About us

Charter Flight Centre was established in 1988 to sell discounted airline tickets and other related services, and since then we have been doing exactly that! Over the years we have developed a wide range of expertise and alliances throughout the UK travel industry.

Our strength lies in our independence and knowledge. A combination of which we hope, will serve you, the customer well. We not only act as agents for all the major tour operators and airlines, but we also deal with the smaller independent companies which allows the ability to access to a very wide pool of availability and quite often offer seats when the multi branch high street agencies are claiming flights are full. If you can't find your required seats on this site don't give up, give our reservations staff a call and we will do our utmost to find availability for you. Although we are able to show a vast amount of information on our site it is hard to beat the years of experience our staff possess.

Unlike some other travel companies we can promise the following:

No premium rate numbers. We use "lo-call" 0845 numbers to save our customers money. Some companies generate profits from their phone calls through the use of premium rate 0870 numbers.
No penalties for booking over the phone. If you would like to talk to somebody about your booking we will not charge you extra versus on-line booking.
22 years in the travel business.
Independent. We are not part of a larger travel group, and therefore will always offer our customers the best prices we can find.

Goa's not gone - It's just hiding

I wandered south to Palolem, winding through the coconut groves, and found Goa so peaceful in the depths of a somnolent afternoon that I felt I could hear the dogs panting on the verandas of the old Portuguese houses.
