Free job-loss refund insurance for fliers

British regional airline Flybe is offering free insurance to its customers, enabling them to get a full refund if they lose their jobs, it was announced today.

Under the group’s “book with confidence guarantee”, people who book flights, car hire and hotels in January and are travelling before October 24 will receive a full refund if they have to cancel their trip because they or a member of their party has been made redundant.
