Bere-va-what? In case someone you know passes away and you need to catch a quick flight, you can call most airlines to get a discounted ticket – also known as a bereavement fee.

Death can strike without warning, making it hard to get a good deal on an airline ticket for the funeral. When this happens, ask your airline about a special “bereavement fare.”

The airline will likely require that you fax a copy of the necessary death certificate, but that’s a small price for nearly half off.
