The point is, $1200 is what DL has decided the market will bear on a walk-up ticket. As someone said above, there's nothing additional tacked on because of the bereaved flyer's deseparate circumstances. It's not price gouging. To discount a the walk-up fare for any reason IS losing money (not necessarily the same thing as flying the pax AT a loss). If $1200 is too much, then don't buy...that goes for anyone, not just those needing to attend a funeral.
