Flight Centre Associates

About Flight Centre Associates

Flight Centre Associates are Flight Centre’s outside sales agents who operate outside of the traditional retail store model.
Our level of service, experience and ability to work with you one on one to craft your ideal travel experience is second to none in the industry.

Our Associates have the tools and support to successfully grow their business.

Why is Flight Centre Associates the best host agency in the market?
– Flight Centre has been in Canada for 20 years with over 1000 front-line selling staff and over 1600 employees. Our brand is strong, recognizable and ubiquitous in cities from coast to coast. As an FCA you bring yourself in-line with that brand and all of the national marketing campaigns and exposure that come with it. Simply put, there is no better host agency choice in Canada when it comes to a consumer brand name your customers will recognize and trust.

– Becoming a Flight Centre Associate means you will partner with one of the largest and most successful travel retailers in the world. Flight Centre has more than 2000 retail locations in more than 60 countries with a global staff of over 12,000. Our Global buying power is strong and we have more Preferred Partners than any other host agency in the country. This means a wide array of product, including in-house, specially-developed Flight Centre-owned product, with excellent commissions and the strong supplier relations to support both you and your clients. We do product very well.

– Support for you and your business. We put our Associates first, there is simply no question about that. There are no targets or quotas, instead we are here to work with you to build your business based on where YOU want it to go. One on one coaching and training, marketing support, GDS support, sales training… our team is dedicated to helping you reach the goals you set for YOUR business.

Where does your business fit in with the Flight Centre Associates Family?
Whether you are an Associate, an Agency or a potential Partner, FCA has a home for you.

Associate – You are a single Associate working from a home office, or perhaps you have several people working with you or for you, also all working from home. You are looking for a host who pays well, and in a timely manner, and who will help take on much of the administration that it takes to run your business. You value prompt, cheerful service that is there when you need it and the opportunity to talk through your big picture plans for where you would like your business to go.

Agency – You have a small agency in a dedicated market not currently serviced by Flight Centre Retail stores. You are looking for better commissions and contracts than you can secure on your own and are looking for the security in partnering with a Global brand. You are looking for a host who can take on your BSP reconciliation and help ease the burden of administration that comes with running an agency. You like your agency name, brand and history and are interested in co-branding with a strong, recognizable consumer brand name.

Partner – You are an agency or team who is dedicated to your brand and does not necessarily need to incorporate Flight Centre branding into your business. That being said, our partnerships, contracts, commissions and ability to handle your BSP and air fulfillment better than anyone in the country would all be of benefit to your business. There are ways we can work together to be mutually beneficial to each other and it’s worth the time to have a conversation to see where our ideas can take us.
