When planning a performance tour, the last thing you want to worry about is the uncertainty and stress of flight arrangements. At Encore, we understand that seamless travel is crucial for the success of your trip. With over thirty years of experience in the industry, we have established strong group contract fares with all major airlines, ensuring that our clients receive the best possible flights and exceptional service. This is just one more reason why directors consistently trust us to deliver world-class tours. Early Confirmation for the Best Flights We know how important it is to secure the best flights for your group. That’s why we confirm flight arrangements early, giving you peace of mind and the best possible travel options. Early confirmation means better flight times, reduced layovers, and overall a more pleasant travel experience for you and your ensemble. Coordinated Instrument Transportation Traveling with musical instruments can be a daunting task. At Encore, we coordinate instrument transportation as needed, ensuring that your valuable instruments are handled with care. Our experienced team works with airlines to make sure your instruments arrive safely and on time, so you can focus on your performance rather than logistics. Additionally, with our Ultimate-Plus Protection Plan, you’ll receive $5,000 worth of instrument insurance, providing extra peace of mind for your valuable equipment. Transparent Pricing with No Surprises Many of our competitors either don’t include flights in their pricing or fail to guarantee pricing, leaving you vulnerable to unexpected charges. We don’t like surprises, which is why we offer roundtrip flights and guaranteed fares. That means the price you see is the price you pay. No hidden fees, no last-minute charges—just transparent, straightforward pricing. Flexible Travel Options We understand that every travel experience is unique, and sometimes participants may need to arrange alternate returns from the rest of their group. For an additional fee, we offer the flexibility to customize your travel experience. Whether it’s extending your stay or returning from a different destination, our team helps participants tailor their trip to meet their specific needs. We are committed to making your performance tour a memorable and stress-free experience. Our guaranteed flights and transparent pricing are just a few of the ways we strive to provide exceptional service to our clients. Choose Encore for your next performance tour and travel with confidence, knowing that your flights are in good hands.
