Flight Centre starts flogging ‘Mystery Holidays’

At the tail end of a year in which travel has been non-existent for most, Flight Centre has released the ultimate Christmas gift for those with pent-up travel desires: a mystery domestic holiday.

Offering a range of two- and three-night packages, Mystery Holidays depart from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Cairns to destinations including the Gold Coast, Airlie Beach, Cairns, Sydney, Brisbane, Hobart, and Darwin.

One to four days before departure, the destination will be revealed to travellers, giving them ample time to rifle through their cossies, sunnies or activewear and do their packing accordingly.

All Mystery Holidays are inclusive of return airfares and minimum four-star accommodation. Pricing is $399 per person for two nights and $469 per person for three nights excluding Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane; and $539 per person for two nights and $599 per person for three nights excluding Adelaide, Perth and Cairns (all prices are based on twin share).

Mystery Holidays can be purchased between until 24 December as an open-dated voucher, with travellers to advise dates at least 30 days prior to departure, and travel to be booked before 30 April 2021.

The travel period for Mystery Holidays is from 1 February 2021 to 30 November 2021, with blackout periods applying across school holidays and special events.

Flight Centre’s managing director for Australia, James Kavanagh, said: “The last week at Flight Centre has been our best yet since the pandemic began, with room night bookings up an incredible 75 per cent on the previous week.

“Not only does this show domestic travel is in the midst of a great comeback thanks to the reopening of our state borders, but it also demonstrates the incredibly strong desire Aussies have for travel after being grounded for much of the year.

“Our Mystery Holidays have been created with the travel starved in mind, giving them the opportunity to just go somewhere … anywhere, actually!”
