Unless there is a specific mention of it in the Fare Rules, no you probablt won't, unless of course it's a flexible ticket. I know that the OneWorld Explorer ticket can be refunded if you are refused a visa or some such.

I think the expectation of the airline is that the passenger will already have the Visa for the destination if they absolutely must travel there.

You don't need to have purchased the ticket in order to get the ozzian visa sorted
