I called Sunflower Travel on February 13th and spoke to Angie. I told her what I was wanting to do and where I was wanting to go. She gave me some helpful information and ultimately sent me an email where I had to follow the links to put down a $50 design deposit. I went through all of those steps (which are confusing by the way, and I never saw $50 come out of my credit card) and then.... Nothing. No follow up from Angie. I emailed her again on Tuesday March 4th to let her know that I have not heard anything back from her at all. It's now Thursday March 6th with no response. I am not sure what just happened, but I don't know how to review this company any differently considering I have had zero follow up from Angie and I am now just going to either try a different agent or just book a trip on my own like I usually do.

In my life, there are two times I have been lucky. The first was when I got the opportunity to study abroad in my dream country. This was back in 2019. I am the first of my family to travel abroad for an extended period of time. Because of this, my family has never booked flights or done any travel outside of driving cars. We had no idea where to start. This is where Sunflower Travel came in. They helped my parents and I book round-trip tickets to allow me to travel abroad. They took my seating preferences and even made sure I had long connections for when I came back to the US. The second time I experienced luck was in 2022 when I got the opportunity to teach in that same dream country. Once again, I booked my flights through Sunflower Travel, and Heather Hadley was more than helpful throughout the whole process. She once again took my preferences into account and helped me book safe and comfortable flights. More recently, in January of this year, I got the opportunity to return to the US to visit my family for the first time in 3 years. My parents went through Sunflower Travel again, and even though 3 years had passed, Heather seemed to remember me. When I checked my booking, I realized my seating preferences were thought of, and I once again had nice, long connections so I didn't have to worry about missing any of my flights back home and when returning to the country I teach in. I am very grateful for everything Sunflower Travel has done to help me and my family throughout these last 6 years. Thank you for helping make my journeys safe and comfortable. Especially thanks to Heather Hadley for all your amazing work!

We had a great experience with Dana booking travel plans in Amsterdam in January 2025. We abruptly booked a trip to attend a special event, so we needed to backfill in the tourist stuff to make the most out of the vacation. I randomly contacted Sunflower to inquire about the use of a travel agent to assist with my first time in Europe. I was too busy with the holidays and work to research anything, and we just needed to cover our bases to assure our short trip would be easy and exciting. I was most concerned about avoiding the usual things tourists can get trapped in, but wanted to be sure we didn't miss any must-dos. Dana confidently booked our hotels in two cities, placing us in amazing locations but at really affordable rates. We effortlessly had train tickets for between cities, a canal tour, and transportation to/from the airport. IF YOU LEARN ONE THING ABOUT TRAVEL ABROAD, IT IS TO BOOK TRANSPORTATION WITH A PRIVATE COMPANY! This tip was awesome. If you are unfamiliar with a destination, having a professional, competent and safe ride to your hotel is really a great way to relieve the anxiety that can come from arriving in a foreign country. Our drivers cost less than a taxi or Uber, it was faster in every aspect, and we got the luxury of riding with a driver that is also a tour guide. That allowed the learning to begin the second we stepped off the airport property. Dana was able to provide us with a bunch of ideas for how to make a great trip with a low to modest budget. We booked our own flights, but she was able to provide good advice to make everything run smoothly. And when we made some near last-minute changes to our itinerary, Dana had no issues with the modifications. I highly recommend contacting Dana at Sunflower Travel to see how she can make your trip abroad more fun and stress free.

On 8/4/24 my mother books a flight with Sunflower travel. Angie was the agent. The trip was to be 11/25-11/30. My mother, unknowingly, made the reservation under "Jeff", my full name is "Arnold Jeffrey". We decided this might be a problem with the TSA. Over next three weeks or so I tried to speak with Angie to get this correctly. It took many phone calls to speak to her (she never would return my calls). Angie told me she was too busy booking travel for the aircraft companies to address this problem. She final agreed to correct my name, but it would take TWO WEEKS?!? I did get an email saying it was fixed. Didn't think anything else about it. Fast forward to 11/30, I am at the TSA check point. The agent says "who's Jeff?" I explain the situation. He sent me back to the AA ticket counter to get it corrected. By the time that was done I had missed my flight. Apparently, Angie had only corrected the flight out, not the return trip. Best part? Was the only flight out that date. I still CANNOT wrap my mind around how an "agent" is too busy to make a simple correction. Then screw it up. Too busy with more important customers. Way to go Sunflower!!!
