You Booked A Hotel Yourself And Now You Know Why You Shouldn’t Have

Let’s face it: we’ve all been there. That late-night scroll, thinking you’ve found a hotel bargain for your next business trip. But is it really a win? Fast forward to 7 am — you're grumpy, because the 'deal' doesn’t include breakfast or wifi, and it turns out the hotel is a long way from your meeting.

Flight Centre Business Travel

That’s where Flight Centre Business Travel (FCBT) steps in. We don’t just book rooms; we make sure you get a room tailored to your needs, minus the hidden costs and surprises. Here’s how we add value.

1. Leverage and Relationships

With FCBT, you’ve got the size and might of the Flight Centre Travel Group behind you. Our global partnerships secure exclusive rates and perks, like breakfast and wifi. You get all this, plus a travel manager with deep industry insights, adding extra value beyond just price.

2. True Cost of Travel

An online deal may seem cheaper, but when you factor in breakfast, wifi, and transport, the real cost adds up. FCBT bundles these essentials into one competitive rate, saving you the surprise expenses and delivering true cost efficiency.

3. Flexibility

When travel plans change, FCBT’s flexible rates give you peace of mind. No more stressing over non-refundable bookings. Whether it's a schedule adjustment or last-minute cancellation, we've got you covered.

4. Volume Discounts

Every room night booked with FCBT adds to your total volume, giving us leverage to negotiate bigger discounts. This means future stays could be even cheaper, whether in one location or across the globe.

5. Corporate Recognition

When you book direct, it’s likely you’ll be considered a leisure guest. FCBT ensures you’re recognised as a corporate traveller, and this translates to better rooms, more personalised service, and less chance of getting bumped when hotels overbook.

6. Safety and Tracking

FCBT goes the extra mile for your safety. Not only do we track your whereabouts, but we thoroughly vet hotels to ensure they meet strict security standards — because traveller duty of care is our priority.

7. Expense Management

Managing travel expenses can be a nightmare, but with FCBT, everything is streamlined. We consolidate your hotel charges into one easy invoice, making it simple to track and control costs across multiple trips.

Save time, money, and avoid surprises by booking your next hotel with FCBT. Call us on 1300 797 826 and talk to one of our Business Travel Experts today.
