There are some things beyond your control, and airlines actually have some flexibility in these circumstances.
If you are ill, you can usually cancel or reschedule your flight. You will need a note from your doctor, and you will be required to fill out a number of forms.
If you are flying to the funeral of a relative, many airlines will waive the advance purchase restrictions on fares, resulting in much cheaper tickets. You will need to tell the airline the name of your relative, your relationship to the dearly departed, and the name and phone number of the dearly departed's funeral home.
