Imperial Travel Consultants llc

The fifth-floor Madison Avenue office has long been a quiet waypoint for anyone chasing the next ticket out of town. The cluster of desks at Imperial Travel Consultants llc specializes in stitching together trips that most of us wouldn’t dare research on our own—bulk airfare for a dozen colleagues bound for Berlin, a last-minute connection through Nairobi, or a week-long hop across Southeast Asia.

Needing a visa stamp or a charter quote usually lands travelers here faster than a Broadway ticket resale. They’ll price open-jaw flights, hunt down overland passes, extend a business trip into a weekend of mountain biking, or just line up a replacement itinerary when a change of plans hits in the middle of a layover. The agency is based at 232 Madison Avenue #608, within earshot of the Empire Building clock tower.

A quick call or a walk-in stop is often all it takes to untangle the next reservation. Call (646) 216-8816 and hand over the dates or the vague travel dream—special-rate cruises, travel insurance, group reservations, or weekday-only trains to the Hamptons can usually be quoted on the spot.

If the street-level traffic below feels overwhelming, pull up the directions beforehand and let the elevator carry you straight up to suite 608 for a seat at a desk rather than a curb.
