Also, I couldn't find a consensus on international fares.
Finally, I couldn't find any info on what specifically qualifies for the "compassion" fares, other than the following wording on AA.com: "Customers must meet certain qualifications and provide specific information to obtain the compassion fare." -- very useful, uh?
Anyone with info who can share please post here or click on my handle on this post to send me a private message (a STAR is appreciated). Thanks!
I have used this was AA. Sometimes it is cheaper to purchase a regular fare from aa.com. The bereavement fare though allows you to change without a penalty and they will also do their best to get you there as quickly as possible.
