Flight Centre - Travel Consultant - Coquitlam, BC

Love travel. Love great conversations. Love the thrill of closing a sale.
Sound like you?

 

At Flight Centre, our Travel Consultants spend their days having meaningful customer conversations, converting enquiries into bookings, and working toward clear sales targets while earning commission on every sale. You will work in a fast paced, customer facing retail environment where personality, performance, and customer experience all matter.

 

This role is rewarding, but it’s not easy, especially in your first few months. You will be learning multiple systems, navigating a wide range of products, and managing high volume customer conversations, all while building confidence in a dynamic retail environment.

 

At Flight Centre, we believe great travel experiences are built through human connection. Technology can book trips, people make them memorable. This isn’t point and click booking. It’s about understanding what really matters to customers, thinking creatively, and bringing genuine value to every conversation.
