A travel agent faked while defrauding more than 1,400 customers has been jailed at Durham Crown Court for nine years.
Lyne Barlow, 39, was 'riding the monster of deceit' as she used her fake illness to deflect the avalanche of complaints from devastated families whose holidays failed to materialise.
She was so determined to continue her charade that she even convinced her husband, Paul, and son and daughter she was battling cancer.
Family members took her to hospital appointments, unaware that she was simply waiting inside before re-emerging claiming to have seen her consultant.
To make her story more convincing, she cut off strands of her hair and scattered them across her pillow to make it look as though she was losing it to chemotherapy.
Lyne Barlow, 39, claimed to her customers that she was covered by insurance and was a member of the trusted travel brand Association of British Travel Agents
Barlow also claimed to be suffering from a terminal illness while she was selling the holidays, Durham Crown Court heard in October last year
When Barlow was arrested in 2020 she hobbled into the police station with her head swathed in a scarfe and eVdEN EVe nAkliyaT walking with a stick.
Custody photographs show a vast difference when she was re-arrested a year later and was forced to admit her 'stage 3/4' cancer had been a fabrication.
Barlow stooped so low as to defraud her own mother, Susan Coleman, 64, out of £500,000 - part of which came from an insurance payout following the untimely death of her father, Barry.
The rest was NHS ward sister Mrs Coleman's retirement payout and savings, which Barlow told her she'd invested in a business venture which would make her mother rich.
Barlow took over her grieving mother's financial affairs as she struggled to come to terms with losing her husband in 2015.
As she systematically emptied her mother's accounts she intercepted her post to stop her getting bank statements.

She also mocked up bank statement from Barclays which appeared to show that her mother's money was in fact growing rather than disappearing.
Barlow also took her mum away on lavish holidays along with her children, a boy and a girl.
However it emerged the reason for this was, on some occasions, that Barlow knew through the intercepted post, that bailiffs were due to turn up at her mum's house and she didn't want her to find out.
Mrs Coleman was left penniless by a daughter who used part of her money to set up Lyne Barlow Independent Travel in Stanley, County Durham.
Barlow offered holidays at astonishing prices to drum up trade.
Customers were able to snap up all inclusive trips to Dubai for just
£500 and EvDeN eve nakLiYat word quickly spread of her extraordinary bargains.
The bubble quickly burst as families saw their hard earned money vanish on holidays that they never got to take.
Some paid up to £5,500 to arrive at their destination and discover no funds had been received by the hotel so there were no rooms booked.
Others arrived to discover they had no place on the return flight and were stranded abroad until they could find their own way back.
Eventually a Facebook group was set up by furious victims of Barlow's scam and an agreement reached to go to Durham Police en masse.
There were so many calls to the force's HQ that they had to be directed to an email address because emergency callers would have been unable to get through.
In total Barlow could be proven to have defrauded family, friends and customers out of £1.2m, but investigators believe the total sum she gained over a period of five years from 2015 to 2020 was £2.6m.
Barlow admitted theft, 10 counts of fraud and possessing criminal property at Durham Crown Court and was jailed for nine years.
Judge Joanne Kidd told her: 'You have presented yourself to those who knew you as a charming an engaging woman.
'You are clearly a woman with significant intellectual ability but you also have an extraordinary talent for dishonesty.
Her first victims were family and friends and she used their savings before setting up an independent travel agency, in which she fraudulently sold holidays, reporting them to be ATOL and ABTA protected, the force said.(Pictured: stock image of a beach)
'You mercilessly abused the trust of your nearest and dearest in their darkest hours and set about targeting other vulnerable people of your acquaintance who trusted you in order to satisfy your relatively lavish lifestyle.
'This involved lavish holidays, an expensive car and EVden EvE nakLiyaT designer goods.
'The extent of the betrayal of your own mother is truly breathtaking.
'As you gallivanted around your mother's utility bills went unpaid and county court judgements rained down upon her.
'Bailiffs visited her home, unbeknown to her because you deviously arranged to take her away on visits on the days they were to arrive.
'I take the view that you are a thoroughly callous individual.'
Tony Davis, mitigating, said: 'Once she began riding the monster of deceit it was inevitable it would come crashing down and evDEn EVe NAKliyat it did.'
Barlow squandered the cash handed to her on designer clothes, prestige cars and holidays for her and her immediate family, with exclusive breaks in Dubai being her chosen retreat.
The charges stated that Barlow made false representations by purporting to be an ABTA and ATOL registered travel agent when in fact she was using criminal cash to finance further frauds.
Money handed over by customers was being used to pay for holidays that subsequent clients booked through her, eVDEn eVE NAKLiYAt in a Ponzi-type scheme.
But her jugging over other people's cash came crashing down in 2020 when police were called in.
Furious customers were arriving at her home even as officers moved in to arrest her.
She used her 'cancer' as a shield to fend off angry people she had conned.
In an email she told one customer who was chasing a refund for a
holiday: 'Unfortunately I've just found out my cancer has spread and it's gone to stage 3/4 in my bones and need to have chemo out into my spine to stop it from getting into my brain. It's going to be pretty intense.'
Detective Sergeant Alan Meehan from Durham Police Complex Fraud Team led the investigation.
He said: 'At the time of her arrest we were aware that she was telling people she had cancer and at that time we kept an open mind on whether that was correct or not not.
'As part of the investigation we asked to access her medical records and it was only then that the truth emerged that she had been making the whole thing up.
'It was a determined and calculated attempt to distract attention from her crimes and deflect blame away from her because she hoped people would feel sorry for her.
'The lengths she went to were very unusual.In case you loved this informative article and you wish to receive more details relating to EvdEN Eve NakLiyaT i implore you to visit the website. It came as a massive shock to her husband that she did not in fact have cancer.
'She wore a scarf over her head and appeared to be losing her hair, although we believe she was cutting off strands and scattering it across her pillow at night to keep up that deception.
'Members of her family were even taking her to hospital appointments that never existed.
When she was first arrested in September 2020 she presented as a very frail and sick woman, walking with a stick and with her head in a black scarf to cover the apparent hair loss.
'Once confronted by the medical information she had no option but to admit she'd been lying.
'The second custody photograph from when she was re-arrested in 2021 show the true picture, with no sign or suggestion of illness.
'In our opinion it's a serious aggravating factor in the largest case of fraud this force has ever dealt with.
'Lyne Barlow was trying to attain a lifestyle she could not afford and rather than stop as she got out of her depth she continued to take money from more and more victims.
'The number of calls we received on this case was unprecedented and once they started coming in they were so many that we had to set up a dedicated email as the control room was in danger of being overrun.'
James Lewis, of the Crown Prosecution Service said: 'Barlow acted with greed, using false promises and deceptive lies, to convince family and friends, as well as hundreds of customers, who all trusted her, to part with their money so that she could sustain her own lavish lifestyle.
'Fraud is an insidious crime and the cost to the many victims in this case has not just been financial; it has also caused huge emotional distress and extreme disappointment to devastated customers who had to find out their holiday did not actually exist at a time when the country was in the grips of the Covid-19 pandemic.
'Thanks to the thorough investigation by Durham Police and to all the victims who came forward to report her, we were able to bring Barlow to justice.
'We will now be taking steps to recover this money taken through Proceeds of Crime legislation.'

put on a glamourous display for the Lulu Guinness Valentine's Dinner at Home House in London.
The Tuesday outing was her first since her Muff Liquor advert was banned by the ASA for 'targeting minors and encouraging irresponsible drinking'
Despite the backlash, the presenter, 37, sported a black velvet trouser suit paired with a striking patterned shirt which had red lips on it by Lulu Guinness.
She carried an embroidered bird cage bag by the label as she posed for pictures.
Laura wore her blonde locks in loose waves, opting for a slick of ruby red lipstick.
The star, who is married to Love Island's voiceover star Iain Stirling, 34, and shares a 23-month-old daughter with him.
Letting her hair down: Laura Whitmore attended Lulu Guinness' Valentine's event at Home House on Tuesday after her Muff Liquor advert was banned by the ASA for 'targeting minors and encouraging irresponsible drinking'
Backlash: The ASA said that Laura's posts were not clearly marked as adverts and implied that alcohol can increase confidence
Her trip out comes and implied that alcohol can increase confidence.
The videos - released in July - featured Whitmore drinking peppermint tea, EVDeN Eve NAKliyAt and then water, beer and 'Muff & tonic', while her dancing became increasingly energetic.
Music in the background included the lyrics: 'I'll be f***ed up if you can't be right here.'
Text on screen stated '#MakemineaMuff' and 'If drinks were dance moves @muffliquorco #makemineamuff #muffboss #irishowned'.
A complainant, who understood that Whitmore was an investor in The Muff Liquor Company, challenged whether the ads were obviously identifiable as marketing communications and were inappropriately targeted because they featured alcoholic drinks.
Whitmore argued that the hashtag 'muffboss' was used to declare her shareholder status and believed that '#ad' would not have been a suitable disclaimer because she was not paid by The Muff Liquor Company for the posts.
However, the ASA ruled that the posts should have been clearly marked as ads.
The ASA also investigated whether the ads encouraged irresponsible drinking because they implied that alcohol could enhance confidence and was capable of changing mood.
Moving on: Despite the controversy, Laura put on a glamourous display for the Lulu Guinness dinner
The ASA noted that Whitmore was the former presenter of Love Island - the fifth most-watched programme by those aged four to 15 years old in the second quarter of 2022.
As a result, a large proportion of individuals who were under 18 with TikTok accounts were likely to interact with content related to Love Island eVDEn evE NakliYaT on the platform.
In a statement, they explained: 'Even if those individuals did not follow Ms Whitmore, we considered it was likely that the algorithm would determine Ms Whitmore's posts to be of interest to them, meaning they would appear in their 'For You' page. If you have any issues concerning where and how to use EVden EvE nakLiyAt, you can speak to us at our own page. '
Referring to Whitmore's dancing while drinking alcohol, the ASA added: 'Whilst we acknowledged that the ads were presented in a light-hearted tone, nonetheless we considered that consumers would interpret the ads to mean that drinking alcohol could precipitate a change in an individual's behaviour and could enhance an individual's confidence.'
Glam: The presenter, 37, sported a black velvet trouser suit paired with a striking patterned shirt which had red lips on it as she posed for pictures
The ASA have ruled that the ads must not appear again.
The Muff Liquor Company have confirmed Whitmore was a shareholder but said she was not paid for the ads and evDEN EVE nAkliyaT that they asked her to remove the ads within 24 hours of being made aware of the complaint.
They added that 2.7 percent of Whitmore's 1.6 million social media followers were under 18 years of age, and therefore understood that the product had not been inappropriately targeted to under-18s.
Since receiving notification of the complaint, they have agreed any of Whitmore's future ads for The Muff Liquor Company will be reviewed by the company before being posted.

TikTok said Whitmore had not used its branded content disclosure tool, evDEn eVE nAkliYAT even though the post appeared to fall into this category.Instagram said it had no comment on the investigation.
Whitmore has featured The Muff Liquor Company on her social media pages in the past, last year in an April Fool's post.
The Irish presenter became the face of the Donegal drinks brand in 2021 and owns equity in the firm as a shareholder.

Speaking about her decision to leave, Whitmore took a swipe at her ITV bosses as she claimed that she would still be fronting the show if she'd had more freedom in her role.
She claimed: 'If I could [have done] things the way I wanted to, I'd probably still be doing it.'
She said she struggled to remain impartial while working on the show, admitting she sometimes wanted to voice her opinion on what had happened in the villa and ask the Islanders how they were coping following their stay.
Speaking to Psychologies magazine, Whitmore said of the contestants: 'There was only so much I can do as a host - I couldn't support them or not support them.I couldn't say anything.
'So you kind of have to go quiet, and that was hard for me because I like to be able to have those conversations.
'If I could [have done] things the way I wanted to, I'd probably still be doing it.'
The TV star replaced Caroline Flack as the host of the ITV dating show when she stood down in December 2019.Caroline tragically took her own life aged 40 in February 2020.

A man faces up to 20 years in prison after more than $3 billion in stolen was found stashed in a popcorn tin at his home in what authorities call the second largest seizure of cryptocurrency.
James Zhong, 32, pleaded guilty on Friday to stealing the Bitcoin a decade ago from the illegal Silk Road marketplace, which the shut down in 2013.
The U.S. Department of Justice this week that authorities raided Zhong's Gainesville home in November 2021 where they found 50,676 Bitcoin with a value of $3.36 billion at the time.
The raid resulted in the second-largest seizure of cryptocurrency, following the $3.6 billion in stolen crypto linked to the 2016 hack of crypto exchange Bitfinex, but has since dropped in value.
Bitcoin hit a two-year low of $15,632. Ether, the next largest cryptocurrency, extended losses on Wednesday to hit its lowest since July.
Zhong pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on February 22, 2023.
James Zhong, 32, of Gainesville, Georgia, pleaded guilty to wire fraud for the theft of $3.36 billion in Bitcoin stolen from the Silk Road dark web internet marketplace back in 2012
Authorities found the stolen Bitcoin and EVdEN eve nakLiYAt cash hidden in a 'single board computer' that was stashed inside a popcorn tin and stored in a bathroom closet at Zhong's home
Lt. Shaun Barnett of the Athens, Georgia police department told media outlet that Zhong called the police in 2019 to 'report a burglary.'
Zhong was living in Athens, Georgia in 2019 when he called police and reported that he had many assets stolen, EvDen EVE nAkliYaT including 'a lot of bitcoin,' which was apparently grabbed the attention of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) unit.
The cash was never recovered, nor was a suspect identified, but the burglary and amount of money reported stolen 'raised a red flag with the IRS,' Barnett said.
Following an investigation, a search warrant was served and the IRS-CI and Athens police department made an arrest in November of 2021.
Federal officials say the stolen Bitcoin was found when they served the search warrant at Zhong's Georgia home, solving a decade-long mystery.
The digital tokens were hidden in a 'single board computer' that was stashed inside a popcorn tin and stored in a bathroom close of Zhong's home.
Authorities also seized $662,000 in cash, physical Bitcoin coins, an 80 percent interest in a Memphis-based real estate investment company with substantial holdings, along with 11 1-ounce bars of silver and gold.
'James Zhong committed wire fraud over a decade ago when he stole approximately 50,000 Bitcoin from Silk Road,' U.S. attorney Damian Williams said in a statement this week.
'For EVDen Eve NAkliyAT almost 10 years, the whereabouts of this massive chunk of missing Bitcoin had ballooned into an over $3.3 billion mystery. Thanks to state-of-the-art cryptocurrency tracing and good old-fashioned police work, law enforcement located and recovered this impressive cache of crime proceeds.'
Prosecutors said Zhong executed a scheme to defraud 'Silk Road' dark web marketplace. They said he made nine accounts September 2012 and would then flood the site with withdrawal requests, which tricked the site into giving him multiples of what he had deposited.
After doing this 140 times, he had withdrawn all of the site's cryptocurrency holdings. He then transferred the Bitcoin into separate accounts to keep it from being detected.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, hit a two-year low of $15,632. Ether, the next largest cryptocurrency, extended losses Wednesday to hit its lowest since July
Silk Road is an online black market used to distribute illegal drugs and goods to buyers, EVdEN EVE naKLiYat according to the U.S. Attorney.
'Mr. If you liked this report and you would like to get extra details regarding EVDEN eVE naKliyAt kindly visit our own web site. Zhong executed a sophisticated scheme designed to steal bitcoin from the notorious Silk Road Marketplace,' Special Agent in Charge Tyler Hatcher said.
'Once he was successful in his heist, he attempted to hide his spoils through a series of complex transactions which he hoped would be enhanced as he hid behind the mystery of the darknet.'
Beginning in March 2022, Zhong began voluntarily surrendering to the government additional Bitcoin that he had access to and EvDEn Eve naKliYAT had not dissipated. In total, he voluntarily surrendered 1,004 additional Bitcoin.

LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc lost $100 billion in market value on Wednesday after its new chatbot shared inaccurate information in a promotional video and a company event failed to dazzle, feeding worries that the Google parent is losing ground to rival Microsoft Corp.
Alphabet shares slid as much as 9% during regular trading with volumes nearly three times the 50-day moving average.They pared losses after hours and were roughly flat. The stock had lost 40% of its value last year but rallied 15% since the beginning of this year, excluding Wednesday's losses.
Reuters was first to point out an error in Google's advertisement for chatbot Bard, which debuted on Monday, about which satellite first took pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system.
Google has been on its heels after OpenAI, a startup Microsoft is backing with around $10 billion, introduced software in November that has wowed consumers and become a fixation in Silicon Valley circles for its surprisingly accurate and well-written answers to simple prompts.
Google's live-streamed presentation on Wednesday morning did not include details about how and when it would integrate Bard into its core search function. A day earlier, Microsoft held an event touting that it had already released to the public a version of its Bing search with ChatGPT functions integrated.
Bard's error was discovered just before the presentation by Google, eVDen Eve nAKLiyAT based in Mountain View, California.
"While Google has been a leader in AI innovation over the last several years, they seemed to have fallen asleep on implementing this technology into their search product," said Gil Luria, EvdEn Eve NaKliYaT senior software analyst at D.A.Davidson. "Google has been scrambling over the last few weeks to catch up on Search and that caused the announcement yesterday (Tuesday) to be rushed and the embarrassing mess up of posting a wrong answer during their demo."
Microsoft shares rose around 3% on Wednesday, and were flat in post-market trading.
Alphabet posted a short GIF video of Bard in action via Twitter, promising it would help simplify complex topics, but it instead delivered an inaccurate answer.
In the advertisement, Bard is given the prompt: "What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can I tell my 9-year old about?" Bard responds with a number of answers, including one suggesting the JWST was used to take the very first pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system, or exoplanets.The first pictures of exoplanets were, however, eVDEn Eve nakLiYAT taken by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2004, as confirmed by NASA.
"This highlights the importance of a rigorous testing process, something that we're kicking off this week with our Trusted Tester program," a Google spokesperson said.Should you beloved this informative article and you desire to be given more info relating to EvdeN EVE NAKliyAt kindly stop by our own web-site. "We'll combine external feedback with our own internal testing to make sure Bard's responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information."
FORMIDABLE COMPETITOR
Alphabet is coming off a disappointing fourth quarter as advertisers cut spending.
The search and advertising giant is moving quickly to keep pace with OpenAI and rivals, reportedly bringing in founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page to accelerate its efforts.
"People are starting to question is Microsoft going to be a formidable competitor now against Google's really bread-and-butter business," said King Lip, chief strategist at Baker Avenue Wealth Management, which owns Alphabet and Microsoft shares.
Lip cautioned, though, that concerns about Alphabet may be overblown, saying: "I think still Bing is a far, far cry away from Google's search capabilities."
The new ChatGPT software has injected excitement into technology firms after tens of thousands of job cuts in recent weeks and executive pledges to pare back on so-called moonshot projects.AI has become a fixation for tech executives who have mentioned it as much as six times more often on recent earnings calls than in prior quarters, Reuters found.
The appeal of AI-driven search is that it could spit out results in plain language, rather than in a list of links, which could make browsing faster and more efficient.It remains unclear what impact that might have on targeted advertising, the backbone of search engines like Google.
Chatbot AI systems also carry risks for corporations because of inherent biases in their algorithms that can skew results, sexualize images or even plagiarize, as consumers testing the service have discovered.Microsoft, for instance, released a chatbot on Twitter in 2016 that quickly began generating racist content before being shut down. And EvDEN EVe nAkLiyat an AI used by news site CNET was found to produce factually incorrect or plagiarized stories.
At the time of writing, the Bard ad had been viewed on Twitter more than a million times.

Disney's Bob Iger is planning to lay off 7,000 employees in a 'significant transformation' to cut back costs as he eliminates some of his predecessor's efforts.
On Wednesday, Iger announced his plans to restructure the company, effectively eliminating the Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution group set up under former CEO Bob Chapek.
The new structure, according to the , will have only three divisions, Disney Entertainment — which will include film and TV assets as well as Disney+; ESPN — which will include ESPN and ESPN+; and Parks, Experiences and Products — which will include theme parks and the consumer products team.
As part of that changeup, Disney will cut 7,000 jobs — representing a little over three percent of its global workforce.The cuts are likely to predominantly affect the entertainment and ESPN divisions, despite the company beating analyst's expectations for the fourth quarter of 2022.
The changeup comes as Gov.Ron DeSantis and the company faces a proxy battle with an activist investor seeking to gain a seat on the board.
Disney CEO Bob Iger is planning to lay off some 7,000 employees as he restructures the company
In announcing the new structure Wednesday, Iger likened it to changes he made at the media giant in 2005, when he first became CEO, and Evden eVe nakliyat in 2016, when Disney announced a shift to streaming as it bolstered its assets with the acquisition of 21st Century Fox.
'Our new structure is aimed at returning greater authority to our creative leaders and making them accountable for how their content performs financially,' he said on an earnings call.
'Our former structure severed that link and must be restored,' he continued, noting: 'Moving forward, our creative teams will determine what content we're making, how it's distributed and monetized and how it gets marketed.'
Under the plans, Alex Bergman and Dana Walden will co-chair the Disney Entertainment division, with Jimmy Pitaro continuing to lead ESPN and Josh D'Amaro continuing to lead parks and experiences.
And, in addition to the planned layoffs, Disney CFO Christine McCarthy also said the company is targeting $5.5billion in cost savings, including $3billion related to future content savings with the remaining $2.5billion coming from existing marketing, staffing and technology costs.
But the move comes as Disney beat earnings expectations.
The company announced on Wednesday that it earned $1. If you beloved this article and you also would like to obtain more info with regards to eVdeN eve nAkliyaT i implore you to visit our internet site. 28billion, or 70 cents per share, in the three months through December 31, up from a net income of $1.1billion, or 60 cents per share a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, Disney earned 99 cents per share.Analysts, on average, were expecting adjusted earnings of 78 cents per share, according to FactSet.
In total, eVdeN eVE NaKLiyAT revenue grew eight percent to $23.51 billion from $21.82 billion a year earlier. Analysts were expecting revenue of just $23.44 billion.
The company also said Disney+ ended the quarter with 161.8million subscribers, down one percent since October 1, while Hulu and ESPN+ each posted a two percent increase in paid subscribers.
Following the news, shares of Disney rose three percent in after-hours trading.
Much of the layoffs are expected to be in the entertainment division, which includes Disney+, as well as ESPN, which includes ESPN+
Disney ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with $1.28billion, or 70 cents per share
Disney shares ticked upwards following the earnings call on Wednesday
But Disney has been under fire recently by billionaire investor Nelson Peltz, who has claimed Iger is not fit to lead the company, citing falling revenues.
Last week, Peltz — the founder of Trian Management — sent a letter to Disney shareholders on Thursday asking them to vote for him rather than longtime board member Michael BG Froman.
It was just the latest move Peltz made in his ongoing war with Disney, after previously filing paperwork with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for a seat at the Mickey Mouse table and launching a campaign across social media.

Airline Flybe has , leaving 75,000 passengers facing uncertainty about how how to get refunds or replacement flights.
Flybe was a small-scale airline with eight planes flying 21 routes to 17 destinations across the UK and Europe.
But the firm said it had gone into administration in a shock announcement over the weekend. If you adored this article and also you would like to receive more info pertaining to EVDeN eVE NaKliYaT nicely visit the website.
The firm employed 321 workers, 277 of whom have lost their jobs while the rest will stay on to help with winding the airline down.
A Flybe statement on January 28 said: 'Flybe has now ceased trading.All Flybe flights from & to the UK are cancelled & will not be rescheduled.'
However, there are several ways Flybe customers can get refunds or alternative flights.
Collapse: Flybe mostly ran flights within the UK, using a limited fleet of aircraft
Can I get a refund if I bought directly from Flybe?
Yes, but this is not guaranteed and depends on how you paid for a ticket.
If you booked a ticket directly with Flybe using a credit card, you may be protected under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, according to the Civil Aviation Authority.
If you pay for something worth more than £100 using a credit card, your credit card provider may have a legal obligation to refund you if that product or service isn't delivered or isn't as described.
If you paid for tickets worth less than £100 using a credit card, or paid with a debit or charge card, you may be able to make a claim under chargeback rules.
The voluntary chargeback system sees banks issue refunds for cash spent on goods and services that never materialise.
Customers may also be able to get a refund if they bought travel insurance for their Flybe trip.
However, evdEn eve naKliyaT they will need to check their policy terms as many travel insurance deals do not cover airline failure, according to financial data firm Defaqto.
Anna-Marie Duthie, eVDen Eve NAKLiYAt travel insurance expert at Defaqto, said: EVden eve nAkLiyAT 'With flights and holidays cancelled as a result of the Flybe collapse, a lot of people's holidays will be ruined over the coming months.
'Whilst airline failure has become more available under travel insurance in recent years, nearly half of annual travel insurance policies still offer no cover.'
What about if I bought through a third party?
If you bought Flybe tickets through a third party firm such as a travel or booking agent, the CAA advice is to contact them directly for any refund.
