Vacances Australie : Interview with Juan Pederzini

Australia is a dream destination for many travelers, but organizing a flight can be complex. This is where Vacances Australie comes in, an agency specialized in airline tickets to Oceania. We interviewed Juan Pederzini, the Head of Oceania Department at Cercle Vacances, to better understand the advantages of booking with industry experts.

An expert in air travel: Introduction

1. To start, could you tell us a bit about yourself and your background?

My name is Juan Pederzini, and I have been working in tourism for 25 years. Oceania has always been my area of expertise. As an air travel specialist, I joined the Cercle des Voyages group 8 years ago to lead the Vacances Australie department.

Airline ticket services at Vacances Australie

2. Vacances Australie is known for its expertise in flights to Oceania. What advantages do you offer compared to a standard online booking?

First and foremost, we bring experience and expert advice. Our consultants are air travel specialists with over 10 years of experience, knowing all the best deals that online booking engines do not provide.

We negotiate directly with airlines to offer exclusive fares, which include benefits such as:

• Tickets modifiable without fees,
• Tickets valid for one year,
• Free stopovers on certain routes..

We also offer payment flexibility, a major advantage given the rising ticket prices in recent years.

3. Can you explain how the installment payment works?

We allow all our travelers to pay a deposit at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due 30 days before departure. Travelers are free to make payments online, in full autonomy, and in as many installments as they wish until the due date. However, for departures within 30 days, this payment facility is no longer available.

4. What are the most common modification requests from your customers?

Last-minute date changes are the most frequent, often due to unexpected events.

5. What types of stopovers does Vacances Australie recommend for travelers?

There are many possibilities! Stopovers in Asia and the Middle East are the most popular. However, travelers can also stop in the United States or Canada, a less conventional route to Oceania. Our Vacances Australie consultants are experts in all the possible airline combinations and can recommend the best plans and itineraries to help travelers save money.

Tips for getting the best fares

6. What advice would you give to find the best fare for a flight to Oceania?

Book as early as possible! Unlike flights within Europe, last-minute tickets to Oceania are often very expensive.

Another key tip: avoid one-way tickets. Contrary to common belief, a one-way ticket is often more expensive than a round-trip.

Changes in traveler expectations

7. Have you noticed any changes in traveler expectations in recent years?

Yes, we have observed that travelers primarily look for the lowest price, without always considering essential factors such as the airline’s reliability or the price-to-quality ratio.

Moreover, trips are less planned than before, which often leads to additional costs and even unpleasant surprises.

What’s Next?

Vacances Australie continues to evolve to offer travelers the best air travel services to Oceania. With a team of specialists, exclusive fares, and flexible payment options, the agency ensures a smooth booking experience tailored to travelers’ needs.

If you’re planning a trip to Australia or New Zealand, booking with an expert can make all the difference for a more comfortable and cost-effective flight. Check out the Vanz Travel van rental options for your trip to Australia or New Zealand.
