The first match of the Flight Centre Rugby Championships is almost here and we’re proud to be the official naming rights sponsor of the 2024 series. Andrew Stark, Flight Centre Global MD, said the sold-out crowd for this Saturday's test in Brisbane between the Wallabies and the Springboks is testament to the power of world-class sporting events. "Major world-class events like this are a key driver of travel so we’re exceptionally proud to bring the two together through our partnership with Rugby Australia. It is fitting that the first test will be held against the World Champions in front of a full capacity crowd in Brisbane, Australia, home of Flight Centre's Global HQ. We wish both teams a competitive series," he said.

Members of Flight Centre Travel Group's senior executive visited the Atlas Mountains in Morocco to see first-hand the progress of our Planting for the Planet reforestation initiative. Watch our 2-min mini-documentary of their visit to the Atlas Mountains project 👉 http://travl.to/6044lkjRY Planting for the Planet was launched in August 2023 and involves a contribution from Flight Centre customers toward the program as part of every purchase of a Flight Centre Captain’s Pack. Flight Centre Global Managing Director Andrew Stark said it was rewarding to visit Morocco and spend time with the communities directly impacted by the initiative. “I was overwhelmed seeing the many social and economic benefits the planting of a simple tree can foster in communities and humbled to meet with the locals of the Atlas Mountains who were incredibly welcoming and hospitable.".

Good news for Aussie travellers - the price of international flights is getting cheaper! 🎉 Flight Centre data shows an average price drop of 13% compared to last year – with prices falling across a number of popular destinations. Flight Centre Travel Group managing director, James Kavanagh said fares had now fallen for four quarters on the trot, in a trend he hopes will continue. “It’s welcome news all around, but particularly for those wanting to escape to Indonesia, Greece and Italy where we’ve seen the most significant drops,” said Mr Kavanagh. “Indonesia was down 18% which equates to an average saving of $182, Greece was down 13% or $389 and Italy was also down 13% or $365.”
