Jane Carty

Designer Travel Expert

Since July 2021

Hi, I‘m Jane a Designer Travel associate based in Cheshire.

Designer Travel is an independent Travel Business, which means we’re not tied to a parent holiday company, so I can search all companies, hotels and airlines for the best prices and deals.

This provides you with the widest range of holiday choices – all at affordable and competitive prices!

I’ve worked in the travel industry for over twenty years in a number of different retail management and corporate roles.

Over the years I’ve taken every opportunity to travel the world which means I have first-hand knowledge of a wide variety of destinations, both near and far.

I now work from home, which means my hours are flexible, so I’m always available at a time of day that suits you and your lifestyle best.

This relaxed approach also means that I have the extra time to put together totally bespoke holidays and itineraries that will be exactly right for you.

I’ll also take away the stressful and time consuming job of researching holidays and checking availability, so even the most complicated travel arrangements will be made with ease.

I also specialise in group bookings, luxury travel and family holidays and also offer a full concierge service.

Designer Travel is fully bonded and only uses travel suppliers who hold either ABTA or ATOL protection. This means that, for your total peace of mind, every holiday or flight I book is financially protected.

So, if you are looking for holiday inspiration, great service and value for money, give me a call - I'd be delighted to help
