    Default Getting A Refund For A Non-Refundable Airline Ticket

    I am not sure where I should ask this, so I will ask it here.

    My father purchased a plane ticket for my grandmother. She was suppose to fly here June 3rd. She has become very ill and will probably die within the week. The plane ticket is non refundable and non transferable. (of course, the only business who will not give you your money back if you try to return it) If she were to pass before June 3rd, is there any way my father can get his money back?

    My father just found out he is going to lose his job next month and he could really use the money.

    Thanks for your help.

    Default Re: Problem with an airline

    Check the airline's website for information on refunds. Many airlines have medical waivers in events such as yours. Almost all provide refunds, even on non-refundable tickets in the event of a death.
    Speak with the individual airline from which the ticket is purchased, they'll be in the best position to know their own policies and procedures.
    Best of luck with your grandmother.
