Talk to Gigi — not a call center.

Empyrean Travel is a full-service travel agency in Los Angeles, owned and run by Gigi Becker, providing travel management since 1984. It specializes in corporate travel management, French Polynesia and Africa, along with luxury and adventure trips. Empyrean is an affiliate of Andavo Travel, a Virtuoso member agency, and is a registered California Seller of Travel (CST #2100177).

Yes. Empyrean is not a call center. Gigi Becker personally researches, plans and books your trips, so you deal with one advisor who knows your preferences, your travel history and how you like to travel. That continuity matters most when plans change, because the person helping you already knows every detail of your itinerary.

Gigi responds personally within one business day. The fastest way to start is the enquiry form, which asks for your dates, destinations and travelers so the first reply can be useful. You can also email gigi@emptvl.com or call 310-480-5832. If your trip is coming up soon, mention your departure date so Gigi knows the timing.

Every trip is different, so Gigi will explain how planning is structured for your trip during your first conversation, before you commit to anything. For background on how the industry works, our guide to how travel advisors get paid explains supplier commissions, planning fees and why many travelers find an advisor adds value rather than cost.

Because Empyrean is affiliated with Andavo Travel, a Virtuoso member agency, eligible hotel bookings at Virtuoso partner properties come with extra amenities. These typically include daily breakfast for two, a property credit or amenity, a room upgrade and early check-in or late check-out when available, and Wi-Fi. Learn more in what is Virtuoso.
