At Flight Centre, we know the last thing you want to think about when you're packing for your dream holiday, is the thought of getting stranded abroad or having your holiday cancelled and you being left out of pocket.
That's why it’s reassuring to know that when you book flights▲ with Flight Centre we have your best interests in mind.
When you book a flight with Flight Centre we offer you Airline Failure Protection
If a scheduled airline you booked with us ceases operations because of insolvency or bankruptcy, we will cover the cost as follows**:

If you are abroad, the cost of an alternative supplier will be covered for that leg of your itinerary

If you are yet to travel we provide you with either a full refund or we will find you an alternative to the value of the initial ticket cost.

Financial failure of scheduled airlines that are registered in South Africa
