Bereavement airline tickets, how does it work.
Peter L wrote:
You are guaranteed a seat anyway if you buy a regular ticket, no? No, absolutely not in most cases. Usually, a regular ticket is in no way a guarantee of a seat. The rules for bereavement fares vary wildy from airline to airline. You really have to call around to get accurate information. In many cases, you can get 1/2 of the regular full fare. In most cases, you can get a cheaper flight from the same airline without the bereavement policy. |

the same airline without the bereavement policy. Yes; I think the main reason someone might take advantage of a bereavement discount is if they have to quickly make flight arrangements due to a death and they don't have the time or inclination to look around for the best price. For example, if a family member has just died and your highest priority is just to get there as quickly as possible to be with your family. It's better than paying full fare, but you might be able to find a cheaper price if you look around. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Remove "NOSPAM" from my address when sending me e-mail. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - |
