25.01.2022 When I started my career with Flight Centre nearly 8 years ago, I started a career where I was lucky to wake up EXCITED to come to work everyday and help open the world up for those who wished to see it. Today a Global Pandemic might stop me from helping book those fabulous holidays and bucket list experiences for you, but there’s one thing it cannot stop and that is the ability to dream. So whilst the world is closed for adventure, it’s not forever! Keep dreaming, and when ...the world reopens, I’ll be there, with an excited smile, ready to make your dream a reality. Stay safe, stay home, stay well https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=M9q5kFJ46YY

24.01.2022 Hello Everyone! I just wanted to quickly drop you a line and update you on what's been happening at Flight Centre Sturt Street! To say that 2020 has been full of twists and turns, would be quite possibly - the greatest understatement of the year. ... From Covid19 flicking a switch what seemed like overnight, stopping travel in it's tracks, to wondering if I would still have a job.... It's been a wild ride - a Coronacoaster one might say! You may have heard on the news that Flight Centre has chosen to close more stores and make some more redundancies. Thankfully my role has been retained, and I'll still be able to assist you when the world is able to open up and help you to explore this gorgeous world of ours! The idea of being able to do that makes me so excited! Our store at 415 Sturt Street is however being closed for business, and we are relocating to Shop 61 in Stocklands Shopping Centre Wendouree (Near Woolworths and Ferguson Plarre) All three of us will be there from Monday next week, and we will be able to be contacted on 03 5359 1200. I look forward to seeing you there when the world opens back up for all who wish to see it - and I can't bloody wait! I hope you're all staying safe. Mel x

23.01.2022 If the season has you in a fizz, stop a second and have a read, and have your faith in humanity restored *sniff* damn onions

23.01.2022 From me to you... Happy Easter! I hope you got a good stash of chocolate to last you a month of Sundays!

21.01.2022 The amazing peeps at Intrepid Travel have done it again! $1 deposits are back!!! Available on a huge range of trips so you can lock in your dream adventure!... For less than the price of a coffee, you can lock in a trip to watch the sun rise over Angkor Wat, spend the night at a Bedouin-style camp in Wadi Rum, search for the best ramen in Tokyo or see hippos splash about in the Okavango Delta. What a world we live in! P: 03 5359 1000 E: [email protected]

20.01.2022 If like me and my colleagues, youve felt the devastation for our fellow Countrymen and Women as the country we call home has battled ferocious fires, consider visiting your own backyard this year. Although there are many areas that are so terribly affected by fire such as Mallacoota that it might take a while for them to get back to business they need our support now more than ever The best way you can help these places is to #holidayherethisyear ... Take a trip to the areas of East Gippsland region that havent been affected, head to Lakes Entrance and South Gippsland who are feeling the pinch even though they havent had any fire because people were afraid. Head to the Alpine Shire region and visit Bright, Mount Beauty and other areas that had people flee in fear the fires too would strike there. Kangaroo Island is open for business - one of the most beautiful islands in Australia for natural beauty and animals! Take an Empty Esky and make the road trip there part of your holiday. Visit the local wineries, breweries, farms and produce stores and help the small businesses on the way! This Australia Day, whilst you are enjoying a long weekend, plan a local trip, take that cheeky long weekend, take a winter break to the snow, and if youre not sure if they are ready to accept guests - get in touch with me and Ill help you. #bookthemout #holidayherethisyear #emptyesky #alpineshire #visitkanfarooisland #visitvictoria #visitbright #visiteastgippsland #visitsouthgippsland #visitlakesentrance #visitmountbeauty #visitfallscreek

17.01.2022 To my wonderful clients, Its been hard to take in and fully comprehend the pandemonium that this Covid-19 pandemic has caused the industry that I fell in love with 8 years ago, but if theres one thing that I want to make sure that you all know its this; I am here for you and I have your back.... I know the time and effort you have put into your travel plans to make sure you have the best holiday your money could buy, and Im not about to abandon you now! I promise. I may be slower than normal at replying to emails or calling you back - I promise Im not avoiding you. I will simply be busy helping another client who is due to travel in the next few days. All I ask, is for your kindness and understanding as I work on getting through a huge number of bookings that have been thrown into chaos. The goal posts are being changed frequently at the moment but please know that I will always aim for the best outcome for you, whether it be rebooking your trip for a new date or destination, or if you need to cancel, making sure you get as much money back as possible. Times are really rough for everyone at the moment, and your unwavering loyalty to me has not gone unnoticed and for that, I am truly thankful. Be kind to yourselves and stay well. Ill see you all when Covid-19 is but all but a distant memory! Yours in wanderlust always, Mel

08.01.2022 Travelling this Christmas and New Year? One of the most common reasons for travel plans being ruined at this time of year is passports not having the right length of validity remaining and not having the appropriate visas! SO if youre headed overseas - no matter how close or how far - grab your passport now, and make sure you have no less (not even a day!) less than 6 months left on your passport!... Parents - dont get tricked - children under 18 have 5 year passports! If you are travelling to popular places like Vietnam, Turkey, USA, and Canada - Make sure you have your visa/visa waiver!

07.01.2022 Looking to go on a cruise? Pay for 2 people and get the 3rd and 4th passenger free!

05.01.2022 Over the past 8 weeks, my job role has moved from booking your amazing adventures, to cancelling your dream holidays and chasing supplier policies to ensure your investment in my expertise was not misplaced. To say that Covid-19 has had a disastrous impact on the industry I love and have poured my heart and soul into for just shy of 8 years now, would be the greatest understatement of the year! Companies throughout the travel industry are having to take drastic actions at a p...ace not seen ever before if they wish to see the other side of this pandemic. The entire situation is unprecedented and it is no ones fault. So it’s with sadness I advise you, that as of 5pm yesterday I was advised that I would be stood down from my role. I want to stress that this is not forever, and that once we hit the turning point and travel bans are lifted, I will be returned to duty and helping you, my loyal clients, plan those incredible adventures down to the last detail, and the idea of being able to do that again - makes my heart sing! I also wanted to take a moment and thank those of you who have reached out over the past weeks to see how I was going. Your kindness has helped me to remain positive when there’s been so much negativity in the world. So for now, while the world is resting, I will patiently await the call that the world is open again for all you wonderful travellers to see it. Stay well, stay in touch, and look after each other. I will be back. Mel x
