How do I make a booking at the expo?
Every exhibitor at the expo will have a number of special deals for customers to take advantage of, but these deals must be booked at the event (or in store on the expo weekend). Chat to each of the exhibitors to find out more about what they have on offer and when you are ready to make a booking and pay a deposit, look for a Flight Centre or Travel Associates consultant who will be happy to assist. Consultants will be walking around the expo floor or will be based at the booking stations next to and surrounding the exhibitor booths. The expo deals won’t be released from the exhibitors until the Friday before the expo. If you have a preferred consultant, contact them prior to the expo to see if they will be attending and to arrange an appointment time.
