When Covid hit, I was working at Corporate Traveller (the corporate travel division of Flight Centre), and what we figured would be 1-2 weeks off, turned into several months. While I waited to be recalled to work in travel, I had the opportunity to work for one of my corporate clients. Ultimately, I decided to stick with my new career path but I undoubtedly missed working in travel. When my new employer asked if I would consider managing their corporate travel again, I jumped at the opportunity and was very excited to rejoin Flight Centre in their Independent Agent division.
Now, I have the best of both worlds, a new career, learning new things while also being able to work in travel which I have been passionate about for the last 20+ years. Independent by Flight Centre has great people and an awesome support team to help me balance both jobs effectively. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to still be able to work in travel in alongside to my new career and make some additional income.
After 13 years at a Flight Centre storefront that closed during Covid, I found an easy transition to continue my career in travel at Independent by Flight Centre. They offer all the tools & training an experienced agent or someone who wants to join the travel industry could want.
The Head Office Team is so supportive and caring, it's very much like having a second family.
Working from anywhere is exactly what I want right now, seamlessly worked from overseas last summer for a month, and was able to continue to service my clients without effort.
Having enjoyed a fulfilling 16-year career, I've devoted the past 7 years to Independent by Flight Centre.

The company possesses a wealth of knowledge, and individuals are always ready to collaborate and share insights. We use Workplace to exchange tips, tricks, sales, and all things travel.

Thanks to Independent by Flight Centre, I have been given the incredible opportunity to stay in the travel industry even after the pandemic, doing what I am truly passionate about - selling travel.

When my brick & mortar travel agency closed due to COVID, I needed to find a suitable alternative to continue managing my large client base. Independent by Flight Centre was a strong source of support through the pandemic, quickly bringing me up to speed with their knowledgeable support team and user-friendly online resources.

I have been working in the Travel Industry since 1976 and always worked in a store front office. In 2015 I made the leap to work for FCI as a home based agent and have never looked back. The commission structure is fabulous and the pay is great! Working hard for yourself is very rewarding as you see the size of your pay cheque,not to mention you work for the very best boss-YOU
I love the freedom and constant support if needed. My only regret is that I didnt do this sooner.
I have been in the industry for 11 years and part of Independent by Flight Centre for about 4 years.

Support is great (and the team will go out of their way for you), and there is a huge amount of knowledge within the company, which people are always more than happy to share. I highly recommend joining Independent by Flight Centre.
