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.
I have been with Independent by Flight Centre for the past 8 years. The support I have received to help grow my business, help with systems and the strong sense of community have all been invaluable.
I highly recommend IFC for both experienced Travel Adviors and those new to the industry as they will receive unparalleled support, knowledge and growth opportunities.
I have been with Flight Centre Independent for 10 years - the support you get is incredible from both administration and fellow agents. For anyone considering, you will be very happy!
I have been with Independent by Flight Centre for nearly 6 years, coming from their retail arm.
The support and commissions are top notch. The people are like family. Our conferences keep getting bigger and better, and the incentives are spectacular! If you make the move, you will not regret it.
I previously worked with Flight Centre retail, so the transition to Flight Centre Independent came naturally. The systems and pay structure differ, but the support and enthusiasm among team members remain the same. It's like being in a major cross-country family!
The team leaders celebrate all of our wins and consistently communicate with us to ensure we're always in the loop with changes within the industry. We even communicate with the retail consultants when looking for ideas to help our clients. It's not a competition between brands - we all support each other and want to see everyone succeed!
I would highly recommend you come work with us at Flight Centre Independent. This is a great host agency with a ton of support. I was in retail with them for 8 years & did the switch to independent 4 years ago, so a total over 12 great years with Flight Centre Travel group. I loved it before & I love being home based now even more. This is the company to work with. FCI will be your family.
Having been a consultant with Flight Centre for 14 years, I already know the benefits of the company in general. Great supplier relationships, great support, brand awareness etc etc etc.
My move to Flight Centre Independent just a couple months ago was the PERFECT next step in my career. I have tons of support, a great team of colleagues always willing to help and be part of a "team", and I have the personal/work life balance I have always wanted.
I have the support I need, create my own hours, and do a job that I am passionate about!
I absolutely love working with this company. I would highly recommend them to anyone out there looking for a host. The commissions levels are excellent and the support is incredible. It really feels like you are working with a team even though you work from home.
My experience with my previous host was great, however, I earn so much with my commissions with Flight Centre.
The monthly fee is slightly higher then my previous host, however, I feel that the support I receive and the higher commissions levels mean that I earn more and am better able to provide great customer service for my clients.
I have been with this agency for over 2 years now. I was previously 5 years with another Canadian cruise agency listed on here and I am so much happier! I actually earn an income from travel now. Previously I was earning less than minimum wage, despite selling over $400,000 a year in travel.
Our commission structure starts at 80% for 6 months and then reverts to a sliding scale based on monthly sales. The lowest is 60% and we only need to generate $500 in commission each month to move to 70%, and up from there.
We have agents all across Canada and have a great support system.
I highly recommend Flight Centre Associates.
