For the fourth straight year, Flight Centre and the Sandals Foundation have joined forces to make a difference in the largest community outreach program of its kind in the region. Following a similar very successful event last year in Jamaica, this year's outreach was held in Turks & Caicos.

Our philosophy of "opening up the world for those who want to see" isn’t just about providing unforgettable travel experiences to our clients; we want our employees to experience it too! Our Flighties have been to some of the most remote, beautiful and interesting places in the world and as you may have already discovered, their passion for travel is often contagious. After recently celebrating another great year at our Annual Awards Gala this past weekend, we had to share this video which showcases some of the incredible destinations our Flighties experienced this past year including India, Ecuador, South Africa, the Galapagos and more!

Yesterday we teamed up with the Toronto Travel Massive and G Adventures to bring together people from all aspects of the travel industry for a Social Media Week event called 'Getting Serious About Travel Blogging'. Our very own Canadian bloggers and Flight Centre friends Journeywoman and The Planet D spoke on the panel, along with representatives from all aspects of the industry representing tourism boards, PR agencies, travel brands and online publications.

A couple of our Flight Centre clients surprised their two kids Owen and Avery with a trip to Disneyworld and it brought a huge smile to our faces to see their reaction. The kids thought they were seeing their dad off on a business trip to Calgary, only to find out something very different was about to happen. Well played Mom and Dad!

The “Wild West” isn’t just for cowboys, as we learn from Writer Gal Ashley Mikulik’s wild tour of the Western United States. Here she gives us the highlights of, and lowdown on, Universal Studios, Southern California along with some great tips of things to see and do:

This weekend we broadcasted live from the Toronto Travel Expo to bring our viewers across Canada interviews with tour companies, travel brands, bloggers, and not to mention some sweet giveaways including Disney Park Hopper passes, $100 Flight Centre gift cards and a two-night stay at the Congress Hotel in South Beach, Miami!
