About Us

Now then, are you paying attention at the back? This is one of the boring bits...the 'About Us' section"

Who are Best Flights?

Best Flights commenced trading in February 2001 and by 2005 had established itself as the largest independent travel company in the Southern Hemisphere. In September 2005 the company was purchased by Transonic Travel, whose origins date back to 1949 and who now employs over 1,000 personnel around the world. In July 2006 Transonic Travel was in turn purchased by the public company, S8, who in turn was purchased by Stella Travel Services/MFS. Stella Travel Services is now the largest travel-related company in Australia, and one of the world’s top 20 travel companies.

Best Flights also owns and operates the trading names and websites bestcoachtours.com.au, bestcruises.com.au and bestadventures.com.au, which are all powered by unique search engines.

Best Flights is fast becoming known as one of, if not the most innovative, pro-active retail travel companies in the country and a major supplier of discounted air fares to the Australian public.

We are the High Street Travel Agent's worst nightmare!

At Best Flights we live and breathe travel. We are passionate about the Industry. We continually strive to put together discounted air fares and find ''hidden fares'' that lurk in the deepest corners of the airlines' darkest closets.

We find discounted air fares and promote fares that leave our competitors open mouthed in wonder at where we find them. We have even known some of the airlines to contact us, incognito, to establish how we are selling their own fares!

The funny thing is that many agents could sell the same deals, if they had the know-how or had taken the time to search through the mass of daily up-dates that arrive from the world's airlines. At Best Flights we are just sad workaholics who sit at our computer screens through the night and the weekends to ensure that we bring the best deals to the Australian public.

What Sets Us Apart?

Although we have a certain amount of live booking tools featured on our site, we still believe that a travel site is more of a marketing tool and should be treated like a daily/weekly magazine full of offers and continually up-dated.

We encourage you to collate as much information as you like from our site and then if you want to contact us by phone/e-mail/fax you are welcome to do so. We openly promote our phone numbers. We do not hide them away like some other web sites.

Our Call Centre is based in a modern Business Centre in Leederville, Perth, one of the trendiest street café - cappuccino chic areas of the City. But don't worry, all the staff are chained to their chairs and are not allowed out in the day time, for fear of them never returning!

We are a totally independent company. We are not aligned with any Franchise Association or with any Airline. We are not dictated to and can offer the travelling public a bigger choice of airlines, discounted air fares and wholesalers. We are fully bonded and are a member of The Travel Compensation Fund and Licensed Travel Agent of Western Australia. Our licence number is 9TA 1190.

A Breath of Fresh Air!

We think booking with Best Flights is like a breath of fresh air. So when you are wanting discounted air fares, give us a whirl and see what all the fuss is about.
