worry off of our plates! They really allowed us the opportunity to enjoy our wedding and our honeymoon at another resort! The hardest part will be deciding where we want to go next! Allied Travel will do all of our resort and vacation planning from here on out! Thank you again!! 5 Stars, A+, 10/10, truly the highest praised rating available!”

“Just returned from a trip to London & Paris that Allied Travel helped us plan. They arranged flights, hotels and train links. Their travel specialist was very accommodating and was happy to help us keep searching till we found the hotels we wanted. These ended up being nicer than we expected. This is the second time we have used Allied Travel to help us arrange a trip to Europe. We plan on using them again for future overseas trips.”
