Passenger rights Flybe UK flight?

If that's really why you're asking then I wouldn't bother trying to add FlyBE's insurance, which is likely to be overpriced, just find a cheap online short term insurance deal that covers the sort of things you might need to claim for (so for instance you shouldn't need medical cover for domestic travel).

Out of the £60 ticket how much goes to taxes and charges? Will I get a full refund of £60 or will I get something stupid like £15 back after excesses and admin fees?


Which travel insurance is the cheapest and has £0 excess and £0 admin fee when it comes to claiming?

The time to find out all this is before booking, not two days before when you're clearly looking to get your money back!

travel insurance will not pay out if you decide to cancel unless the reason is an insurable one, eg doctor confirms you are too ill to travel, death of close relative etc.
It would be helpful to know whether you intend to travel and are concerned about delays or whether you do not need this ticket now so are looking for a way to get your money back
Flybe charge an admin fee of £25 to process tax refund which will be more than the taxes themselves on a domestic flight
For refund for delay/cancellation, you need to have checked in and be at the airport to qualify for any refund/compensation otherwise you are just a no-show

So i wont get a full £60 refund because flybe takes £25 out of it? Also if i claim on insurance will i get my full money back or does travel insurance take a excess/admin fee?

your insurance will tell you if there is an excess to pay and how much it is, however im 99.9% sure there will be an excess.

Can we assume you're flying BHX - GLA? If so there are four flights tomorrow, if one is cancelled they'll no doubt get you on another.

Assuming it's a non-flexible ticket;

Of the £60 you paid to Flybe, they only have to refund the Air Passenger Duty of £13. They will charge you £25 to process this refund.

Your insurance may or may not have an excess, only you can check to find out. However your insurance is only going to pay out in certain circumstances, such as a medical issue, not for changing your mind.

Why exactly don't you want to take the flight?

I thought he was buying a car. But the posts are all mixed up. They dont seem to know if they live in the Midlands or Scotland.

The other thread says they want to travel from Glasgow TO Birmingham. Not the other way around.

They said they put a deposit on a car in Scotland..
