A little about Flight Centre

Who are we? Glad you asked. We're the travel-obsessed Travel Experts. We're here to open up the world for those who want to see. Every day, we give people all around the world the opportunity to experience something really amazing—travel! We love what we do.

Experience is everything to us. In fact, we have over 38,475 collective years experience in travel. We started doing this thing over 40 years ago in Australia and haven't looked back since. In 1984 Flight Centre opened its doors in the UK, New Zealand in 1987, South Africa in 1994 and Canada in 1995.

Flights, stays, holidays, cruises, tours, you name it—we do it. Business travel? That's our business too. Complex tricky group bookings for a hard to organise event? Not a drama. If it's travel related, we are your people.

We're the flagship brand of Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG), an Australian born international travel company. It's recognised as one of the top five largest travel agencies in the world today with more than 2,000 leisure, corporate and wholesale businesses in 11 countries. Visit our parent Flight Centre Travel Group website here.

Read on and we'll share a bit about our amazing 40-year history and what is important to us...

40 years of taking off

It's been 40 years since we opened our very first store in Australia. What a ride it's been. During that time we've had our fair share of triumphs, challenges and of course, plenty of adventures. And, while we're no overnight success, thanks to our incredible teams and first-class customers, we're chuffed to be able to celebrate such a milestone.

Skroo (Graham Turner—our founder) and friend (Geoff "Spy" Lomas) buy a double-decker bus and take off on their first tour around Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

Fast forward your Sanyo cassette deck to the mid ‘70s and that one bus has multiplied like guinea pigs. Top Deck is born, operating in London, and the following year, in Brisbane, Australia.

Welcome to the '80s. Airlines have been deregulated and Skroo reckons Australia, the UK and NZ are ripe for the picking, which makes sense for a bloke who grew up on an apple farm. Flight Centre is born.

Flight Centre opens in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Frankie says Relax don't do it... but we did it anyway and Flight Centre opens in London

We say Kia Ora to our cousins across the ditch, and Flight Centre starts operations in New Zealand.

The Captain first appears (we've had 5 of those, ladies and gents, since!) and we introduce the famous "Lowest Airfare Guaranteed" slogan. Enquiry quadruples after trials on TV and press ads.

The '90s were all about Friends, Seinfeld, Guns n Roses and Flight Centre floating on the Australian Securities Exchange. We open in South Africa, Canada, the USA, and re-launch in the UK. We also welcome a number of new brands into the family.

Throw a shrimp on the braai, because Flight Centre opens in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Flight Centre opens shop in Vancouver, Canada. Profit surpasses $10M and Flight Centre goes public on the ASX. Flighties purchase over 25% of shares available and set an Australian record for take-up by in-house people.

We hold the first Flight Centre Airfare and Holiday Expo at the Brisbane Convention Centre. In our first year, over 8,000 customers attend. An additional 3,000 the following. In 1998, we start Expos across Australia and New Zealand.

The world and travel changed forever with 9/11, collapse of Ansett, GFC and the Iraq War. Many other businesses contracted during this time, our strategy was to keep growing and enter new markets. We also launched the Flight Centre Foundation, our give back program to the communities we work, operate and travel in.

The '10s is when we officially became the Flight Centre Travel Group, reflecting the company's transformation from its traditional roots as a travel agent to a world-class retailer of leisure and corporate travel products.

We immediately know it as the decade when the world stops, and then re-opens. 2020 international boarders shut, airlines ground their fleets, FLT temporarily suspends trading on the ASX and Flight Centre stands down over 15,000 employees. We issue over $1billion in customer refunds.

The future is bright, we've turned 40, launched our new tagline "Experience our experience", travel is back and we are flooded with new and returning customers ready to turn their travel dreams into a reality again.

A truly global company

With over 450 stores, 3500+ Travel Experts and a global website; you'll find us in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and the UK. You will find a heap of us working remotely too, we're truly a global business, helping our customers how and when they need us.

The Trophy Cabinet

Our commitments

Reconciliation We acknowledge the continuous journey towards reconciliation we contribute to in the countries in which we operate.

Foundation Our philanthropic roots were laid 40 years ago, and we continue to make meaningful contributions to charities around the world that support our company purpose, which is to open the world for those who want to see. The Flight Centre Foundation is our way of harnessing the collective goodness of our people, industry partners and customers to give back to the communities where we work, live and travel.

In the event your group does not meet the minimum of 10 passengers, this booking will be cancelled, any deposit will be forfeited, and passengers may contact Delta about creating a new booking as individual travelers, which will be for the fare available at that time.
• Any changes requested to the Group Contract will require a renegotiation of fare and terms. Additions to your group may be at a different fare from the main group.  Individual deviations from the group itinerary may be available with additional fees and payment of any additional airfare.  A nonrefundable booking fee may also apply as specified in your Group Contract.
• You are also responsible for compliance with any applicable laws or regulations in the discussion of these fares with your customers.
• The information regarding this group is confidential between the travel agent or group leader and Delta’s Group and Specialty Sales Center.  Therefore, no information will be given to, nor changes made on behalf of, individual group members.
• Group tickets are not eligible for SkyMiles upgrades, and mileage accrual will be according to the SkyMiles program accrual policy for unpublished or opaque fares.
• All travel pursuant to this reservation shall be subject to Delta's applicable contract of carriage (and general rules tariff) and all applicable fare rules and restrictions.
• All necessary travel documentation to comply with governmental travel requirements (e.g., passports and visas) are the responsibility of the passenger. DL is not liable for any travel issues resulting from lack of proper documentation.
• Delta reserves the right to change equipment or schedules without notice.

Deviation Policies:

A deviation is defined as a change to the date, time or routing.  Any deviations may be at a different fare from the main group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the main group must maintain group minimum requirements .  Your group may book deviations from the original group as follows:

• Prior to the group's utilization date an unlimited number of passengers may deviate from the group itinerary on either the outbound or the return at the applicable fare with no deviation fee.
• After the utilization date a maximum of 30% of the group may deviate on the outbound or return for a US$25.00 per person domestically and US$50.00 per person internationally nonrefundable deviation fee plus the applicable fare difference.
• The percentage of passengers who may deviate is based on the total number of seats held by the group at utilization date.
• Feeders (passengers wishing to travel from a different city connecting to the main group travel segment(s)) are not included in this limitation and may be done at any time prior to ticketing at the applicable fare for the new itinerary.
• A credit card is the only acceptable form of payment for deviations and is required at the time the deviation is booked.
• Passengers may make changes after ticketing at the applicable fare upon payment of the applicable ticket change or reissue fee plus any difference in fare.
• Once travel has commenced routing changes are not permitted.  Changes to the return travel date or time only will be permitted at the applicable fare with the appropriate ticket reissue fee and any difference in fare.

Utilization Policy:

In consideration for Delta's agreement to hold this seat inventory for your group, you agree to pay Delta a cancellation fee listed on your contract per seat, assessed from the deposit, if you fail to comply with the ticketing deadlines and/or if you fail to use at least the utilization percentage of the seats that we have reserved for you, as specified in your contract.

If there is no Deposit Due date, no deposit funds are due. The following policy applies only if a deposit is collected:

• If your group does not meet the minimum of 10 or individual members do not travel with the group, (a) the deposit will be forfeited and (b) passengers will be considered individual travelers and must be ticketed at the applicable fare.

If the Utilization is listed as 100%, the deposit will be refunded for ticketed passengers only.

If you fail to use at least the utilization requirement percentage of the seats that we have reserved for you, the amount of the cancellation fee will be calculated as follows:

• It is your responsibility to obtain a cancellation reference number from Delta for complete cancellations. Delta's business records will conclusively determine the time and date of any cancellation.
• Partial cancellations do not require a cancellation reference number.
• A new confirmation letter will be distributed at the time of any reductions, deviations, feeder additions or other itinerary changes.
• Until the last day to cancel/reduce without penalty:  100% of the seats may be cancelled without a cancellation fee.
• Except to the extent otherwise expressly specified in your contract, from the last day to cancel/reduce without penalty until 60 days before departure:  must maintain the minimum main group utilization requirement percentage of seats held for a full deposit refund.
• If you use some, but less than utilization requirement percentage, of the seats held, you will be charged the cancellation fee specified in your Group Contract for each seat below the utilization requirement percentage minimum.
• If  all  the seats on your reservation are cancelled after the utilization date specified in your contract, the entire deposit will be forfeited.
• 60 days or less before departure: Deposits will be refunded for ticketed passengers only within 60 days of the commencement of travel.
• Any applicable cancellation fee will be collected from the deposit on file.

Any and all matters arising out of or relating to the Group Contract and/or the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and, to the extent not preempted by Federal law, the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflict of law principles, regardless of the legal theory upon which such matter is asserted. The Group Contract, including the Ticket, Fare Rules, and Contract of Carriage as applicable, represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to transportation pursuant to this Agreement, and shall supersede all prior representations, understandings or agreements pertaining thereto, either oral or written. No other covenants, warranties, undertakings or understandings may be implied, in law or in equity. 

Delta shall not be liable for any punitive, consequential or special damages arising out of or in connection with the Group Contract, carriage or other services performed by Delta, whether or not Delta had knowledge that such damage might be incurred.  Delta shall not be liable for any damage arising out of its compliance with any laws, government regulations, orders, rules, requirements or security directives or as a result of a passenger’s failure to comply with such laws, government regulations, orders, rules, requirements or security directives or as a result of a passenger’s reliance on advice provided by Delta regarding such laws, regulations, orders, rules, requirements or security directives.  Election or failure by Delta to enforce any provision of the Group Contract shall not constitute a waiver of its rights and remedies with regard to such provision or any other provision.   No agent, servant, or representative of Delta has authority to alter, modify, or waive any provisions of the Group Contract or these Terms and Conditions.

Flight Centre Travel Group Half-Year FY24 Financial Results

Flight centre travel group (asx:flt) achieved an au$106 million underlying profit before tax (pbt) for the half year to december 31, 2023..

The leisure business’s AU$60 million underlying PBT exceeded pre-pandemic levels and was:

• Circa 30-times the AU$2 million FY23 first half (1H) result; and

• Double the AU$30 million FY19 1H underlying PBT.

Underlying corporate PBT increased 53 percent to AU$93 million, during another period of healthy, organic growth and ahead of the Productive Operations initiative’s benefits being realized.

Total transaction value (TTV) increased 15 percent to AU$11.3 billion, delivering FCTG's second-strongest start to a year (behind only the FY20 1H).

Corporate TTV increased 16.8 percent to a record AU$5.9 billion, as the business again achieved new sales milestones and comfortably outpaced the broader corporate travel sector’s recovery.

Leisure TTV increased 18 percent to AU$5.2 billion, with scale benefits achieved across a diverse mass market, including luxury, complementary, and independent brand ranges.

Comments by Charlene Leiss, President of the Americas, Flight Centre Travel Group :

“We continue to experience tremendous growth over the first half of the fiscal year, with both our corporate and leisure businesses delivering increased revenue across the Americas.

“Our flagship business travel divisions Corporate Traveler and FCM Travel continue to set a high bar for business travel across the globe, as our North American corporate division is now the company’s largest operation.

“To further build upon this momentum, we’ve taken exciting steps over the last several months to ensure we’re set up for continued success in our best performing sectors.

“Our plans we have put in place across the corporate and leisure sides of the business will enable us to better identify opportunities for growth, improve efficiency, and drive value to our customers, as we look to ultimately maximize our potential in the U.S.

“We’ve begun to fast track our expansion in the SME corporate sector through a new regional structure has allowed us to start to expand our Corporate Traveler footprint across the country.

“With key hubs now set up in Boston/New York, Chicago, and Southern California, we’re able to attract more customers and more quickly grow our share of the SME market, one of the fastest-growing segments within the industry.

“On the FCM side, we’ve continued to focus on our work on productive operations, as we look to digitalize our operating model to help lower costs and grow income. Our commitment to improving our productive operations will not only enhance our service offering, but also optimize efficiency and increase scalability.

“During the first half, we also made a significant artificial intelligence push with the launch of an ‘AI Center of Excellence,’ a new global division that is focusing on promoting, adopting, and integrating AI technologies into our corporate divisions.

“Our impressive work in the technology space continues to be unmatched, as well as being integral to the ongoing success of our leading digital platforms, Melon and FCM Platform, which have allowed us to accelerate our corporate growth and transform the customer experience.

“In the year ahead, we’ll look to capitalize on the strong leisure opportunities in the U.S. market as well, with a renewed focus on both the independent and luxury sectors, through the new Envoyage brand and Scott Dunn, respectively. Just launched this week, Envoyage will serve as the new global home for the company's independent travel agents and agencies.

“Given our recent growth trajectory and proven track record of innovation, we’re excited about the future potential of the business and opportunity to further grow our market share across the country.”

Comments by Chris Galanty, Global CEO, Flight Centre Corporat e:

“ Our corporate businesses have had a strong start to H1 of FY24 globally, contributing 52 percent of Flight Centre Travel Group’s (ASX:FLT) total transaction value, with our proven organic growth model again delivering record overall sales.    

"We’ve also achieved new milestones in the four geographic regions of Australia and New Zealand, the Americas, Europe, and Middle East and Africa and Asia.  

“These record results, built on high customer retention rates and large volumes of new account wins, were achieved in a sector that has only recovered to circa 70 percent of pre-COVID transaction volume levels, pointing to our healthy market-share growth.

“At the end of January 2024, our corporate brands had secured new accounts with projected annual spends of circa AU$1.3 billion, with FCM Travel typically winning customers from competitors, and Corporate Traveler securing a mix of unmanaged and smaller, managed accounts.

“We continue to make strides in the technology space with mass adoption of our Corporate Traveler Melon platform in the USA and Canada – with fast growth also being seen in the UK. FCM Platform has also seen successful growth with all existing customers anticipated to be migrated this year.

“We’re also progressing our corporate AI Center of Excellence  and that has seen new features added to the suite of products already available that have improved the customer experience and increased our operational productivity.

“Aside from technology, we’ve also been working tirelessly towards clear and consistent strategies that have been successfully executed globally, with these strategies initially focusing on ‘Grow to Win’, but now also include productive operations.

“We look forward to continuing this momentum into H2 of FY24 – with more exciting advancements to come later in the year – and some major customers to be onboarded globally.”

Federal Government to crackdown on Australian airlines

It’s something Aussie passengers have been waiting a very long time for following a massive move that will see airlines forced to compensate customers.

Qantas sells 300 first class fares by mistake

First class passenger’s brazen act divides

China’s big move as Qantas pulls out

Australian airline customers could soon receive compensation for delayed and cancelled flights under a major overhaul of passenger protections.

It’s something Aussie travellers have long battled with airlines over but that could soon change with the Albanese Government planning to establish a new watchdog — The Aviation Industry Ombudsman — to clamp down on the sector.

The external dispute resolution service would be able to force airlines and airports to provide compensation to consumers, publish reports on airline and airport behaviour — naming and shaming companies doing the wrong thing — and refer alleged misconduct to authorities.

Under the scheme, airlines will also have to explain the reasons behind flight disruptions as part of their regular reporting to the Federal Government.

The government has been examining options to hold airlines accountable amid an influx of passenger frustrations following cancelled flights and difficulties extracting refunds or travel credits out of the carriers.

It plans to pass laws for the creation of the new watchdog next year, with an interim Ombudsman to be appointed in the meantime.

The reforms will be announced at a press conference in Parliament House on Monday morning.

Adam Glezer, from Consumer Champion , has pushed for a compensation scheme for four years.

“This is something I have been pushing for since 2020,” he said. ”It is definitely a step in the right direction.

“I’ve spoken to thousands of people that have been frustrated due to significant flight delays and cancellations and have been offered absolutely nothing in return.”

He said the lengthy refund process causes passengers significant amounts of stress and has had some clients battle for close to two years to navigate their way through the “minefield of a refund”.

“They have spent years attempting to get a refund because the process is so difficult.”

“I am ecstatic the penny has finally dropped with the government and they’ve realised that customers need rights.”

Currently, Australia’s reimbursement offers are behind the rest of the world, with the UK, Europe and Canada all offering compensation models.

For example – inconvenienced passengers in Europe are entitled to between $A386 and $A926 (depending on the distance of the flight), if a flight is delayed by at least three hours with less than two weeks’ notice.

They are also entitled to free drinks and food at the airport if their flight departs late, and free accommodation and transport if it is delayed until the next day.

However, compensation rules do not apply in situations where extraordinary circumstances, such as poor weather, caused the delays.

In Australia, it’s not as generous with passengers only covered under consumer protection law and Mr Glezer said it needs to change.

He said what’s particularly important is having strict timelines where refunds have to be processed.

“As it stands airlines can say they will offer a refund to customers, but it can take months or years.”

A charter of passenger rights will also be drafted, setting out what refunds’ customers will be entitled to when their flights are delayed or cancelled.

Under the new scheme, a charter of passenger rights will also be drafted, setting out what refunds’ customers will be entitled to when their flights are delayed or cancelled.

Federal Transport Minister Catherine King said customers deserve to get their money back if they are owed it.

“It is time to take strong action to protect consumer rights,” Ms King said.

“Too many Australians have been left out to dry when flights are cancelled or disrupted and it’s impossibly complex to get a refund or even contact a company representative.”

The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) is also welcoming the new scheme.

ATIA CEO Dean Long said it is a crucial step forward in protecting consumer rights, ensuring that airlines and airports meet their obligations.

“Too many Australians have been left stranded when flights are cancelled or delayed, with little recourse. This new scheme ensures that travellers will no longer face these challenges alone,” Mr Long said.

Aussies have snapped up hundreds of long-haul first class fares for just $4300 return – but it is not as it seems.

A first class passenger on an Emirates flight has shared a now viral TikTok admitting to this brazen act – and it’s sparked a plane etiquette debate.

Chinese airlines are making a big move in Australia as part of a “long term game” after Qantas scrapped a specific route amid low demand.
