Questions? You’re in the right place.
From how booking with SUMA works to payments, protection and what happens after you’ve booked – here are the answers to some of the things we’re asked most often.
ABOUT SUMA
SUMA Travel is a personal travel service founded by Susanna and Mark Feldman. We arrange holidays, cruises, tailor-made travel, group trips, corporate and incentive travel, gifting and special experiences, combining personal service with access to an extensive network of trusted travel partners and suppliers.
You still have access to an enormous choice of travel, but with real people helping you navigate it. We take the time to understand what matters to you, research the options, help shape your trip and manage the booking, rather than leaving you to piece everything together yourself.
Not at all. We can arrange exceptional luxury travel, but SUMA isn’t exclusively a luxury travel company. The right trip is the one that suits you – your budget, priorities, occasion and expectations.
Quite a lot! From holidays and cruises to tailor-made itineraries, group trips, corporate and incentive travel, hospitality, experiences and gifting. Whether you know exactly what you want or just have the beginnings of an idea, talk to us and we’ll help work out what’s possible.
PLANNING & BOOKING
Simply get in touch and tell us what you have in mind. You don’t need to have everything worked out – that’s what we’re here for. The more you can tell us about who’s travelling, approximate dates, budget and what matters to you, the better we can shape the right options.
Absolutely. Tell us the kind of experience you’re looking for, who you’re travelling with, when you’d like to go and your approximate budget, and we’ll help turn the beginnings of an idea into something much more exciting.
Yes. Depending on your trip, we can bring together flights, accommodation, cruises, transfers, activities, dining and experiences, so you don’t have to organise every element separately.
Yes – group travel is a big part of SUMA. We can help with trips for friends and family, milestone celebrations, weddings, clubs and organisations, as well as corporate groups and incentive travel. Whether it’s six people or sixty, talk to us about what you’re planning.
PAYMENTS & PROTECTION
SUMA Travel looks after you throughout your enquiry, planning and booking. Your travel arrangements are booked through EFR Travel Ltd using its established booking systems, supplier relationships and travel infrastructure. You’ll deal with SUMA, while we work through EFR behind the scenes to manage your booking.
We’ll give you clear payment instructions as part of the booking process, including what is due and when. Payments for your travel arrangements are made through the appropriate EFR Travel booking and payment systems.
Not necessarily. Deposit and balance requirements vary depending on what you’re booking, the supplier and how far in advance you’re travelling. We’ll explain the payment schedule clearly before you confirm your booking.
Where applicable, travel arrangements booked through SUMA Travel are provided through EFR Travel Ltd and benefit from the relevant financial protection applying to your booking. EFR Travel Ltd is an ABTA member (J6269 and W5823) and holds ATOL 5856. The protection that applies will depend on the travel arrangements you book and will be detailed in your booking documentation.
BEFORE & AFTER YOU BOOK
We don’t disappear once your booking is confirmed. SUMA remains your point of contact and we’ll be here to help with questions, documentation and the arrangements relating to your trip right through to departure.
Contact us as soon as possible and we’ll help you understand your options. Changes and cancellations are subject to the terms and conditions of your booking and the relevant travel supplier or suppliers, and charges may apply.
We strongly recommend arranging appropriate travel insurance as soon as you book. Your cover should be suitable for your destination, the activities you’re planning, your personal circumstances and the value of your trip.
It is your responsibility to make sure you meet the passport, visa, health and entry requirements for your destination. Requirements can change, so we recommend checking the latest official travel advice for every country you’re visiting before you travel.
A FEW OTHER THINGS…
Absolutely! We love this sort of thing. Whether it’s a surprise holiday, a milestone celebration or a special experience, we can help you plan it while keeping the important details between us and whoever’s in on the secret.
Yes. Travel makes a pretty brilliant present. Whether you want to contribute towards someone’s next adventure, surprise them with a complete trip or give them something special to experience while they’re away, talk to us about what you have in mind.
Yes! Talk to us about what you’re planning. Honeymoons, milestone birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations can all be made even more special when friends and family want to be part of the surprise. We’ll help you work out the best way to bring it together.
Ask us! Our website is there to give you a flavour of what SUMA can arrange, not to limit the possibilities. If you have a destination, experience or slightly unusual idea in mind, tell us about it and we’ll see what we can do.
STILL HAVE A QUESTION
Travel isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are the answers. If there’s something we haven’t covered, just ask us.
