Flight Centre celebrates 25 years

High street travel retailer Flight Centre celebrates its 25th anniversary this week and kicks off the birthday celebrations with a three-week long promotional party (Flightcentre.co.uk/promotions/25thbirthdaysale).

To celebrate its 25 years in the travel and leisure business and to thank customers for their loyalty and support, Flight Centre is offering a number of discounted flights, tours and cruises, and free nights on certain packages. In addition Flight Centre is also giving away three fantastic holidays.

Customers who book online or in-store with Flight Centre before the 16th December 2007 can win a twelve day trip in Thailand, a four-night package to Dubai or a weekend getaway to Paris. There is also the opportunity to be entered into a draw to win one of 25 iPod Nanos by subscribing to Flight Centre’s online newsletter within the same period.

“We’re really grateful to all our loyal customers for helping us grow over the past 25 years and this is our way of saying thank you. So for anyone in need of a winter pick-me-up this is a great time to get in touch and take advantage of one of our birthday offers,” says Brent Novak, Head of Marketing for Flight Centre.

Established in 1982 in Australia, Flight Centre has since set up shop in nine other countries, employing over 8,000 staff. For both its retail and corporate brands, Flight Centre’s consultants provide a complete travel service for leisure and business travellers.

From a single shop, Flight Centre has expanded rapidly to boast more than 1,500 stores dotted around the globe and currently sees a new store open every 48 hours. Would-be travellers can contact expert consultants in shops in New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Hong Kong, India, China and, of course, Australia.
