3. Price Drop Protection™

Should the price of the airfare that you booked when also purchasing your Captain’s Value Pack or Captain’s Plus Pack fall below the price you paid within 30 days of your purchase, you will be able to make a claim for Price Drop Protection. Price Drop Protection only applies to airfares (not accommodation, other travel or to holiday packages) purchased in conjunction with a Captain’s Value Pack (up to $50pp) or Captain’s Plus Pack (up to $500pp), and it may only be claimed once. Price Drop Protection only applies to genuine airfares from airlines and businesses registered with the New Zealand Companies Office, airlines own websites and Flight Centre, including www.flightcentre.co.nz, for travel that originates in and departs from New Zealand.

Fare must be in writing and presented to us on the same day as it was advertised (which must be prior to your departure and otherwise within thirty (30) days of the date that you purchased (in full) your Captain’s Value Pack or Captain’s Plus Pack), showing the final price including all applicable fees and charges (including booking/service fees and all charges for your original form of payment) in New Zealand Dollars (NZD). Fare must be for the same form of payment and must be available, able to be booked by the general public when you bring it to us and be for the same dates, airlines, number of passengers, cabin classes and flight numbers. The written fare must show the date it was advertised and the final price including all applicable fees and charges (including booking/service fees and all charges for the form of payment chosen). Flight Centre’s Travel Expert Service Fees are not part of the airfare prices and therefore will be excluded when evaluating. Fares available due to membership of a group or corporate entity or subscription to a closed group or fares discounted due to a government subsidy or scheme are excluded.

Should the fare be less than the fare that you booked when also purchasing your Captain’s Pack, we will issue a Price Drop Protection credit to you for the difference between the fare you paid and the lower fare, up to $50 per person for Captain’s Value Pack and up to $500 per person for Captain’s Plus Pack. Flight Centre’s Travel Expert Service Fees are not part of the airfare prices and therefore will be excluded from the value of the Price Drop Protection credit. Price Drop Protection only applies to your domestic flight within New Zealand or your international flight departing New Zealand. 

If flights are reissued within 30 days of purchase, a Price Drop Protection claim is calculated on the original airfare value at time of purchase.

If you wish to make a claim for Price Drop Protection prior to full payment for your fare, you must first pay for your fare in full.

If you cancel the airfare you booked when you purchased your Captain's Pack and submit the airfare for a refund (if applicable) and your Price Drop Protection credit has not been used, the Price Drop Protection credit will be cancelled, and you will be refunded (subject to the refund being approved by the airline) the full value of the original airfare purchased less the applicable airline cancellation fees. If your Price Drop Protection credit has been used, the value of the Price Drop Protection credit will be deducted from the refund due on the original airfare in addition to the airline’s cancellation fee.

If you cancel the airfare you booked when you purchased your Captain’s Pack and the airline has provided you with a credit for the airfare, the value of your Captain’s Pack will be held in credit. For Captain’s Packs held in credit, any future Price Drop Protection claims will be assessed based on the value of the flights at the time of re-booking, not the original value of the cancelled fare. The new value to be assessed against will be cited on your invoice at the time of re-booking. Should the price of the airfare you re-book using the airline credit fall below your purchase price prior to your departure date, we will (subject to the Price Drop Protection claim terms being satisfied) issue a Price Drop Protection credit to you for the difference between the fare you paid when you re-booked and the lower fare, up to $50 per person for Captain’s Value Pack and up to $500 per person for Captain’s Plus Pack. 

How can I make a claim for Price Drop Protection?

Step 1: Bring us an advertised airfare available within thirty (30) days of the date you pay for your Captain’s Pack in full and otherwise prior to your departure date.

Your fare must be in writing and must relate to standard airfares available to the general public. Your genuine advertised fare must be presented to us on the same day as it was advertised and prior to your departure date. Travel must originate/depart from New Zealand.
