Flight Centre: Reviews
Fantastic experience: A special thanks to Stefan Ryder at Te Awa / The Base. His amazing service and recommendations made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Stefan kept us updated throughout the process, and I highly recommend him! My first trip to Bali was unforgettable, thanks to his help, and I’ll definitely be booking all my future trips through him
Hi Teighan, thanks so much for sharing this amazing review for Stefan! We love to hear how his recommendations and knowledge made your booking process seamless and stress-free
Negative experience: Today went to the Base Hamilton for flight quotes. Lady started with rough tone “i will charge $179 for my time, Before even we sit down. She repeated “My time” probably 3 or 4 times. She was trying us to walk away. Get some young professional in the job. Wouldn’t recommend anyone to go there.
Hi Waraich, sorry to see you're not happy with your experience. To provide a little more insight, we do offer a professional service to tailor a trip to suit your individual needs. We’ve heard from our customers that they want transparency in our pricing, so the consultant fee reflects this. The fee does cover access to our Flight Centre resources and people, giving you service, value, expertise, and peace of mind. Regardless, we apologize you have had this experience, and we will be sure to channel this feedback as appropriate
Positive experience: My husbands is trying to book tickets to get to London then to Trinidad so confusing is there booking quotes . I’d advice to check through the airline : as we have noted there is a large loading from the agents
Thanks for your review Marilyn. Booking instore does offer a professional service to tailor a trip to suit your individual needs. Customers do of course have the option to act as their own agent and book flights using our easy-to-use website, so the options are there. Regarless, we will be sure to channel your feedback as appropriate.
Positive experience: Got the job done and price was okay but made promises they couldn't keep.

Hi Jenny! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review for our team
Negative experience: Less than helpful. And b4 they would even assist me with flights to dubai I was told it would cost me a service fee of $150 per person to QUOTE me on flights .. yeah nah
Hi there Keri, we're sorry to see you're not happy with your experience. We do have our travel expert booking fee which applies to your booking at the time you do confirm & make payment for your booking, but not during the quoting stage. We do ensure this is made clear during the quoting stage so all costs are transparent, so we apologise if this was maybe miscommunicated, and hope this helps clarify for you :)
Fantastic experience: The service here was awesome. Stefan Ryder assisted me and made things so easy. Definitely a superstar
So glad to see this fantastic review for Stefan & the team, thanks so much for sharing :)

Fantastic experience: I just want to write a quick small feedback about my journey with flight Centre, I had to change my tickets around it was so hard to get in contact with my previous agent. And I totally understand because of low staff and how busy things are. after trying different people from the call centre, I was able to get in contact with Stefan Ryder, he was super helpful and knowledgeable and really helped me a lot out I just want to give thanks to him, because he went way above and beyond for me and I’m really happy to see people do that in this day and age! Thank you again Stefan Ryder.

Fantastic experience: I want to thank Cherisha Duthie from Flighcentre Te Awa for the excellent job organising my flights in times of Covid. I had a complex itinerary that required adjustment a few times and Cherisha was amazing organising it all, providing me with hotel accomodation options and sending me all the info for the visas. The communication was smooth, very fast and attentive. I commend the Te Awa office for their great team and I'm so grateful to Cherisha for having made my journey stress free.
Thanks Gabylu for taking the time to write such positive feedback about your experience with Cherisha :)
Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff
Thanks Kevin! :)

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Cherisha Duthie from the Te Awa store. Great advise given when planning and booking (then cancelling) our April 2020 trip to the US. Our initial contact was instore and then all communication was either via email or phone. Cherisha has been amazing through it all..
Thanks Kylie We will be sure to pass this on to Cherisha :)

Thanks for your review Sharon :)
Positive experience: So far so good. We will report back on how well organized thdy were when we return from Italy.
Fantastic experience: This Flight Centre, the base has given me some of the best service I’ve had from all the different travel agents of used in the past. I highly recommend them. I have used them a few times and had no problems.
Negative experience: Waiting, waiting and still waiting for confirmation from Flight Centre Maahanga Dr. I met with Rosanna Clarke and she assured me she would check out flights and accommodation for a group of 30 people to Thailand and Bali and send to me via email. I asked if she would like my email and other details, she replied "no I have your details here along with your husband. 3 weeks on, no phone call, no email not a word about my request. My husband called last week and spoke to another person (male) at Flight Centre Maahanga Dr, and said he would pass the message on to Rosanna Clarke. Here we are no response!!!!! Definitely don't deserve any stars. Bad service, no service. Went through a more deserving and reliable travel agent. The only reason you get a 1 star is to get this post... to you, you don't deserve the 1 star.... honestly.
