Update: Son misses father's burial after airline charges $675 to change flights | www.WHEC.com: "A local family is grieving the death of their father. But what they say has made it even worse is what an airline was forcing one of their brothers to do to be here for the burial.
See the airline's response below
This is the frustration over those change fees -- the money the airline charges if you change the date of your flight.
The only thing this family was looking for was a little compassion.
Julie Knapp invited us into her home today. She showed us all the plaques that her father got after years of service to Monroe County. Walter Zajonczloski died last week at age 85.
His son Fred Zajonczloski had already flown back from his home in San Antonio, Texas (the family knew their father was dying) and was scheduled to return last Saturday, December 17th.
But when Fred learned that his father wasn't going to be buried until this Wednesday he tried to change his flight for the next day. He was told by Continental Airlines it was going to cost him $675 dollars to change the flight. That's for two tickets (Fred and his fiance) plus the fees."
