FMTY stands for Fly Me To You, an arrangement in which a client brings a companion to his own city rather than travelling to hers. The client covers the flights, the accommodation, and her time for the duration of the visit. It is the counterpart to a travel companion booking, differing only in who does the travelling.

A travel companion is booked to accompany a client away from home, for a weekend, a week, or the length of a business trip. It is the longest and most involved of the standard formats, committing days of a companion's calendar rather than hours of her evening. Arranged well in advance and priced by the day, it asks for a compatibility that shorter bookings never have to test.

An overnight is the longest and least hurried of the standard formats, a booking that runs through the night rather than for a fixed few hours. That length changes everything: dinner, conversation, sleep, and an unrushed morning become part of the evening rather than additions to it. It is the format that gives warmth the room it needs, which is why it pairs so naturally with a genuine Girlfriend Experience.

A duo is a booking shared with two companions at once, and it is the format where the high-end market's theatre is most on display. Less common than a one-to-one engagement and considerably more involved to arrange, a duo trades on the chemistry between the two women as much as the connection with the client. What it involves, as ever, is set by the companions themselves.

The dinner date is the most civilised format in high-end companionship and the one that translates most naturally to the outside world. It describes an evening built around a table: good food, better conversation, and the pleasure of arriving somewhere with someone worth arriving with. What follows the meal, if anything, is arranged between two people; the dinner itself is never merely the prelude.

The Pornstar Experience, almost always shortened to PSE, is the Girlfriend Experience's opposite number: where one trades on warmth, the other trades on intensity. It describes an encounter defined by energy, confidence, and a more uninhibited physical register, closer to spectacle than to romance. The name is borrowed from adult film, but the reality has less to do with imitation than with attitude.

The Girlfriend Experience, universally shortened to GFE, is the most requested style of companionship in the high-end market and the hardest to reduce to a definition. It describes an encounter built on genuine warmth and connection rather than a transaction, closer to an evening with a lover than a booking with a stranger. What it includes varies with every companion, which is why the term signals an approach rather than a fixed set of services.
