Can confirm. Had to buy an over priced ticket cause I needed to get to my father in laws funeral and Southwest was the only operational airline

Sorry that an already painful time was made worse

Thank you kind internet stranger. It all worked out. The important thing at the end of the day is I made it. Money comes and money goes, being there to support my loved ones is all that matters right now.

What other solution would you suggest for limited supply? Lottery? Or maybe (what usually would happen) more equal people would get it before equal ones.
