Who’ll give this mob a shot?

Came across this in my insta feed. They say they use “ unused
airline tickets that airline employee's receive for free
each year as part of their travel benefits.

These tickets often go unused, and we've built trusted
relationships within the industry to legally and securely access
and resell them to the public.”.

Avoid 'em like the plague. I can't see how they can resell staff travel tickets.

 

[Ansett Nostalgic]

I'd love an airline staff member to tell us if this is legit or not.

How long have they been in business? Registered AU Business?
With a Qantas aircraft in the logo and name of AusFlightCentre getting close to using IP of other business.

Too good to be true
To me reads as a 100% scam

Edit
Real AU travel agent?

Interesting ABN (from the Privacy Policy page). 12 345 678 901 ……..

I’m not touching that, even with someone else’s barge pole!

 

[MEL_Traveller]

Interesting… it’s not a staff ticket because they say you can do things like seat selection, or buy extra baggage allowance. Nor would you have a confirmed seat!

So I’m guessing this might be a miles/points broker claiming it’s a ‘staff ticket’ to avoid mentioning points?

<that airline employee's receive for free>

With that egregious use of an apostrophe, it's a "hell no" from me.

Interesting ABN (from the Privacy Policy page). 12 345 678 901 ……..

Oops. They forgot to fill that in. Their ABN does exist as an entity since late 2023 and based in WA.

Is postcode 6109 a suburb called Scaminyup?
