    Flight Centre’s biggest sale has just landed giving Aussies the chance to lock in more affordable holidays close to home and overseas with saving of up to 50 per cent.

    The Big Red Sale starts today, 9 May, and runs until 5 June 2024.

    Flight Centre Global Managing Director Andrew Stark said that after the travel brand’s inaugural Big Red Sale was so well received last year, the travel agency is bringing it back even bigger and better – and going global across Flight Centre New Zealand, South Africa, the UK and Canada.

    “Our current Big Red Sale comprises hundreds of deals including up to 50 per cent on holidays, tours and cruises, plus huge savings on flights, marking the biggest savings for customers we’ve ever been able to draw together at the same time,” Stark said.

    “There’s no need to wait for the usual end of financial year sales, we’ve got the best deals now. As seasonality returns and airline capacity comes back, we’ve seen an average decline of up to 13 per cent in airfares.

    “More affordable airfares coupled with the Big Red Sale exclusive offers and it’s the perfect time for
    people to make their next holiday a reality.”

    Standout deals include:

    • Save up to 50% on a 10-night luxury Mekong River cruise, from $3,448 per peson
    • Save up to 50% on a 14-night premium European river cruise, from $3,498 per person
    • Bonus Value up to $1,185 on a 7-night Hamilton Island holiday for two, from $950 per person
    • Save up to $600 on a 5-night Gold Coast stay for a family of four, from $313 per person
    • Bonus Value up to $1,689 on 7-night stay for a family of four at the Naviti Resort, Fiji, from $1050
    per person
    • Save up to $1,059 on a 9-night Disneyland adventure for two, from $1500 per person

    As part of the Big Red Sale, Flight Centre is also offering one lucky customer the chance to win back their holiday. To go into the draw all they need to do is spend more than $5,000 with Flight Centre during the sale and subscribe to Flight Centre deal notifications (T&Cs apply).
