"Fizzing with inspo": Flight Centre presents Travel Tales

Partying with the Hiltons in Las Vegas, marvelling at Mongolian traders aboard the Trans-Siberian, meeting your future spouse in a supermarket in Ghana ... as travellers the people at Flight Centre have a lot of stories to tell. 

Now the company is sharing them in a series of one-minute videos, which can be viewed here on YouTube.

"Dubbed This One Time, the video series straddles decades and continents, laughs and woah-moments, joys and outright face-palms to offer you the ultimate aperitif to travel," said Flight Centre Global Head of Marketing Clinton Hearne.

"Everyone has travel stories they share with those they know, so we wanted to give this instantly identifiable form of storytelling a platform that we hope will resonate," said Mr. Hearne. "The result is a series of punchy videos that are fizzing with inspo."

"People are getting excited about travel again, and we want to catch some of that excitement by sharing our very own experiences. We're dropping these videos as little reminder notes that now is as good a time as any to plan that next trip, whether you're eyeing up a summer escape to Europe, cultural immersion in Asia or a raucous tour of the USA."

Hearne said Flight Centre's YouTube channel had been experiencing "something of a golden patch" off the back of the popularity of its Kids Talk travel series.

"YouTube has become an indispensable channel for people sourcing inspiration and information to shape their travel plans," Hearne said. "With a bit of customary Flight Centre cheek, where we don't take ourselves too seriously, we hope our This One Time series will spark many more travel stories."
