The store – in West Street – will be open five days a week and, it says, be a one-stop-shop for booking package holidays and obtaining travel advice from a team of travel experts.

A spokesperson said that the reopening showed the company’s bounce back following the pandemic and added: “The reopening reflects Flight Centre’s continued success in the UK as it expands its reach in the south-east of England.”

Rachel said: “We are over the moon to be reopening our doors at Horsham and we cannot wait to talk about all things holidays with customers old and new.

“The reopening will mark a welcome boost in trade in Horsham’s central shopping district and provide another option for local residents looking to plan their much-needed getaways.

“We intend to start with a small team comprised of myself and three travel experts, but aim to expand as we ramp up.”
