At Peace Flight Hub, we manage cancellation requests and payment recovery files under strict alignment with international aviation rules. All refund allocations are governed fundamentally by the specific ticket fare restrictions established by the operating carrier at the moment of booking issuance.
1. Ticket Class Eligibility Frameworks
Refund parameters fluctuate significantly across different ticketing tiers, managed via our direct carrier connections:
- Restricted & Basic Economy Tickets: These promotional promotional fare tiers are structurally designated by airlines as non-refundable. In the event of a cancellation, the base fare is typically forfeited, though certain airport taxes may remain eligible for manual recovery depending on carrier rules.
- Flexible Premium Economy, Business, & First Class Tiers: Premium allocations frequently integrate flexible return parameters, allowing for full or partial value recovery subject to structural cancellation penalties.
2. Operating Airline Cancellation Penalties
When a cancellation request complies with ticket terms, the executing airline applies its own internal cancellation fee. This administrative deduction is subtracted natively by the carrier's ticketing pool before the net residual credit is released back to our agency account.
3. Agency Administrative Processing Surcharges
To cover the professional labor, manual booking de-allocation, and clearing bank administration involved in tracking refunds through international settlement lines, Peace Flight Hub applies a flat processing surcharge of £30 per traveler. This fee is independent of any carrier-imposed penalties.
4. Verified Settlement Processing Timelines
Once an airline approves a cancellation file, funds must clear the IATA Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) lines. Approved cash or card balance returns typically require 7 to 14 standard banking days to reflect securely on the original payment card statement or verified bank account utilized during initialization.
