I have heard of airlines giving a discount for travel to a funeral (like charging the got-the-ticket-three-weeks-in-advance price for a trip the next day).

Does anyone know if this would apply to a "death bed" trip? Do these programs even exist any more?

 

The policy for this varies with airlines. You will have to call.

 

Not having a good time with Delta today.

How can a company be too busy to take a phone call?

 

Its called a bereavment discount. Airlines have become a real PITA so they might not offer it anymore. If they do you will usually have to provide some kind of proof like a death certificate.

 

FINALLY got thru to someone....


1/2 off the fare, I can leave tomorrow. So, the $889 fare is now $471.
They need only the name of the person in the hospital and name of hospital.

But they INSIST on a saturday night stay. I wanted to come back thursday or friday so I can go to the Dragon.
