Compassion (bereavement) fares

United offers a 5% discount on fares (roundtrip or one-way) in the event of a death or serious illness (requiring hospitalization or hospice care) of an immediate family member.

For the requirements and booking policy, go to United's website for Bereavement/compassion fares:
