Not sure where to put this or who to ask as not been in this situation myself but maybe someone can advise.
My friends son died suddenly today, he had a return flight with Qantas airline booked for July, a trip that had already been deferred once already. His mum has asked me to find out if the cost of the flight tickets would likely to be refunded OR maybe the tickets could be transferred to other family members. If anyone can help so that I can pass the information on, I would be very grateful. Thank you. Fizz

Sorry to hear about their loss. If they had travel insurance, that's the first port of call. Tickets are normally non-transferable.

                Yes they should be able to claim on travel insurance provided he didn't die of a pre-existing condition not covered by the insurance.
Otherwise they should be able to claim back the taxes, but not the cost of the flight.

                Thanks for your replies, I have passed this info on - not too sure about his insurance status, led to believe he did have insurance but uncertain about if it covered his pre-existing medical condition - he had cancer. Such a shame, organising this trip gave him something to focus on - just wasn't to be. He was going to visit extended family in Australia too.

PS. Apparently all is fine and the family will get a full refund
