f you knew the guy, and got along pretty well with him, would you go for this pitch?  

as well as my family and/or real job (losing money twice) I will go with my friends and pay my own way. When you typed "nominal fee" that connotes you're trying to get a discount in exchange for a trip. News flash... escorts are PAID to escort you wherever you go, so unless a girl is just desperate for a vacation, I can't see why a provider would go for this especially if you've never met her.  

Nobody is going anywhere with you for a "nominal fee." Most ladies who do this have a rate structure for it, which contemplates not only the time they have to spend with you (you think of it as them only "working" an hour or two a day but for them it means being "on" every waking hour), but also the opportunity cost of not being able able to take many shorter appointments. It's not a dream vacation for them, it's work. I don't find trade shows fun, even if they're in Cancun; it's work and while there might be a moment or two of enjoyment I would not go if my employer said "hey, you're going to Cancun so we're going to suspend your regular salary and pay you a nominal fee in addition to picking up your expenses, but be sure to schmooze all your drunk clients while you're there." Does that help put things in perspective?

I am all for a barter, but if I want a free vacation I just put an ad up for the city I want to visit lol. Presto... free vacation and I don't have to have someone up my ass 24/7. That's the entire point of being an escort. We don't need anyone to take us on vacation, but if you want to pay for a girl's touring expenses to get her to the city in exchange for x amount of time to make up for that, I can bet many would go for that type of deal because they are not losing money by seeing you that way.

Thanks for the responses, ladies.  

"Hey, let's go to XYZ exotic location together for 5 days/4 nights together.  Food, travel, and lodging are all included, in exchange for daytime company plus services rendered, as discussed and agreed upon before hand.  What would be your rate?"

for something like that, hire a foreign gal if money is a concern, it will save you a bundle.  Loved Arovet's reply, only thing that makes my conferences tolerable, regardless of where they are, is the P4P 😄

(of a price, consideration, etc.) named as a mere matter of form, being trifling in comparison with the actual value; minimal.

Sounds like a deal I would give my ex husband (S) lol. E.

Ok, in all honesty... if any of you can get me VIP passes to the next Breaking Benjamin concert when the new album is released in June and touring starts, I will do whatever you want bwhahahaha. Just sayin.

"Daytime companionship" + "services rendered" = work. You gotta pay for that, dude.

It depends upon the client, upon what else I have going on (classes, other work), and especially, it depends upon the ‘nominal fee’. The location doesn’t really matter, as I do travel on my own time to places of my own choosing. I’m a very idiosyncratic traveler, in terms of where I like to go, and how I like to spend my time. I prefer traveling alone and staying in non-turistic, inexpensive locations. I like doing things on my own schedule, according to my own whims. So even if you’re literally offering me a week on a luxury private yacht in the Mediterranean, with stops in several famous European cities…I won’t be able to spend it the way I’d like to, had I been left up to my own devices. To me, it will feel like a Las Vegas casino must feel to one of those hostesses…cool atmosphere, cool guy, great perks, but I’m at WORK! I’m here to entertain my client all night at the poker tables…I can’t play, myself.

on the cheap side to me, but it really depends upon on her market, and how busy she is.  

Say you are a freelancer.  Let's say, you build fences for a living.

Recently I mentioned to my ATF about spending a week in London together. She was very excited about the idea (we're both anglophiles). It hasn't moved forward to the point of discussing her rate, but I was anticipating somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000.

if it is someone I don't know or don't know well then I have a rate for that though I do tend to allow a little negotiation if the trip entices me.   If I know the guest well, and he knows it is somewhere I want to go then likely he would get a deal on my time but there are limits there as well.  

FYI, I didn't read anything but the first post. Going to do that now, haha!

Nominal Fee- No. My fee for extended time together, OF COURSE!

Not sure why anyone would pay $ 5k for anyone's time like this.  But I've seen these OP's for years.

When I used "if he's still paying" that was not meant to imply he might not paying.  Instead, it was to trigger the connection that it's not a lovey-dovey romance of the heart type of event.  Just because someone has a provider join them on a vacation does not mean it's a real romance, and the client should respect those boundaries both during and after their time together.

If some moron pays a gal $ 5k for a 5 day gig...that's typically 4x (or more) than what she'd earn sitting at home doing nothing.  I understand that you (or any gal) would want XXX for the inconvenience of pretending to like the guy and have pretend fun for that timeframe.

We have an agreed upon per day rate that is equivelent to a multi hour and all food and lodging is on him. I handle airfare unless we are able to travel together. But I still plan on working, which is always fine, and doing what I want; the together activities are often agreed upon over breakfast. All in all not bad, we have had this set up for a while. For me, it is a vacation with perks. Bonus if I get to pick the location which has happened also.  

Is that something that immaterial? Or time frame and circumstances dictate that so and so costs money? There is mere no difference between love story and paid date. Love story usually costs more. Do not be so serious. Credit-debit cards. Everything will be just fine.

I once took a slightly-more-than-nominal rate to go out for a few days on a well known private yacht.  However, it was with a regular overnight client.

And your description of a typical week for someone at 500/hr is reasonable.  However unless she's got confirmed gigs that would be unusual for her, 5k for a week is huge.

Offer her a few thousand to go...she'll be happy to take it.

There are many factors at play, but the provider's lost income is perhaps the most important.  If you have a regular with a good connection and you take her to a great place and pamper her, she may cut you some slack in her price.  The best opportunity probably would be with a part-time provider who has a day job and gets paid vacation.  

...merely flippant dismissive replies (truth be told, this is much more of a Newbie Board type question).
I'm impressed with the thought - and restraint - that went into this!
Well done.

I can't imagine why anybody would want to be stuck with me for 5 days, either. If I'm home all day, even for just one day...my pet is like, GET THE FUCK OUT of my living room. OK, you can feed me, but then PLEASE just GET LOST.

and no many of us do not make that much on a given week.  However we are not usually at someone's beck and call expected to cater to someone else's needs/desires 24/7 including "services rendered" multiple times a day as well.  For me 5k for 5 days would depend on how well I knew the guy, how much freedom he would give me to do what I want to do, as well as if I actually WANTED to go to that location in the 1st place.  Not all money is good money and feeling under paid at only 75$ per waking hour is not a sexy feeling either especially if I am expected to preform over and over and over every day.  No way, I would rather be broke sitting at home making no money then deal with all that.

he has too much money.

Most of the gals I know don't do them...simply because of the issues of not being able to breathe.

It was with a long time client, been with him since 2009 or so. I went with him on his business trip for 4 days 3 nights. He paid for everything, food, shopping spree, etc etc. I in fact didn't even need my wallet but I did bring my ID. He did give me a few hundred dollars and said here you go. It was much lower than what I would have charged normally. Why did I do it? Because he helped me out years before when I was in a bad situation, actually let me state situationS! I have never been full time doing escorting. There was a long stretch when I was working off and on and then had a civilian job. What I got paid at that job in a week, I could make in half a day as an escort but the job had insurance benefits and other great things that I wanted. I won't go into the things that he helped me out with during those dry times but it was plenty. Not one time did he ever say, well I will do this but you suck my dick or something. Never. Never. Not once. He never even hinted at it. He genuinely wanted to help me and my family and he did. I never forgot that generosity. Being there for me when no one was and helping me to get on my feet, yeah worth it. When he asked about the trip I said let's go! He told me what he would give me. I said ok. I just remembered how he bailed me out without expecting anything extra. Helping me out when I thought that I couldn't get out! It was fine. I went with him twice over two years same deal, same price but what he did for me previously was priceless.

First there is no "normal" in this game.

...comes with paid leave but meh the job of an escort doesn't exactly come with that benefit.  
I'm going to Hawaii in late October and looking to do Japan next year. I can pay for that easy myself....even if a client covers a vacation and other expenses I'm guessing he'll also want quite a bit of "service" so um yeah that'll be extra (lol).

If it happens, I'll start at $3K and see if she laughs. I paid twice that for four hours, though, and she got to go home to her dog.

If you don't have these 5k, this doesn't mean that other person doesn't. I am sorry, but it sounds that you simply doesn't have it. Then make it and after we will discuss the value of the money and what a fair amount is for someone time and companionship. What will happen if you win a lottery? You still be whining on these boards or you through the party with blackjack and ladies? Oh common, enlighten

Loved it.  

You comment that you were looking at gals in the 300-500 range.  So let's use 500x4=2000.

not sure why you didn't get it from my last post but hun, there is a huge difference between what a lady would make at home in a given week and what she would charge to go on a trip with someone.  If she wanted to just make what she normally would in a given week she would stay at home and make it.  If she gets asked on a trip to cater to a guest and spend 24/7 with him because she would not be doing that at home.  

Now I'm waiting to see if I can collect on an outstanding bet.  Then it'll be off to McD's for a feast fit for a King  LOL

If he finds that his money is well spent, that means that they are spent well

That's what my post was commenting on.  I know quite a few gals who command some serious coin for rates.  I also know quite a few in the mid range of 300-500/hr.  Ironically the stories of vacation gigs comes up from time to time...and being they seem to like to talk to me...I'll reiterate that for ANY gal to get 15k+ for a week is so rare...that I'll  still consider it a "once in a lifetime" for nearly every gal here.

And what do you do with the money? They are just working?

Simple offer and acceptance (or nonacceptance).  John should figure out what it's worth to him to have Jane accompany him on a vacation.  Once the offer is made Jane can either refuse outright or counter-offer.  And we go from there.   John needs to be prepared for her to say no, but such is life...  I have no doubt if the answer is no, that one woman's floor will be another woman's ceiling if he keeps looking. It's just a matter of how important female companionship is to him for a few days compared to a little extra salad in his bank account

Make a suggestion...I'm all ears  

Will you take me to McD's and spend $ 750 for a Big Mac?

I would say it is only not the norm because it is not normal for a guy to commit to a longer time frame(unless he is trying to get one over on the lady), usually the girls I have heard about with extended multi day dates are doing 2-4days and not a full week.  There is at least 1 lady that regularly gets 10k for week trips, I can't remember her name off the top of my head though but I have heard about her via BC and her VERY successful business model.

May indeed contact the dude with a request to still "make it happen".

You are doing some math lacking oxygen. And this thing of ours is more delicate, there is a human factor in it. And I would say 5000 for 5 days is what it is worth.

But I'll pay 10 if I really want to eat.

she might be the type to up her offer if she considers the 1st offer insulting.  6grand for 4hrs is 1500hr, not in line with a 300-500$ pro by any means.  Good luck with your offer

Too much time to be on the clock. A nominal fee? That might cover my extended time away from home, however I would charge every time we had sex my normal rate. He is also paying for the extended company and someone to do shit with.  

I need so much alone time and forget sleeping with someone...nope separate rooms so I can sleep. even dating in real life, I need to sleep and alone is the best. I really can't tolerate too much time around people and that's with peeps  I really like. I am more quality versus quantity.

The only time I have ever felt differently, was when I was in the first stages of LOVE (or more accurately, infatuation). That's when I can't get enough of someone, to the point that I don't even care about sleep.... that wears off after, like, a month.  

I get bored after 6 months. That is now my duration for a "relationship". Much longer and I just lose complete interest.  

Or charge him every time he wants to get laid.

I don't want to sleep with anyone but myself.  I will not subject anyone to waking up with me. I'm really, really selfish.  Alone time is good.

Mainly, I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

I swear the looks I get when I get up and get dressed to go home...this is civvie shit I am talking about. I love my space and my bed and my bathroom. I have no problem leaving at an ungodly hour just to be alone.

I could fuck up a cup of coffee tonight.  

Ahem, about those VIP passes to Breaking Benjamin?

Well yah. They suck at being husbands or boyfriends, but make great sugar daddies. I dig it. They want the vagina and no drama, and I want the money... done deal. There is always a way to compromise ha ha.

I think you have used the exact right word, now if ladies applied that.... lol

Many businesses show appreciation for repeat business and, since you have made it clear that this is just a business to you, why would you get pissed if a regular asked for a discount?  Like you, he is merely treating the transaction as a business deal  and looking for the best deal possible.  You can't have it both ways.  Therefore it is unreasonable to be offended and hurt by an attempted negotiation.

Newsflash: It's not a real relationship since I had to spell it out for you. And yes, asking me for a discount is rate haggling, which I'll have no part of. It's cheap and fucking plain ass rude. My rates are not negotiable. To think because you've seen me before earns you some right in the form of a discount is purely idiotic. I'm not a large corporations giving out freebies, dude.
