Flight Centre: Reviews
Positive experience: I had a great experience with Zoe as she was very helpful and provided information and helpful details about our upcoming trip. I contacted her via email and she was very prompt to responding.
Hi Brier, thanks so much for sharing this amazing review for Zoe! We love to hear how her knowledge and recommendations made your booking process prompt and easy
Negative experience: The most inept company I have ever dealt with.Cost us $3500 by booking our holiday on the wrong date. Partially our fault for not double checking tickets, but when you ask their representative, ( Zoe) , to book for easter weekend, and pay an agreed premium being such a hot travel time, you don't expect them to make your bookings a week prior. When we complained their customer relations team maintained they had sent us a series of email, prior to departure date, that quite simply were never sent to us, then never answered any of our further correspondence. Would never go near this company again
Hi Mark, sorry to see you're not happy with your experience. As you have mentioned, prior to confirming a booking, each customer is required to check their invoice, confirming their details, names and travel arrangements are all correct before any payment is taken or booking made. So we can understand your frustrations, but we do work to ensure all information is made clear prior to booking, so when customers book they are making an educated decision. We will be sure to channel your feedback as appropriate and thank you for your review.
Negative experience: There's no way I will ever go through this travel agency again and I'll make sure my family and friends don't either and il be posting on social media how bad they are.Zoe is a liar and needs to update her PR skills.
Sorry to see you've not had a great experience with us Barbara! If you'd like to provide any further feedback on your experience, please feel free to reach out to us via; [email protected]
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend New Plymouth Flight Centre enough - very friendly customer service, fast response times to any issues, and they are able to communicate clear concise booking info for any trip. I have been privileged to have used Zoe Walker's services in booking two trips: a trip last year to Ghana and another to Perth and Japan. All of these trips have been complex in terms of securing connecting flights as well as accommodation but she was able to help with all issues that arose, provide comfortable solutions, and overall give my husband and I, some peace of mind, particularly with one of the trips being our honeymoon. Again, thank you Flight Centre New Plymouth team! Great mahi!
We love to see this glowing review for Zoe, and how she has made all of your travels amazing and efficient! Thank you so much for sharing Meri
Fantastic experience: I have been booking tickets with Stephen Parkin for the past 3 years. He is a legend! Even being overseas in different time zones, he was always there to help me with my problems promptly. I have always recommended Stephen to all my friends and family members due to his exceptional service and professionalism. If you’re looking for a seamless travel experience, Stephen is the man to go. Thank you Stephen!
Hi Mohammad, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful review for Stephen and your continual loyalty! We love to hear how his professional manner has made your booking processes seamless and enjoyable
Fantastic experience: My experience with LISA VOOGHT was exceptional. I had to get a flight to South Africa urgently due to my mother being seriously ill. Lisa found a wonderful flight and processed everything so quickly. Her courteous manner was exemplary. Thank you Lisa
We LOVE to see this amazing review for Lisa, and how she's helped take the stress out of this urgent situation, and we hope all is well with your family. Thankyou for taking the time to share your kind review
Fantastic experience: Great service I love Flight Center No more self bookings online for me
So glad to see this great review for the team, thanks so much for sharing Ess :)
Fantastic experience: I was wanting to organise an overseas trip for my 30th birthday next year and Lisa has made the whole experience of booking flights and accommodation an absolute breeze - not to mention she was also able to find cheaper flights than I could! Lisa has been extremely knowledgeable and efficient when responding to emails and has already provided me with so many recommendations for things to see and do on our trip! No question has been an issue which has made me feel extremely valued during this exciting time. I could not recommend Lisa enough and will definitely continue to use her for future trips.
We are so glad to see this fantastic review for Lisa, and how she's not just secured you a great deal, but also made your booking process so simple & seamless for you. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your review.
Fantastic experience: Was working towards going overseas but having a hard time organising it, I was assisted by Lisa who made the process so easy. From organising the flights, to accomodation, to even suggesting things to do. Couldn’t be happier with the service provided! Thanks Lisa, looking forward to my trip all that’s to your assistance :)
Thanks Joel for this lovely review :)
Fantastic experience: Simon was a absolute pleasure to deal with. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful and easy experience.
Thanks Roger! :)
Negative experience: New Plymouth…Came in first time was told they will send me the details of trip , months later not heard so I went in again and told the lady, she said she will also send details and ring, nearly month later nothing, and then walked in again and they were busy the 3 there did not even acknowledge me for the nearly 5 minutes of standing there,, could of just said something …spend my money at another centre
Hi Lindyloo, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. Could you please contact us on [email protected] and one of our customer experience team members will get in touch? Thank you.
Positive experience: Great service
Thanks Nathan!
Fantastic experience: The team at New Plymouth Flight Center have been amazing to deal with. We booked our Europe flights through them in 2018 for travel in 2019; they made the process so easy! We decided while we were away (2019) we would travel to the states in 2020. Well we all know what happened in 2020! Lisa has been fabulous with the fast responses and keeping us up to date with all the changes/cancelation/refunds that come with the pandemic travel disruptions that the world is living with now. Thank you Lisa for all your help and we will be back in to deal with you again
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback Ashleigh :)
Negative experience: We went in to find out about a holiday to Europe, 2 girls were there, neither greeted us which was odd as no other customers were in the shop, so I approached the closest and quickly explained we were looking for some info then as we stood there awkwardly I said "shall we sit?" response was "sit, stand, I don't care, I'm looking at lunch menus" she literally had no interest in giving any advice about any travel, funny that being in a TRAVEL AGENTS. The other one wasnt interested either. Needless to say we left pretty quickly and let her get on with what she was going to pick for lunch. Second time I've found this place unhelpful and not interested in providing any sort of service. There won't be a third
Hi Tanya, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. Could you please contact us on [email protected] and one of our customer experience team members will get in touch? Thank you.
Negative experience: Really rude girl at NP store Zoe, unhelpful and unprofessional. Honestly Flight Centre, is that not YOUR job to help customers given the exorbidant costs and your personal mark ups ? Useless - don't bother calling, do yourself a favour and cut out the middle man and book yourself !
Hi Loreen, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience and we'd love to be able to look into this further for you. Could you please contact us on [email protected] and one of our customer experience team members will get in touch? Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Jennifer tume was awesome to deal with while organising our honeymoon to Rarotonga. As covid was nearing an end but with restrictions still semi in place she did the best job at reassuring me and helping me understand everything surrounding that. We ended up having the best time and will use her again for our next family holiday! Always available and was quick to respond to any and all of my queries. She went above and beyond and we are grateful for that! Thanks again
Thanks for the lovely review Tara! :)
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Lisa at New Plymouth Flight Center enough for the AMAZING support and assistance she gave me when having to book last minute flights. Lisa made what has been a very stressful process much more easier and I hugely appreciate everything she did - I cannot thank her enough :)
Thanks for the lovely review Emma! :)
Fantastic experience: Lisa created a complex trip at very short notice and supported me well with my changing needs. Thank you!
Thanks Florence for taking the time to write such a nice review about your experience with Lisa! :)
Fantastic experience: Lisa Vooght at Flight Centre NP was so personable, down to earth and clear. She helped me manage my flights and answered any questions I had around Covid. Thanks Lisa!
Thanks for the lovely review Hana! :)
Fantastic experience: Great
Thanks John for taking the time to write a review! :)
Fantastic experience: Great support from Simon Mathews
Thanks Rob :)
Fantastic experience: Very helpful
Thanks Bruce for taking the time to write this review :)
Fantastic experience: From day dot my experience in dealing with Lisa Vooght from Flight Centre New Plymouth has been nothing short of incredible, her ability to share the stress experienced through several flight changes due to COVID made it so much easier knowing I had someone there to call HELP ! her communication and being informative through the process keeping me up to date and issuing so many ticket changes with a smile was just impeccable, I don't know how you keep doing it with a smile , so much compassion and poise through all the stress Lisa but keep doing it, You're great at it, I now take comfort knowing I have my own Lisa I can trust to call on for all my future travel needs !! :)
Thanks Ryan for taking the time to write this positive review about Lisa! We look forward to helping you plan your next travel adventure soon. :)
Fantastic experience: A BIG shout out to Jennifer Tume for her awesome effort these past few days, searching and securing my ticket from NP to Australia on an Air NZ Covid free flight. I'd raced in Wednesday morning with my urgent request, and when I returned at 4.30pm, my options were presented. The lengthy wait time was a shock, so (albeit closing time) I asked if she'd book my flights immediately. Nothing was too much trouble, and all documents and information were ready for pick up the next day as arranged. Excellent communication, extremely helpful and sincerely thrilled with Jennifer's service.
Thanks Annette for sharing your positive experience! Great to hear you've been able to make it to Australia on an Air NZ Covid free flight.
Fantastic experience: Due to the cancellation of my flights (from a different, and very impersonal online platform) I needed to urgently purchase new tickets from Europe to NZ. Flight Centre was the solution to my problem. I had the pleasure of being put through to Lisa Vooght, who not only managed to provide me with a range of flights, but also called directly from NZ to Europe, which sped up the process immensely. She was super helpful, incredibly kind, and very professional. I highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her services in the future!
Thanks Margaret for taking the time to write this positive response. We look forward to helping you plan your next holiday. :)
Fantastic experience: Lisa was so great to deal we have booked several overseas trips with Lisa and nothing has been a problem even trying to get to exotic destinations She has battled tirelessly to get our refund back for this years canceled trip When over seas travel starts to return to some sort of normality We will be booking with her again Mike&Brenda Topless
Thanks Mike and Brenda for taking the time to write this great review! We look forward to when the borders open and we can help you plan your next adventure :)
Fantastic experience: Lisa Vooght was amazing she secured us a great deal on our holiday and kept us informed throughout the covid travel restrictions. We ended up with 100% of our holiday refunded. Could not ask for better service. Thank you Lisa
Thanks Sherrie, appreciate your positive feedback! We'll be sure to pass it on :)
Fantastic experience: We were due to fly to Bali this month but of course due to covid that wasnt going to happen,we dealt with Amber Bennett from New Plymouth flight center where I found her to be really helpful in getting our refund for our flights etc would we definitely go through her with our next trip overseas....thanks Amber your a star... Regards Sheryl
Thanks Sheryl for such positive feedback. We're sorry to hear that your trip to Bali didn't quite go as planned but when travel is back up and running we look forward to helping you plan your next adventure! We'll be sure to pass this onto Amber :)
Fantastic experience: Like so many others worldwide my partner and I had our travel plans disrupted by COVID-19. In what has and continues to be a very challenging and uncertain time, Lisa Vooght has been invaluable and has worked tirelessly to obtain credit and refunds on our behalf. Through both the highs of planning what was to be our big European adventure, and the lows of cancellations and rescheduling; Lisa has remained prompt with communication both via phone and email; and is always forthcoming with support, advice and guidance whilst remaining her bubbly, friendly self that made working with her such a pleasure. I truly cannot express my gratitude for Lisa’s ongoing expertise enough.
Thanks Jess, sorry to hear that your trip to Europe didn't work out as planned, we'll be sure to pass on your gratitude to Lisa :)
Fantastic experience: Lisa has been fantastic. After flights were cancelled due to Covid, she contacted us promptly and helped to process a refund within a week. Great manner and service!
Thanks Chris
Fantastic experience: We have used Lisa Vooght a few times now for travel bookings. Every time she has been very helpful and kept us informed. We have recommended her to friends who I know have also found Lisa very helpful. During covid-19 we have had to cancel bookings, change bookings and book new flights. Lisa always kept us up to date with what was happening and organised a refund for us which was great. Lisa is very easy to talk to and does her best to find the right deal for you. We will definitely use Lisa again.
Thanks Simon for taking the time to write such a positive review. We'll be sure to pass this onto Lisa. We look forward to seeing you again :)
Fantastic experience: Thanks Amber for your quick response to our queries and confirming our bookings. Much appreciated. Deidre
Thanks Deidre
Fantastic experience: We had a great trip planned and booked with Flight Center but Covid hit. Lisa has been great in getting our airfares refunded and 2 year to rebook credits for the rest. Really appreciate this great service.
Thanks Kevin, we're sorry to hear that your trip didn't go as planned. We'll be sure to pass on your feedback to Lisa :)
Fantastic experience: Lisa was amazing in assisting us with our refund of our holiday. She was responsive to my emails and worked hard for us to get the outcome we wanted. I would recommend her services and look forward to being able to rebook with her soon
Thanks Tracey, we appreciate your positive feedback :)

Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to Lisa, not only was she awesome to deal with to organise our group booking, she also kept us informed throughout the unfolding covid ordeal. I can't imagine the stress her and her team had to endure... Thanks again and I look forward to using yours services again in the near future!
Thanks Jonno, we will be sure to pass this on to Lisa. Thanks for sharing! :)
Fantastic experience: Very good travel agency. Simon is an excellent agent and an experienced traveler, he will help you with all your questions and wishes. He has also a lot of information regarding travel insurance.
Thanks so much G.H for taking the time to write such a positive review :) We will be sure to pass this onto Simon
Fantastic experience: We had 2 trips booked this year had to cancel due to covid.Simon was awsume through our email contact we are very satisfied customers. Have to wait on Virgin for there outcome but are patient people. Thanks Simon see ya soon
Thanks Alan and Wendy! Sorry to hear that your trip was cancelled. We will be sure to pass this onto Simon and the rest of the New Plymouth team :)
Fantastic experience: Lisa did a great job of sorting my travel to Slovakia. Unfortunately, this was cancelled due to COVID 19. I can't begin to imagine the huge task she had with arranging refunds. She kept me up to date with what was happening, and was professional yet personable. I have since received my refund - thank you Lisa for all your amazing help!!
Thanks Karen, for taking the time to write this positive review, and we will be sure to pass this on! We're sorry to hear that you were unable to travel to Slovakia. Hopefully you'll be able to get there soon. :)
Fantastic experience: Lisa Vooght has been dealing with the aftermath of our cancelled trip due to COVID-19 and she has been amazing. Excellent communication as to where she was at with the refund process - very responsive to our emails and questions. I feel like Lisa went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we could back at a time when she was extremely busy. Lisa has made a very stressful time for us much more bearable. Thanks heaps Lisa!
Thanks Karen for such a positive review and will be sure to pass this on :)
Positive experience: We were dealing with Lisa Vooght and found her to go above and beyond the call of duty. We were in contact with her so many times we became embarised as this wasn't always during work hours due to time zones. We were put into lock down in South Africa and if you have ever been in South Africa you will understand that this country is not the best place in the world to be put into lock down. Lisa worked very hard to get some way to get us home. I would definitely recommend Lisa as a travel agent for anyone thinking about travel. Graeme and Louisa Rolfe.
Hey Graeme, thanks so much for taking the time to write about your experience! So happy to hear that you were able to get home with the help of Lisa. We will be sure to pass this onto her! :)
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Lisa Vought- Lisa was positive and really helpful with planning our trip to Europe. When things ramped up with COVID-19 she was available to discuss options. We will definitely use Lisa and the Flight Centre again and have already recommend her to others.
Thanks Andrea for sharing such positive feedback! I will be sure to pass this onto Lisa :)
Fantastic experience: I like to thank Lisa Vooght for the excellent job she did for me, first by organising the purchase of my tickets and then when everything went pearshape, to organise the refund of my tickets. This is not my first experience with Flight Centre and Lisa's service. On previous occasions, Lisa's service has been just as professional and I received excellent support with my bookings and request. Lisa showed an in depth knowledge of the industrie and knows how to get the best results for her client. A big thank you and I look forward to book my next flight with Lisa.
Thanks Toon for taking the time to write such a positive review We have passed this onto our New Plymouth Team & Lisa :)
Fantastic experience: The Flight Centre New Plymouth have been amazing!!!! We sadly had our holiday cancelled like alot of other people due to Covid-19. Lisa Vooght has done an icredible job looking after us and we cannot thank her enough. Even though this has been a tough time Lisa has cared about us and done all that she possibly could for us and we really appreciate her and the team at Flight Centre New Plymouth. We can't wait to come in and book our next adventure with you. Kind Regards Kerry & Gray
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional staff. They have been a great help in a difficult time.
Thanks so much Ruben for posting :)
Negative experience: Worst experience ever!will never book a flight here again.First was fine for a couple of stop over in Malaysia but going back to NZ for another 24 hour stop over?!!Please do improve your service coz its no joke wasting 24 hours in another airport due to your negligence and poor service. Very unsatisfied client here!
Hey, We’re sorry to hear of your experience and would like to look into this for you. Please contact us at [email protected] and we'll have a customer experience get in touch.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff.
Thanks for your review Raymond :)
Negative experience: I was very disappointed with the service that we received and will certainly be thinking twice before using them again. The delayed responses to my queries, lack of contact and communication but when you are overseas with a huge time difference where nobody speaks English, the 24/7 support that is promised should be available. Not impressed and will be contacting the Manager to lay a formal complaint.
Fantastic experience: All ways friendly and helpful, good at getting cheap flights
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and helpful advice, and staff
Fantastic experience: Simon was very helpful. Our flights went off without a hitch and the hotels were nice. Well maybe not the last one but it was ok.
Positive experience: I got Cruiseabout to plan our 1st Cruise from New Zealand to Fiji. My husband and I have never been on a cruise before.Before we left Cruiseabout was taken over by the Flight Centre. All our bookings and payments were accepted by Simon Matthew's and everything was organized by him. We had Australian dollars but in Fiji the locals want Fiji money. The food was so delicious and there was plenty of different food available.There was plenty of things to do on board. The swimming pool was open early except one day when the sea was rough+then it opened a bit later. You could dress up at night to go listen to a band or be as casual as you wanted. There was two different bars.Massages, facials.shoulder massage, teeth whitening, face creams etc to buy. ♥️❤️
Negative experience: really bad service provided by this place. i thought FLIGHT CENTRE was one of the best but i was wrong. never going there again..
Fantastic experience: Helpful staff
Positive experience: Very busy place!
Positive experience: Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Thanks for making our booking process easy.
