If you lose your job and have second thoughts about taking a trip, several travel providers are offering some relief.

If you are laid off and flying Jet Blue, give them 14 days notice before your flight and you can get a refund or make changes on non-refundable tickets for travel booked by June 1.

A couple of Caribbean resorts are catering to vacationers who want to pull out of a trip because of a pink slip. Curtain Bluff on Antigua has created a "Life Interruption" policy where you get a full refund if you lose your job or income at least seven days prior to your vacation.

In the British Virgin Islands, Peter Island Resort and Spa has a Safety Net travel policy that gives you a full year to re-book and guarantees the rate for the same season of travel.

If you still want to take off and can prove you are recently unemployed, Intrepid Travel is offering a 15 percent discount on its small group adventures to exotic destinations across the globe.

Those who have been jettisoned from their jobs can head to Costa Rica and the all-inclusive Recreo villa resort, where travelers get one free night with a four-night booking and two free nights when booking five nights. For more information, visit www.recreocostarica.com.

To protect your trip in general if you fear getting the axe, Travel Guard offers an optional "Cancel for Any Reason" upgrade that can help take the uncertainty out of your vacation plans.

If you are navigating rocky employment waters, eCruises.com is offering its clients free layoff insurance on all the cruises it sells.
