Qantas A330 Taking Off from Melbourne

A Brief History of Expert Class Travel

In the Beginning:

Expert Class Travel started life in October 2017, as a small home-based travel agent based in Melbourne’s Southeastern suburbs.

Selling air tickets, few cruises and some accommodation, we specialised in the Northern Lights and South Pacific.

As time went on, we soon realised it was time to spread our wings, and we started the formation of what Expert Class Travel is today.

The Not-So-Distant Past:

Just as we were starting to find our footings, we moved our head office to the Latrobe Valley, and looked at ways to give our customers the best value for money in travel, whilst maintaining professionalism, personalised and customised service, without charging any additional fees.

2020 saw the world change with COVID-19 pandemic starting to take hold.

Instead of licking our wounds and feeling sorry for ourselves, we took this opportunity to refocus the business and became internationally accredited with IATA and became a full travel agency member of the Cruise Lines Industry.  Through these partnerships we can use leverage and broker some great deals for you.

Today and into the Future:

Today we are Internationally Accredited, and we have a very strong and positive relationship with our suppliers and partners, which means better value for your Travel Investment, which is done with you being at the centre of the holiday you want, not what some other travel agents tell you want.

We are a member of a fast-growing buying group which also allows us extra power in brokering great deals to suit your budget and requirements, to make your next journey enjoyable, easy and on budget.Â

Today we still don’t charge you a fee for booking with us, and our agreements with airlines means you get the airfare you can get online, is the same or cheaper than if you booked it yourself.Â

Ben handled the bookings for our flights, accomodation, hire car, and tours for a recent trip to New Zealand. All arrangements went smoothly without any hitches. We felt that the total cost was very reasonable considering it included additional items such as a boat cruise on Milford Sound and a helicopter flight near Mt Cook. A fabulous holiday!

Benjamin from Expert Class Travel developed a great itinerary for our trip to Alaska, Canada and New York. Accommodation, travel and transfers were seamless. Support provided when we had a flight issue was invaluable. Thank you.

My mother and I have had an excellent last few days on the Ghan and have just booked into our hotel in Darwin... all managed and booked by Benjamin. We could not be happier! Thank you so much Benjamin for taking care of our flights, transfers, itineraries and hotels. Everything has been amazing! Can't recommend you highly enough!

We have used Ben on two occasions with our overseas travel arrangements, each time he has been absolutely amazing, responsive, informative and the most upmost superior level of customer service. We wont be using anyone else for our travel arrangements.

Had nothing but fantastic experiences with them. The first price they quoted was cheaper then anywhere on the internet, and the flight quotes were cheaper than Flight Centre

Great, quick service - very professional. Ben also made great recommendations such as booking a room port side of the ship (to capitalise on the views and afternoon sun) or eating at certain restaurants. Definitely recommend Expert Class Travel!
