Client to fly provider across country for service

[ICTJOCK]

So I was just curious about views by both client on provider on a client providing transportation  (flying)  a provider across the country for service or for a weekend getaway?      I'm sure it happens all the time.

I have been flown to Toronto for a weekend,  but that followed considerable discussion.   It was a great experience for me and all worked well.    I have had others in the "talking stage" about services and transportation,   but I tend to approach it very carefully.   

Thoughts?   Experiences?

I'm sure it's different for lots of folks but for me, historically if someone wants to see me overnight interstate, airfare has always been provided by clients. Not that I stay in too many hotels anymore but an exception would be if I was going to a city that was compromised of loads ( no pun intended ) of hourly visits I would sometimes book my own travel  arrangements but that's the exception not the norm. Used to be that some people would make a fuss that if they were flying you interstate they took issue with you staying longer to see other folks but I've not run into that issue in years. Most folks I see want to see me maximize my earnings and incidentally often encourage me to stay longer and choose a return date of my own.

Great question.    I prefer extended weekends and such.   
Glad it worked well for you !!!!! That’s always the goal and prefer seeing more often then one and done.  
Cheers to you !!!

It's the mainstay of how I run my business.  I fly to the guys I see on a weekly basis in a regular rotation.

At some point in initial email/phone conversations, there's that leap of faith moment.  You just have to trust your gut and go with it (or read the signs and excuse yourself).

I recommend you requiring an unknown client to first make an electronic deposit equal to airfare, which you can then buy the ticket yourself without worry about giving up too much personal information to a total stranger. 

If the meeting goes well, you two can figure out how you want to handle the exchange of info for future meets.

Protect yourself.  Protect your business.  Always have the resources to get out quick if things go to hell.

As a client, escorts have flown to visit me (or meet in travel destination) once or twice a year.  I feel if I'm requesting them to visit me, I'm willing to cover the airfare.  I've found sometimes when meeting in a destination other than my hometown, I don't mind a provider extending their stay beyond our time together.  Sometimes, flying in a day earlier, it gives us more time together on the first day, or lessens the rush to the airport on the last day.  It can also provide some cost savings on the airfare as it may allow you to avoid a high demand travel date where airfares are higher.

That is different than an escort contacting me to see if I've been interested in a session if he was visiting my hometown.  In those cases I would expect the provider to cover his travel expenses.

Thanks very much.   Great answer and jives with my thinking as well.
