Petition Free ticket changes for air passengers needing to return early in emergencies

Have you ever needed to change your return airline ticket date for one of life’s events like a dying loved one or some other emergency? Only for the airline to ask for an obscene amount of money to come home a few days early?

Airlines should not prosper from other peoples pain.

This petition is seeking parliament to make it the law that if the airline has not sold all seats within 24 hours of departure date to allow any passengers facing a domestic emergency such as a family bereavement, and who have a return ticket on another date and from same destination on the same airline, to be allowed to change return ticket for free in same class of travel for an earlier flight.
