Salary Sacrifice for Flights and Travel – and Save

Employees who work in a remote area (as defined by the ATO) away from their usual place of residence may be eligible to salary package the cost of flights to and from your usual place of residence to your workplace with the fly-in, fly-out benefit.

Contact your employer to see if this benefit is available to you.

How It Works

If employees are eligible for the Fly In, Fly Out Travel benefit, they can save on flights by using their pre-tax income to pay for the cost of the flight, thereby reducing their taxable income.

  • Only available to employees self-funded airfares.

What’s not allowed:

  • Flights not for the employee
  • Holiday travel
  • Travel that is not in relation to the employee returning to their usual place of employment or usual place of residence

How can I book flights using my pre-tax funds?

Flights are booked through the Globetrotter portal. Paywise has partnered with Globetrotter to facilitate the booking and invoicing service required for the provision of this packaging benefit.

How long before I can start booking my flights through Paywise?

When you have collected pretax funds in your Paywise account you may start booking your flights. We commence your deductions at a doubled amount to ensure you are off to booking your flights sooner.

Can I book anyone else on my flights through the Globetrotter portal?

Only flights for the employee can be booked.

Can I book a non-direct flight to my destination?

Flights between the normal home airport and arrival airport only qualify for bookings.

If I have insufficient funds in my Paywise account to book flights can I pay a top-up to cover?

Funds must be deducted from your pretax salary to pay for the full flight cost.

What happens to any funds held by Paywise if I leave my employer?

Any surplus funds will be returned to you via your employers’ payroll

Can I pay for my own flights and then seek reimbursement through funds held by Paywise?

Flights may only be booked through the Globetrotter portal due to invoicing processes required by the ATO.

What happens if I must cancel my flight?

If a flight is cancelled, a flight credit is issued with Globetrotter and the employee must use this credit for a future flight covered under this benefit.
