We've done a side-by-side comparison of Flight Centre and Webjet to check the difference between their offers, fees, customer service and more.
The two companies are very similar, but with this close look, you’ll be able to make a call on which travel agency is best for you.
The winner: Flight Centre wins with its wider range of products and overall cheaper fares in a like-to-like comparison of flights. Additionally, Flight Centre doesn't charge as much as Webjet for booking fees, and it offers a price drop protection through its Captain's Package.
When comparing the same flights Flight Centre comes up cheaper. It also charges less in booking fees — domestic flights incur a $9.99 fee, whereas Webjet charges $21.95. If you purchase price drop protection with the Captain's Package you'll also be refunded the difference if you find your flight at a cheaper price. This is valid up until the date of departure.
The verdict: In our like-for-like comparison Flight Centre is the cheaper option.
