In this brief informational segment, the speaker explains that travelers can save roughly 5% to 25% on airline tickets by taking advantage of bereavement fare discounts. Historically, most airlines offered such discounts, but abuse led many to discontinue them. Currently, only a few carriers—Delta, Air Canada, Lufthansa, and WestJet—publicly advertise bereavement discounts, though most airlines still have some form of policy. The speaker emphasizes that each airline has its own specific requirements, typically requiring the passenger to be an immediate family member of a recently deceased person or to be accompanying a body. Viewers are urged to check directly with airlines to understand the exact “hoops” they must jump through to qualify for these savings.

You can save 5 to 25% on your ticket with some airlines. Used to be that you could get bereavement discounts with most every airline, but because people took unfair advantage of the discount, it's not that way anymore. Now you can get discounted fares on Delta, Air Canada, Lufthansa, and WestJet, but most every airline has some type of a bereavement policy that gives you certain benefits. Most people are not aware of these discounts and benefits, so check with the airline because each airline has their own hoops you have to jump through. Most all of them require that you be an immediate family member who's had someone die recently. If you're in the unfortunate position of accompanying a body on a flight, you'd certainly fall within the bereavement category.
