After a bit of help.. Have found that if known book a flight with flight centre,I get the flight slightly cheaper...
But as they are a travel agent does anyone know how much extra I would have to pay for using a credit card and also would there be any benefit to this as opposed to a visa debit?

Do you want flight centre's terms and conditions in addition to the airlines'?Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

Why do you "think" you "might" save some money... Actually work out if you will, then decide...
As to credit card charges by the flight centre, they do have a website you know.0 -
Definitely check to see what price you can get yourself before using a travel agent, the travel agents usually seem to put on a few quid for themselves if skyscanner is anything to go by.0

Have you asked them?0 -
You should just ask Flight Centre.
When I booked a flight with them I was told there would be a small % surcharge if I paid with a credit card. So I paid with a Visa debit card and escaped the surcharge.0 -
Hi,
I used FC a few years back when travelling to NZ - they were cheaper than booking direct with airline.
