    Kathy, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I had to bury my father recently, as well. A Bereavement or Compassion Fare will give you a 5 percent discount. At this difficult time, every little bit helps.

    Bereavement fares are not cheap. They are for those that need flexibility, this are higher. If you can nail down your dates you'd be better of just buying a fare online.
