- Are you sure this is true? There is a section in the Canadian Airlines
- System Timetable which states that it offers special assistance and
- discount fares when there is a death in the family. I'm not sure
- whether Air Canada does this as well.
- Of course, a problem is that Canadian does not fly to New York. Perhaps
- that was why Canadian did not offer you accomodation for emergency travel?
- Air Canada does fly to New York.

- Happy Holidays,
