Now the question is, can Flight Centre shares keep flying higher? Or is today's decline the beginning of the next share price crash?
Here's what the experts think.

What could drive the ASX travel stock higher?
Slower-than-expected profit growth, higher travel costs, geopolitical tensions, and inflation concerns pulled the brakes on Travel Centre's shares earlier this year.
But improved travel demand and less fuel price volatility has helped investor confidence recently.
If fuel supply continues to improve and lower interest rates boost consumer spending, we could well see a stronger rebound ahead.
The company is also due to release its FY26 earnings results in late-August. If the result comes in ahead of market expectations we could see another lift in the share price.
