Branded

Flight Centre Independent

Flight Centre Branded is an independent model within the Flight Centre brand that enables experienced travel experts to operate their own travel business with the backing of an international travel company. You sell premium travel with FCTG’s negotiated content, managing your customers, using Flight Centre’s operating and banking systems. The commission split is 75/25, meaning 75% to you and 25% to Flight Centre, what’s more, there are no joining or monthly fees. Think of it as a franchise that complies with our supply strategies.

Unbranded

Flight Centre Unbranded is a pure consolidator model within the Flight Centre Travel Group that enables existing travel companies to buy our negotiated land and air deals. The opportunity is that you own and manage your own customer base, operating systems and banking. There is no split in commission but rather a monthly fee. Flight Centre’s benefit from this model is the joint created volume required to reach override agreements. FCTG is also open to acquisitions within this model.
