Simple fix for this on Blizzard’s end.
When starting a flight path, grant a slow-fall buff for the duration of the flight

Patchnotes from October 25. So no taxi deaths noo more … I hope.
(With realm restarts) Added additional protections to prevent some deaths via flight-path disconnects. Now when you take a taxi, a protection aura is placed on you that prevents all damage, your hearthstone cooldown is reset, and your hearthstone spell is insta-cast.

Has the fix already been implemented (restarts done)? At least there is no visible aura while flying. Has anyone been able to ”test” the fix by being able to survive from the drop because of this (invisible) aura?
And how does that save you if you land in a high level zone?
As the patch notes mention, ” your hearthstone cooldown is reset, and your hearthstone spell is insta-cast”
So you use instant HS to get to your favorite inn.

At the very least, it would give people a fighting chance. It’s a step in the right direction instead of being a guaranteed death sentence for some classes. If what has been mentioned above is true, then that makes the game a lot less stressful!

I wonder which reset meant 
I see no new buffs still when flying, but agree would help - a lot.
It was probably a “out of season april fools joke”, they said on the next realm restart and so far I know it happened last night. But I am not supriced at all, its a small indie company we are dealing with here.
