A friend recommended First Discount Travel to help us plan our Honeymoon, and we couldn’t be happier! We were overwhelmed trying to choose a destination and resort for our honeymoo...
n, but Brandee made everything so simple.
On our first call, she asked a few questions and requested three countries we were interested in. Shortly after, she sent us a curated list of resort options with room choices that fit our budget. Once we picked our favorite, Brandee handled all the booking and planning, then sent us a confirmation. She even scheduled two check-in calls before our trip to make sure we had no last-minute questions.
We’re so grateful for her help while we were busy planning our wedding. The resort was amazing, and we had the best time! Highly recommend First Discount Travel and working with Brandee for your honeymoon or any special trip!
We worked with Jerry for our honeymoon and he was absolutely FANTASTIC! He listed to what I wanted and when I asked why he didn’t suggest certain resorts that friends had recommend...
ed he gave specific reasons that were all tied back to our original call of what I wanted. The resort we went with exceeded all expectations. I have already recommended Jerry to several family and friends. If you need a travel agent, pull the trigger and call Jerry!
Jerry was very helpful throughout the entire process of our honeymoon. From first talking to him and getting his recommendations, all the way till we got back home from our trip he...
was great. His communication is 10/10 and is very responsive. I would recommend him to anyone booking a trip even if you already know where you want to go.
Our honeymoon to Italy was unforgettable all thanks to Jerry at First Discount Travel. Every single detail, from flights and transfers between cities to private drivers, excursions...
, and hotels, was perfectly planned. The hotels he selected were incredible, each one more beautiful and unique than the last, and they made our trip feel extra special.
After the stress of planning a wedding, it was such a relief to have someone take care of our travel itinerary so we could just relax and enjoy our honeymoon. Jerry thought of everything and made sure our trip ran smoothly from start to finish. Thanks to him, we were able to fully soak in every moment.
If you have a trip to plan, we highly recommend Jerry at First Discount Travel!
Brandee was the person who helped us with all of our travel needs! The last thing I wanted to worry about when trying to plan a wedding was trying to book flights and a place to st...
ay in a foreign country. Brandee was SO helpful and did an awesome job! She was very easy to reach and took us step by step through the process. All we had to do was give a budget and some things we were looking for and she did the rest. She gave us multiple options to choose from and found new options if the first ones did not work out. She orchestrated two phone calls to go over all the details and was very friendly through that process. She never pressured us into anything we did not want but simply presented the facts. I would definitely book through First Discount Travel and work with Brandee again!
We loved working with Jerry and his team! They made planning our honeymoon as seamless as possible! They gave honest opinions, answered quickly, and stuck to our budget! Cannot wai...

I cannot say enough great things about First Discount Travel. Our agent, Abigail was such a big help! She helped us through booking a cruise, overseas flights, car services, hotel ...
bookings, and setting up some more specific requests regarding food allergies. We were able to get all of our questions answered throughout the process and had many calls to discuss the plans or travel tips. They helped make our dream honeymoon a reality. I have and will continue to recommend them to everyone who needs travel assistance. They’re fantastic!
Our travel agents were very friendly and kept us informed throughout the whole process. Traveling was super easy, especially for our first time out of country!

Jerry was amazing at helping us find the perfect honeymoon getaway! We knew we wanted to be in the Caribbean at a Sandals resort (adults only, all inclusive) with a great beach. He...
showed us lots of options based off our request and we eventually settled on Sandals Royal Barbados. Jerry took care of all the booking and then gave us our payment timeline. He continued to check in with us offering input about excursions, restaurants, tipping, and travel documents. We had the best time and will definitely be using him for future vacations!
Jerry helped us find a honeymoon spot that was perfect for my husband and I! He took the time to get to know us and what exactly what we wanted our honeymoon to look like. He provi...

We booked our honeymoon to St. Lucia with Kelli Garcia and it was a great experience! Kelli was very patient and knowledgeable and always had quick response times as we explored a ...
variety of different destinations around the world until we decided on St. Lucia. Her description of the resort and the island were very accurate and we found all of her recommendations very helpful.

We absolutely love First Discount Travel! They took so much off our plate when it came to planning our honeymoon. We basically described what we wanted and were given plenty of opt...
ions to customize and choose from. We weren't pressured or rushed into choosing/purchasing. Our budget was considered and maintained, we were also given great travel advice and what to expect throughout our trip. We worked with Brandee and can't say enough about how amazing and kind she is! Brandee held our hand every step of the way, she kept us well informed and was quick to communicate any potential changes or opportunities we might like to take advantage of. We loved working with Brandee and First Discount Travel so much that we started planning an anniversary trip soon after we got home from our honeymoon. After a long year of planning a wedding, it was so nice to trust someone else plan our Jamaican honeymoon. Brandee took care of everything and all we had to do was show up according to the itinerary. The great thing about First Discount Travel is that they stay at many of the resorts they recommend! It was so refreshing to get open, honest, and firsthand experience on the options we were looking into. Our resort was nothing less than amazing, it truly lived up to the expectations. I can honestly say we will forever be lifelong clients of Brandee and First Discount Travel.
Brandee was absolutely incredible. She planned and coordinated everything. Was so helpful and kind during the process and contributed positively to our experience. The only thing w...
e did was provide her a budget, select our location and boarded the flights. Everything was planned. So worth it!!! Work with these guys!!

rary that even included a night at Ashford Castle and that was the highlight of our trip. She helped us arrange tours in each city, suggested restaurants and where to make a dinner reservations, and mapped out all of the places we should stop along the way. It was truly a dream honeymoon and I can't wait to have Holly plan all our future vacations!
My husband and I had the best experience working with First Discount Travel! They planned the perfect honeymoon for us and we couldn't have enjoyed our time more!

e to help us out last minute if something were to happen! He was very responsive and gave us some amazing suggestions that were within our budget. You can really tell that he cares for each and every one of his clients. He was suggested to us by another couple, and I'm so glad that they suggested him to us!
We worked with Jerry to plan our Honeymoon to Italy. This was the absolute best decision we could have made.
Jerry had been to Italy multiple times and his expertise led to the be...
st honeymoon one could ask for. He helped us come up with an itinerary, flights, hotels, trains and car transportation. His help did not stop there, when we were going to miss our connecting flight due to an airline delay, Jerry took care of re-booking us on an alternate route that got us to our destination just a few hours later. He stayed late in the office until he was certain we were on our way.
I will be using Jerry for every big trip we plan in the future, and I cannot recommend him enough for your next trip!
Jerry was awesome to work with and we had a great experience! He helped us book our honeymoon and everything was amazing! I highly recommend First Discount Travel if you're either ...

I had a friend that used First Discount Travel and recommended Jerry Katz to us.
We were planning a honeymoon and I was way too scared to try and book something myself considering ...
we wanted to go to Jamaica and neither of us have ever been out of the country.
Jerry got back to us right away and made our entire experience stress free.
Like I said, I had no idea where to even start except I knew I wanted to go to Jamaica. Jerry talked us through everything. Asked us what was and wasn’t important to us and asked our budget up front and NEVER questioned that budget once.
He came back with multiple options and we needed up choosing a nicer one in Jamaica which is what we wanted.
Jerry took care of booking everything for us and once it got closer we had a few phone calls to go over all the details. He went above and beyond to answer all my international travel questions (I had a lot considering this was our first time traveling out of the country and neither of us even fly a lot in general)
Jerry answered emails within an hour or 2 almost every time and seriously made this experience so amazing and stress free.
A lot of people told me I didn’t need a travel agent but I don’t think I will ever go without one again for international travel!
Thank you Jerry!
Jess milano helped us plan and our trip went off without any hitches on planners part whatsoever!! It was unforgettable and we are dying to go back and would book through jess in t...
he blink of an eye!! I was worried that using a travel agent would be sus or a scam but she was truly wonderful and kind! Jess is very upbeat and straightforward and she walked us through everything and answered all our annoying random questions and gave us all the information necessary to feel prepared for our trip! Thank you Jess and FDT

fessionalism, time and care Jerry put in to making our honeymoon perfect. Book with Jerry/First Discount Travel you will NOT regret it they are simply the best. THANK YOU
We worked with Jerry Katz to book our honeymoon, and we could not recommend him more! We went in with a very vague idea about what we were hoping for, and Jerry asked all the right...
questions to help us hone in on what we really wanted. He was thoughtful about our budget and led us away from resorts that were out of range. He had recomendations on everything from the resorts themselves to the excursions to even the resort restaurants/bars! He also was very attentive and available to us to schedule calls to discuss options and plans. We absolutely loved our honeymoon trip and are already scheming about how we will get back to the resort for our next vacation. Could not recommend enough!
Wow, where do I even start?!? Highly recommend Jerry at FDTCincinnati!! Jerry helped me plan my destination wedding with immediate family to Cancun, Mexico and it was honestly the ...
least stressful wedding planning. He helped me choose the perfect resort by asking the right questions as to what we were looking for. We wanted a small, simple wedding ceremony with a private dinner afterwards, while also having an affordable vacation for our guests, and Jerry delivered! He was very knowledgeable and attentive to any/all of our questions (and there were a lot!).
Jerry not only helped me and my family with booking our stay but he even helped with correspondence with the resort wedding coordinator until I had everything booked and planned. Anytime I had issues with communication, Jerry was on top of it to get it resolved.
The day of our travel we had a small hiccup (our flight was delayed and we weren’t going to make our connecting flight), but Jerry was once again attentive to my emails at 6:30 am to help plan our next course of action. Luckily we made it to our connecting flight, but Jerry being readily available that early on a Saturday morning speaks volume on his customer service.
Overall, everyone was very pleased with their experience with Jerry and none of us wanted to leave Mexico! We can’t wait to use Jerry again for our next vacation.

It was overwhelming and difficult to decide on a location without his help and on our own, but thanks to him and his insight we picked the PERFECT Sandals resort for our honeymoon. Our honeymoon would not have been as perfect without his help! He really took time and
understood what we were looking for and helped us find just that.
We have always used FDT for our vacations but they went above and beyond for our honeymoon. Jerry is the best!
