Cancellation Protection features

Cancellation Protection

One of the reasons that Alternative Airlines is the safest site to book flights is due to its Refund Protect Insurance. With Cancellation Protection, you or any member of your booking are able to claim a full refund on your flight if it can no longer be used if you're faced with an 'emergency circumstance'.

An example of an 'emergency circumstance' includes adverse weather, changes to exam dates, death of a close family member, Government travel ban, injury/illness, mechanical breakdown and more. If you wish to protect your money, Cancellation Protection is available to buy at checkout for a small extra fee.

Lost Baggage Insurance is available to purchase at a small additional fee for checked baggage at the time of booking.
