About Me

Explore Your World
Explore Your World

As the owner of Premier Travel Service, I invite you to experience luxury travel with me. With 20 years of experience as both a traveler and travel industry veteran, I am a specialist at creating personalized experiences tailored to the unique needs of individuals, families and small corporate clients. Whether it's a romantic getaway, or a family adventure, I am dedicated to crafting a truly customized, one-of-a-kind experience that will exceed your expectations.

I have been an aviation and travel enthusiast from a young age. I hold a bachelor's degree in airport administration and a business degree in aviation. I spend much of my free time studying all aspects of the airline industry, which in turn helps me to stay on top of the latest industry trends and developments and make recommendations to my clients based on the most up-to-date information.

But planning luxury travel is not just about booking a hotel or a flight, it's about crafting an entirely seamless and personalized experience, tailored to your individual preferences and needs. Whether it's arranging private ground-transportation, securing exclusive access to top tourist attractions, or recommending unique and off-the-beaten-path experiences, I am dedicated to ensuring that every detail of your trip is thoughtfully planned and executed to perfection. I will take care of all the logistics so you can focus on enjoying your time away from home.

Growing up in Belgium and Italy instilled in me a love of exploration that continues to grow with each new destination I visit. I have had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Asia, and the Middle East, but one of my favorite destinations in the world is India. India is a perfect destination for culture and history enthusiasts, boasting diverse ancient architecture, art and traditions, religious festivals, customs and diverse cuisine, music and dance. It's a must-see destination for any traveler, with iconic landmarks such as the Taj Mahal, a symbol of love and one of the world's most famous architectural wonders.

When it comes to planning travel with me, don’t just take my word for it - trust the word of my satisfied clients: "John Brawley's meticulous approach, thorough research and knowledgeable advice have brought me savings and peace of mind on numerous occasions now. He helpedme plan a trip to Europe with my two sons, showing me that we could add three nights in a hotel in Barcelona to our week in Paris and save so much in airfare that, even counting the plane from Spain to France, we still came out ahead. The hotel was great and everything went smoothly. John later offered suggestions when my son missed his plane on Thanksgiving weekend. He's been incredibly helpful."

I strive to go above and beyond to ensure that my clients have the best possible travel experiences, and I look forward to assisting you in planning your next luxurious getaway and creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Lisa D - Willow River, MN | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Working with John was pain free, seamless and knowledge based. He was very thorough and answered most of my questions before I even had a chance to ask them. This was the best trip that I have ever had and it was mainly because of the superb planning on John's side. He thought of everything!

Great Dual-Contintent Itinerary
Reviewed By Bags in Hand - Edinan, Minnesota USA | Traveled to Morocco | Africa
John was recommended by a work colleague, so we hired John/Premier Travel for our trip to Morocco and Spain. He was available and provided great communication from planning through the final flight. John was at his best when misfortune struck-- missing luggage and travel-document issues-- helping us rearrange and salvage our time in Morocco. He integrated flights, trains, lodging, and activities in two countries sensibly while allowing our feedback and breathing space to do other things on our own. John's experience, conscientiousness, and communication make him a great travel agent. Custom Trip to Africa (Morocco) and Europe (Spain), October-November 2025
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
