"Just wanted to drop you a line letting you know how much Marta and I enjoyed our trip to France. The trip package you provided was perfect, pretty amazing considering it was the inaugural Ironman France. It was great making new friends with everyone in our group as well as reacquainting with old friends. Having you around the whole time was a lot of fun and added to the experience. The pool party on Sunday was fantastic and should be a regular event. The accommodations were also first rate and the food was outstanding. Already looking forward to next year. Based on our Ironman Austria and France trips I know whatever race we decide to do next year that everything will be first rate. Thanks again."
Brian Salter - Jacksonville, Florida - Ironman France 2002

"If any team members are traveling to races anywhere in the World I highly recommend Premium Plus Sports for your travel arrangements... they have the pulse on what's going on with these races. Personally I have used PPS for the two of the three trips I have made to the Hawaii Ironman and everything was great. They run a first class travel business and are the Athletes Travel Company. My friends also have used PPS to get to IM New Zealand and we know how much fun they had!"
Brian Hasenbauer - Dallas, Texas IM Kona 2000-2001

"Thanks again for doing a great job for us in France. I enjoyed being part of the group. I've been staying in touch with many of them. The party you hosted on Sunday after the race was terrific! I have a friend that just qualified for Hawaii and I will encourage her to make her travel arrangements through you.
- Chris Davis Tampa, FL - IM France 2002

"One perk of using PPS (and there were many) was having a pro triathlete as one of our tour leaders. Belinda Cheney (she won IM Malaysia and did very well in the recent IM Australia--but due to an injury couldn't compete on the run) helped us at IMNZ with "course recon" before the race. And both Belinda and Rupa were out there cheering for everyone."
-Kara Thom - Dallas, Texas IM NZ 2002

“I find myself at a loss for words to adequately and properly thank you for having made this such a great trip. I will remember this experience for the rest of my life… I look forward to other trips with you.”
-G. Bowers, Ironman Australia 2000 - Shreveport, Louisiana

-D. Yates, President - World Triathlon Corporation

“Premium Plus Sports has been handling my travel arrangements to the Ironman race in Kona for the last 4-5 years. I’m glad to recommend them, to other triathletes. They’ve always provided excellent service and prompt response time. I have full confidence that they’ll get me the most economical airfares and accommodations. Their on-site knowledge, experience and familiarity with the Ironman mean an ease of booking which I couldn’t find else where.”
-S. Tinley, 1st place Men’s Ironman 1982, 1985

Kara Thom, Recent IM New Zealand 2002 and past PPS client
"One perk of using PPS (and there were many) was having a pro triathlete as one of our tour leaders. Belinda Cheney (she won IM Malaysia and did very well in the recent IM Australia--but due to an injury couldn't compete on the run) helped us at IMNZ with "course recon" before the race. She rode with us stopping at various junctures to point out certain nuances (like turns that weren't well marked or where we'd be merging with bike traffic, etc.) And both Belinda and Rupa were out there cheering for everyone. PPS may not have a pro on hand at every race you travel to with them, but they definitely have you, the athlete, in mind". --Kara


"I was most grateful to be part of an awesome group… The entire experience was a dream. Today I look at my medal with complete pride. I'm very grateful for the experience and am ecstatic that we decided to go with Premium Plus sports. They helped make it an enjoyable and a wonderful time. "
