The Turner Report, named after the Flight Centre's SEO Graham "Skroo" Turner, taps into the company's database of customers, which is then used to explore Australian travel trends.
Information obtained from the report feeds into a dedicated online website that allows you to search for travel information based on postcodes.
Called Postcodes and Postcards: Australians on the Move in the Golden Age of Travel, you can find, how people are travelling, if they're in a group or alone, and how much they are spending.
The report also gives other insights into travellers, such as which age group travels the most (25-29) and the most popular time of year to travel (December).
The average Australian traveller is reportedly a 47-year-old male who travels for 15 days.
Flight Centre has a rolling study known as the Turner Affordability Index which tracks past and present flight affordability comparative to income levels.
The 29 passengers aboard the first Qantas Lockheed Constellation bound for London in December 1947 paid the equivalent of $1170, about 85 weeks’ pay for the average worker at the time, for the four-day each-way flight.
