If you do a search for 'abroad', you will find several threads on this.

But you've done the first thing - you've already met him! You also know you can stand an extended booking with him, and that he should leave you alone for several hours a day.

As far as cost is concerned, it is as ever up to you. It is going to be at least seven days with no other income for you. What's that worth for you? If someone handed you several thousand pounds, would you book five days there? If not, you may not feel that the location matters in terms of what you charge.

Ideally, you get enough money upfront to book a ticket yourself. (Otherwise, there is an issue of how do you protect your identity etc.)

Thread: trips abroad with client (by snakelady)

I just tried the search box.
Good luck

If it was me, I would feel more comfortable giving him my passport details (if that was the only option) if he scanned his in and emailed it to me so I could print it out and give it to a buddy or someone for my safety. I have thought aboutdoing this if I ever got an outcall overnight booking, I'd give all details to my sister. It's just an idea if you can't get around them buying your ticket for you.xox

can't you ask him for the money to book your own ticket?

I'd be booking the flight myself, once I'd been forwarded the email with his confirmation on it (which will have all the flight details too).

If he's not clearing immigration in the UK and just catching a connecting flight, you won't see him until you get to the departure lounge anyway as he'll be in transit. If he is, then you can check in together and sort out your seating then, although there's a tiny chance the desk might say your name aloud or make your boarding pass visible (I don't remember ever being addressed by name when checking in for a flight, business class or otherwise but I daresay it can happen).

Personally I'd rather spend a 13 hour flight quietly by myself, but you can still sit together provided you agree to both check in online and choose the seats you want (if you can be on the phone or Skype whilst you do this at the same time it should be pretty straightforward). I would want the cost of the flight as a deposit anyway, since I'd be writing off a weeks' work - there are various ways to do this and you can always get another prepaid card .

Gonna break the mould here and tell you my experience with abroad travel.
I have been on countless overnights with people I haven't met previously, and I spent 5 days in Portugal with someone who I had never met last month. Why? Because whatever anyone on this site says, no one will know your instincts better than you.
The way I do it, is to get the guy to book my flights under my name (9 out of 10 clients I see don't call me anything other than my real name now). When he emails you the flight details it will have the address his credit card is registered to on it. This is what I check out and if all looks well I have no issues.
I forward all details to my mum and keep in touch with her while I'm away. She know if my social media goes quiet to call me.
I know that almost everyone here will disagree with me on this, but since making up my own 'rules' I haven't had one single issue with clients bothering me.

I don't think anybody will disagree with you doing exactly what's right for you and what you're comfortable with FT . That's precisely what we're advising others to do here pretty much the whole time.

I'm extremely private and not comfortable passing on my legal name (even my first name) to clients so I don't, irrespective of how long I've known them - I get calls occasionally from punters who used to see another lady who worked in my town and refer to her by her legal first name rather than her work name, so she obviously wasn't bothered. I don't tell anybody I don't know my name, not even the people in Costa who write it on the paper cup when I buy a flat white.

You're happy doing it this way which is great, so you do. The OP doesn't want to, so we're trying to suggest ways she can take the booking and earn her money without having to compromise herself .
