My travel companion (on an upcoming USA trip) lost her partner this week in a car accident. I had purchased all of our fares on VA (Q fares on BNE/LAX/BNE routes) and then "Main cabin" (T?) fares on Delta for various domestic legs within the U.S. Her sister was also joining us (same fares). Given the circumstances, nothing is refundable (VA legs are $200 CXL then credit balance which is useless to them as they never travel) so to walk away from the trip they're each looking at losing the $3700pp already spent & I'll have to do the same, or go alone.
Accom was all prepaid on Airbnb under 'strict' so 50% loss + fees.
Does anyone have any advice or tips for what to do? Sadly, she didn't have travel insurance, but her partners death doesn't cover her sister or I for cancellation anyway. It's such a tragedy and I'd like to help them somehow given the funeral expenses and costs of raising their children alone. They saved for years for this trip and can't afford to burn $7400. Thanks in advance if anyone knows any loop holes.
