Flight Travel flys higher with HRG

Remember the Vietnam Swans 2008 AFL Grand Final Party in Saigon?

The then Flight Centre generously donated a return air ticket to Hong Kong (which was won by Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!) .

Since then, a lot has happened to Flight Centre. Not only has it changed its name to the Flight Travel Company, it has also become an Associate Partner of HRG Australia.

What’s interesting about this is that HRG has recently announced its appointment “to provide corporate travel management services to Australia’s largest and most prestigious sporting body” – which is, of course,  the Australian Football League (AFL).

High praise indeed. For the full article, click here.

For those in Vietnam needing airfares and corporate travel, do drop into the Flight Travel Company at 02 Huynh Thuc Khang Street, District 1, HCMC.
