Many airlines offer bereavment fares already, with straightforward requirements on providing documentation to legitimize the request. It would seem to be easy enough to also offer "golden tickets" to expedite security screening under these specific circumstances. I lost my father several years ago, three days before Christmas. My family and I flew to Nevada to lay him to rest at a family plot, I remember being hyper-sensitive to everything at the airport. Holiday decorations? Terrible, tacky, and painful. Happy travelers made me think how long it would take to regain an enjoyment of the season. Travelers frustrated or annoyed for no good reason made me want to throw punches. There are little things, and big things. Airport security and travel logistics are little things you want no part of while dealing with big things.
