Turns out Flight Centre REALLY DOES charter a plane to Global Gathering every year, and in 2018 they’re renting a whole Etihad A380 Airbus, according to a story published on OneMileAtATime.com.

They’re hiring this bad boy…

Etihad A380

Over 850 Travel Agents will have the wide-body aircraft all to themselves mid-July as they fly to the conference in Berlin.

If the details of the story are correct, then all seats on the plane are open for Agents to secure, even the Residence, which will be allocated to consultants who sell the most Etihad flights within an incentive period.

Lucky Agents will be lazing around like…

KARRYON contacted Flight Centre for official details but were only able to confirm that the group definitely charters a flight every year.
