I agree, it's not the airline's fault. It would be generous of them to offer more of a discount but not mandatory to give anyone a discount at all. To get indignant about it not being more puzzles me. Once you land, does your taxi driver give you a discount if you say you are there for a funeral? Your hotel? What other discounts do you expect to come your way?
