Nice idea, but availing yourself of the "compensation" is unlikely to endear yourself to your employer, or if on someone else's privileges . . . . (and it is after all a privilege, not a right ) likely to spell the end of a beautiful friendship (yours, or theirs with their employer ) when their employer asks WTF ?
Of course, Air Chance may see it differently, there is always "le exception" but, I think even they will now be a bit more strict about compensation for something you didn't pay the full price for
