Who is 'Ali's Away Days'?
Hi, My name is Alison (aka Ali)..
Personal Travel Planning, Tailored to You
.... I'm an Independent Travel Agent* based in Nottingham, helping you plan holidays that are seamless, stress-free, and designed around you.
Originally from East London, I’ve spent most of my working life in the travel industry—starting in a London Forte hotel before moving on to Monarch Airlines (Monarch Aircraft Engineering). This experience has given me a strong understanding of both exceptional customer service and the detail behind every journey.
Now, with over two and a half years as an Independent Travel Agent, I focus on taking the time and pressure off you. I genuinely enjoy the research side of travel planning—finding the best options, adding thoughtful touches, and making sure every detail is just right—so you don’t have to.
Whether you’re planning:
• A relaxing escape
• A special occasion or once-in-a-lifetime trip
• An adventurous itinerary
• Or a more complex multi-centre holiday
I’ll bring everything together with care and attention, creating a trip that feels effortless from start to finish.
My aim is simple: to save you time, remove the stress, and give you complete confidence in your holiday—knowing everything has been carefully considered.
Alongside my work, I have an interest in British Sign Language, which reflects my passion for communication and ensuring every client feels comfortable, supported, and understood. I live in Nottingham with my husband and pride myself on offering a friendly, personal service you can rely on.

Recent Trips I’ve Planned
Here are just a few examples of holidays I’ve recently helped my clients create:
🇮🇳 India Multi-Centre Escape (3 Weeks)
A carefully planned journey for a couple, starting with international flights from the UK to Bangalore, including a comfortable stay to begin their trip.
From there, I arranged internal flights to Goa for a week-long beach stay—giving them time to relax and unwind—before returning to Bangalore for an overnight stay ahead of their journey home.
This trip included return international flights, internal flights within India, four hotel stays, and all airport transfers—ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
“Thanks Alison for organising our holiday and supporting us.”
“Ali’s Away Days – she is awesome!!!!!”
Recent Trips I've Planned (Part 2!)
🇬🇷 Greek Island Escape (2 Weeks)
A seamless itinerary combining flights, land and sea travel for a relaxing island getaway.
I arranged return flights from the UK to Athens, an overnight airport stay to make the journey stress-free, followed by clear guidance for the bus transfer to the port and ferry crossing to a beautiful Greek island.
This trip included flights, hotel stays, ferry bookings, and all transfer details—carefully researched and organised so everything connected smoothly.
The result was a relaxed, enjoyable two-week holiday with all the planning taken care of.
Every trip I plan is tailored to the individual—whether it’s a simple getaway or a more detailed, multi-centre itinerary, I make sure everything fits together seamlessly.
