I couldn't imagine how this would make sense for the airlines. If you do have a complaint that obliges you to lie down for the duration of a flight-for example- you may not be in a good state to fly anyway.

I could have imagined this in the 'good ol' days' of air travel, but I can't see it happening now. When the overal trend of airlines is to de-bundle the travel experience (pay for credit card charge, drinks, food, headsets, oxygen on Ryanair etc), I cannot see them offering this value-add service to disabled pax.

Even bereavement fares aren't really the big deal that people make out as most people aren't flying on fully flexible Y fares anyway. In most cases you'd be better just booking a seat in your usual way and swallow the fact that it probably won't be at a good fare.
