EIGHT lucky Australian travel agents will be off on an all-expenses paid trip to the prestigious Lufthansa Training Centre in Seeheim near Frankfurt in November.
They are the winners of the eXperts Awards Incentive program introduced by Lufthansa a year ago to reward agents who are the top sellers of Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines.
The agents will go to Europe to experience the product first hand, experiencing Lufthansa’s new A380 aircraft which will start flying from Singapore to Frankfurt on the 01 Nov.
The trip will also include visits to fabulous Christmas Markets in Berlin as well as in Vienna.
The winners were announced last night at the Austrian Winterfestival in Sydney where over 100 agents were treated to exciting and colourful night of German cuisine, music and traditional dancing.
Kai Peters, outgoing General Manager for Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines told TD over 1,000 Australian travel agents have signed up to eXperts Awards program in the past 12 months.
“We expect more agents to join in the near future, as the more flights they sell on Austrian and Lufthansa, the more points they earn with their Experts Plus Visa card,” he said.
The lucky winners were: Anne Gurney, Anywhere Travel, NSW; Brian Skilling, HWT Epping Vic; Lesley Shepherd, Select World Travel, Carrara, Qld; Pamela Grill, Jetset Travel, Rose Bay NSW; Michael Putner, RAA Travel Adelaide; Violeta Traykovska, MP Travel NSW; Brendan Collins, Best Flights, Leederville WA; and Ian Pryer, Goldman Travel NSW.
