What Airlines offer discounted fares for a death in the family? |
Travel Info are the fares only good for certain relations i.e.parent, spouse,sibling ,child, aunt/ uncle etc Travel Tips All airlines offer a bereavement fare for immediate family. This usually is spouse, parent, child, sibling but not aunts or uncles or cousins. However, the fare discount is calculated off of the purchase price at that time, and since the person usually does not give 21 day notice that they are going to die, these mean last-minute unrestricted fares. Those tend to be VERY high. So your "discount" is usually not that favorable of a rate. You also usually only get 24 hours after the death to book the trip. Normally I encourage booking directly with the airlines for a lot of reasons but in any situation where you need to fly on short notice, you will usually do better checking a reseller such as expedia.com, hotwire.com, orbitz.com or travelocity.com. Their arrangements with the airlines make it much easier to get a last-minute cheap rate than you going to the airline yourself. A quick search of a flight tomorrow between the two cities I work in turns up $840 from the airline I usually fly on (and book directly with, but in advance) and $301 from Expedia.com.

Other Travel Tips You will have to do some bargain shopping and get the best rates.Airlines do offer discounts for your situation but their discount may not be as good as what you may discover online yourself from using Yahoo,expedia,orbitz etc. |
