Documentation Required

To ensure consistency with the Compassionate Travel guidelines, one of the following documentation will be required to enable your customer to be booked in the appropriate compassionate fare level.

Bereavement Documentation

  • Funeral Directors letter.
  • Letter from attending doctor.
  • Death Certificate (not usually issued/available until after the funeral).
  • Death Notice from the newspaper

Note: All of the above documentation must clearly show the immediate family relationship with the passenger.

Serious Medical Emergency Documentation

  • Letter from attending doctor.

Note: This must be for medical or unexpected serious medical emergencies; it does not cover visits to persons with on-going medical problems or passengers having to travel to scheduled appointments.

Note: For audit purposes all documentation will be required to be held on file.

If you are unable to obtain the appropriate documentation prior to commencing and/or completion of travel, you will be able to apply for a retrospective refund (up to one month after completion of travel) on the original fares purchased once the documentation is received.
