Refund Protect


Travel with greater peace of mind

Refund Protect

Travel plans can change unexpectedly. When booking your FlyPelican flight, you may have the option to add a refundable booking upgrade, provided by Protect Group. If an eligible unforeseen circumstance prevents you from travelling, you may be able to apply for a refund, subject to the provider's terms and conditions.

What is Refund Protect?

Refund Protect is an optional third-party refundable booking upgrade. It offers an additional avenue to request a refund for specified unexpected circumstances that prevent you from using your booking. It is not a cancellation-for-any-reason product, and approval is not automatic.

Examples of circumstances that may qualify

Depending on the specific circumstances and supporting evidence, Protect Group may consider applications relating to:

  • Unexpected illness or injury
  • Certain pregnancy complications or a death in the family
  • Specified public transport failures or vehicle breakdowns
  • Severe weather where an appropriate government travel warning applies
  • Qualifying home emergencies, such as fire, flood or burglary
  • Certain unexpected work-related events, jury service or court summons

These are examples only. Each reason has detailed eligibility criteria, exclusions and evidence requirements. Please read the full Protect Group terms before purchasing the upgrade.

How to request a refund

1. Review the terms. Check that your reason for not travelling is covered by the refundable booking upgrade.

2. Start your application. Follow the refund application link in your booking confirmation or visit the Protect Group website below.

3. Supply supporting documents. Provide your booking confirmation and any evidence requested for your circumstances.

4. Await assessment. Protect Group assesses eligible applications and administers approved refunds directly.
