Flight Centre Travel Group, offering a full range of holidays, adventure tours and multi-stop itineraries, will open its first ever retail store in the Republic of Ireland on 3rd August 2016 in Dublin. As part of its inaugural celebrations, Flight Centre will be offering discounts of up to €500 on holidays booked in-store.
Ireland’s positive economic growth outlook and its population’s love of international travel are both key factors behind Flight Centre Travel Group’s investment in the country.

The Irish travel industry is diverse, but we feel our value tailor-made product offering and experienced staff will encourage Irish consumers to look to us when booking a holiday.
“Our unrivalled relationships with airlines and accommodation providers ensure that we can offer Irish consumers the greatest choice when travelling to key destinations across the world. Looking strategically to the future, we hope to expand the Dublin team in the coming year and potentially open further stores in the country.
“The branch, located on Dawson Street, has been designed to enhance the shopping experience for consumers. It will include a number of interactive design elements, such as LCD screens and engaging displays. Customers will be greeted by one of our travel consultants, on hand to share their expert travel advice and secure the best value tailor-made itineraries.”
