Travel Coordinator Services

Travel planning on New York shoots sits where one of the world's densest hospitality networks meets a four-airport regional system. That system pulls cast and crew through JFK, LaGuardia, Newark Liberty, and Teterboro in any given week. The coordinators on our roster have long-running ties with NYC corporate-travel agencies that serve Steiner, Silvercup, Kaufman Astoria, and Broadway Stages shoots. They agree production rates with Delta, United, American, JetBlue, and the global carriers at JFK Terminal 4 and Newark Terminal B. They also book the private aviation crews based at Teterboro for talent and executive moves.

They book Amtrak Acela seats along the Northeast Corridor for crew moves between Penn Station, Washington Union, and Boston South Station. They also plan LIRR, NJ Transit, and Metro-North trips for shoots that reach into Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and Connecticut.

On rooms, they source the full NYC range. That spans the Plaza, the St. Regis, the Pierre, the Carlyle, the Mark, the Greenwich Hotel, and 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, through the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, the Bowery Hotel, and the Soho Grand. It also covers the long-stay corporate apartments in Tribeca, the West Village, DUMBO, and Long Island City.

On a working production, our New York travel coordinators run itineraries for the full crew and cast across pre-production, principal photography, and wrap. They handle O-1, P-1, and H-2B visa filings for non-US cast and crew through immigration counsel and the US consular network in the talent's home country. They track I-94 entry records and manage ATA carnet logistics on gear that moves with the production team. They also set up arrival transfers at JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, and Teterboro, plus the AirTrain link at JFK and Newark.

They keep 24/7 lines open for last-minute rebookings when NYC weather, schedule shifts, or location changes ripple through the plan. They keep per-diem ledgers in step with IATSE and DGA East scale and run hotel block bookings with the force-majeure clauses set for NYC film work. They also work with the production accountants on Cast & Crew, Entertainment Partners, and Wrapbook payroll. That keeps travel costs flowing into Empire State Development PCN qualifying-spend filings for the 30 percent New York State Film Tax Credit plus the 10 percent NYC uplift.

They work with the production office on weekly travel manifests and brief incoming cast and crew on arrival logistics at JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, and Teterboro. Through wrap, they stay the on-call point for any issue that comes up. We match coordinators by scale, immigration complexity, and prior NYC tax-credit work.
