Worcester, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/06/2012 -- A new website has been created, aiming to dispel several myths about airlines, tickets and bereavement flights: http://www.bereavement-flights.com/ . Website creator,Tony Morrison, is a former airline worker who has made it his mission to inform the general public about the tactics and strategies that are used by the airlines.

Says Morrison, "My Mission is to empower people everywhere on their rights and entitlements when flying. To reveal the truth to everyone about how to get cheap flights: http://www.howtogetcheapflights.info/ both online and offline."

Bereavement flights are ones in which one can purchase an airline ticket if a close family member has died or is dying. Typically, these tickets could be bought for up to 50% off the regular price. In recent years, many airlines have been reducing the number of bereavement flights they offer, and some have been eliminating them altogether.

According to the website, there is a much more cost effective way to get cheap flights, whether they are bereavement flights, or regular flights. Morrison created a comprehensive guide outlining the various tactics that airlines use in order to charge the public more than they need to. The guide outlines exactly how to book airline flights that will save travellers money on their next flight. The guide further states that traditional flights such as last-minute bookings, bereavement flights and red-eye flights are no longer the cheapest way to travel.

The website lists the U.S. airlines which offer bereavement flights and which ones do not. For example, American Airlines will accomodate for bereavement flights, but Delta airlines does not. Continental Airlines is the only one that can be booked online; all others require a direct phone call.

Morrison goes on to explain that there is often red tape associated with booking bereavement flights. Be prepared to provide proof that you are, in fact, related to the deceased and also be prepared to show a copy of the death certificate upon your return. Some airlines may even ask for the name and address of the funeral parlour.

The reason for the decreased offerings of bereavement flights remain unclear; perhaps it's because the airlines think that money shouldn't be a consideration at such an emotional time. Perhaps it's because they offer other types of services that are equivelant. Maybe it's because travellers didn't want to go through all that red tape. The fact remains that booking bereavement flights have become somewhat outdated.

The guide is offered for immediate download, and comes with several bonus e-books, such as how to save on car rentals and hotels. So far, there have been many happy customers who have saved on airline tickets. "I saved $255 on my roundtrip ticket to Hawaii. Your guide was the best investment I've made this year," says John Mondero of Ham Lake, MN.

One thing is for sure: once people find out about this guide, they may never need to purchase bereavement flights again.
