2. Waive Flight Centre’s Change Fees  

If you purchase a Captain’s Pack Essentials, Value or Plus offer, we will waive Flight Centre’s change fee up to R300 per person  which can only be redeemed once. Supplier fees may apply. This is only a saving on any fees charged, and will not be paid out should the change fee be less than the saving.

If you purchase a Captain’s Pack Value or Plus offer, we will waive Flight Centre’s cancellation fee up to R1500* per person which can only be redeemed once. Supplier fees may apply. This is only a saving on any fees charged, and will not be paid out should the cancellation fee be less than the saving.

 

4. Supplier change and cancellation fees  

Irrespective of whether you have purchased a Captain’s Pack, cancelled bookings may also incur supplier fees, which can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced or not. Supplier fees may also apply where a booking is changed and when tickets or documents are re-issued. Where we incur any liability for a supplier fee for any booking which you change or cancel, you agree to indemnify us for the amount of that fee. Where you seek a refund for a cancelled booking for which payment has been made to the supplier, we will not provide a refund to you until we receive the funds from that supplier.  

Where a supplier states a booking is a non-refundable booking, the booking remains non-refundable.

 

5. Lost Baggage  

All Captain’s Packs have this feature which is a Lost Baggage Service operated by Blue Ribbon Bags (BRB). This applies to checked bags only. If your bag does not arrive at your destination when you do and is not at that original destination airport within 96 hours of the arrival of your flight, you will receive compensation of R6000 (per bag) if you have a Captain’s Pack Essentials, R9000 (per bag) if you have a Captain’s Pack Value or R12000 (per bag) if you have a Captain’s Pack Plus. There is a limit of 2 bags per cashback claim. 
After reporting your missing bag to the airline, you must also report your missing bag to BRB within 24 hours of that flight landing and include the unique identifier for their airline lost luggage claim (often called a file locator, reference or tracking number.) 

To file a new Mishandled Baggage Report call 1 917-920-9699 (toll free), or online at https://flightcentre.blueribbonbags.com 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please have your FC Booking Number and Airline File Reference Number ready when filing a report. BRB will track and attempt to expedite the return of your missing bag for you and keep you informed of any progress. The Lost Baggage Service works alongside any travel insurance you might have. All Blue Ribbon Bags services are subject to their Service Agreement detailed here
