About Us

From starting a travel agency out of a grocery store in the late 1800’s, to selling steamship and rail tickets, then to being one of the first travel agencies to embrace travel by air – the LaMacchia’s had their sights set on the future. LaMacchia Jet Stream is the next wave of change in this industry with one main goal in mind: to help travel advisors soar in this ever-changing industry. Trust us when we say we’re here to support our travel advisors for another 90+ years.

Our Mission

Our mission: be the host agency that travel advisors can grow their business with, and we really mean that. We’re as invested in your travel business, as we know you are with your own. Rather than being one travel advisor, in a host agency of thousands, we believe in ensuring that every advisor is heard and receives the attention and dedication that today’s travel advisor needs to position their business for the future.
