Travel companies including EasyJet and On The Beach are offering guarantees against flight cancellations and fast refunds to reassure summer holidaymakers, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East drive up jet fuel costs.

The moves come as consumers book later amid uncertainty following the US-Israel war on Iran, with some European airlines already cancelling thousands of flights.
