Booking for plus-size clients
can feel like a minefield.
- You know the airplane seat matters, but you are not sure what else you should be checking.
- Supplier websites rarely include the measurements or details you actually need.
- You worry about recommending an experience that may not be comfortable for your client.
- You are unsure how to ask thoughtful questions without making the conversation awkward.
- You do not want to make assumptions, but you also do not want to miss something important.
- You want to confidently say, “I have thought this through,” instead of hoping everything works.
There's no program that teaches you how to ask the hard questions with compassion, stay current on regulations, and book with real dignity, until now.

Beyond the Seat Is For You If...

- You want to ask the right questions but worry about saying the wrong thing
- You're tired of guessing whether a hotel room or excursion will actually work

You don't need a clinical background and you don't need years of experience with this specific population.
You just need to be ready to learn how to do this right.
Become a Travel Ready™ Plus-Size Travel SpecialistWho We Are
Be Brave Travel Academy was founded by April Day Garcia and Michelle Balcarcel, two Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants who both still work in rehab today.
April is also a travel advisor, and it was in that world where she noticed a real gap in the industry. Travel advisors are training to sell destinations first and people second. Advisors are trained on where to send someone, rarely on who that person actually is and what their body needs to enjoy getting there.
That's the gap this course was built to close. It's not another destination guide. It's a way to plan travel around the traveler.
What advisors are saying about Travel Ready™
"This course is extremely helpful in preparing you for the complex world of accessible travel. The preprinted forms also help simplify the planning process."
- Derrick Shockey, Travel Advisor
"The most valuable content is truly the proper verbiage and questions to ask both clients and travel suppliers, as well as the handouts. The caregiver information was also fantastic and will allow me to ask even better, more tailored questions with both clients and travel industry partners."
- Julia Houtchings, Rainbow Getaways

Become the Advisor Who Plans Beyond the Seat
The best travel advisors don't just know destinations.
They know how to create travel experiences that truly fit the people they serve.
When you understand how body size can influence comfort, participation, and the overall travel experience, you're able to ask better questions, anticipate challenges before they happen, and recommend trips with greater confidence.
That's the kind of expertise clients remember.
It's the kind of service that leads to referrals, repeat business, and a reputation for thoughtful planning.
If you're ready to move beyond simply booking travel and become the advisor clients trust to understand their unique needs, Beyond the Seat is the next step.
