I'm not a newbie. I've actually been in the hobby for many years, and I've experienced all kinds of engagements including incalls, outcalls, PSEs, agencies, independents, etc. But one thing I have never done is fly-me-to-you. I see that advertised a lot these days. There are very tempting options out there. But intuitively it seems too much of a risk. But I would like to know more about it. How does it work? Do you transfer cash and she buys the flight and hotel? Or do you buy the flight and hotel in your name for her? Or do you pay part of the travel fees upfront, and the rest upon the encounter?  The thing that makes me hesitate is that every new encounter comes with some inherent risk, she may not be the girl in the picture, she may not look as good, or the service may not be good. But it's a risk that is part of this hobby and I've wasted a lot of money in this hobby. But to pay that much money in advance for travel and be disappointed seems like too much risk. Is this done frequently these days? What kind of travel fees are requested? Do they demand first class and 5 star hotel, or is budget travel considered acceptable? What's to stop someone from scamming you entirely, it's not like the money is in escrow.  Would appreciate any feedback and info about procedures and experiences.
