Hi, I’m Ben Komenkul—travel educator, loyalty strategist, and your personal guide to unforgettable adventures. Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury escape, a family getaway, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, I’m here to help you actually make it happen.

With 16+ years of experience as a business and luxury family traveler, I now work one-on-one with clients to plan custom trips—whether you’re paying with cash, points, or a blend of both. From premium flights and five-star hotels to unique local experiences and airport lounge access, we’ll design a journey that fits your travel style and your budget.

Through my brand, Ben’s Big Deal, I run weekly travel strategy classes and teach people how to maximize their everyday spending to unlock the world. But I know not everyone wants to DIY it—and that’s where my planning service comes in. I take the guesswork out of it all and bring the joy back into travel planning.

My favorite part of this work? Helping people fall in love with the places I’ve discovered—from the buzz of Bangkok to the beaches of Mexico, from hidden food stalls in Japan to the luxury suites of Paris.

So if you’re ready for a trip that’s not just another vacation—but a memory you’ll talk about for years—I’d love to work with you. Let’s plan something epic.
