Flight Centre launches niche websites
Flight Centre is launching two new websites aimed at the luxury market and round the world holidays.
The Flight Centre Exclusive Collection – www.flightcentreexclusive.co.uk – is backed up by four specialist teams for the destinations covered, which include the Maldives and the Seychelles.
The other site, Round the World Experts (www.roundtheworldexperts.co.uk), offers personal advice from the agency’s staff.
In four of its high street stores – Regent Street, Marble Arch, Goodge Street in London and Oxford Road, Manchester – Round the World expert teams are now available.
Flight Centre plans to roll out these teams to other stores in the next six months.
The website also has the facility for travellers to blog about their experiences.
