Dateline May 1st, 2013: A frugal 90-something year old senior citizen cannot use her passenger airline mileage points for her "final trip home" because she will then be "cargo".
Presumably thinking ahead, a woman in her mid-90s has raised the interesting question of whether the passenger mileage points she has accumulated with a major airline can be used for her final flight from her current residence to her home state, after her death.
The current answer, according to an airline spokesperson, is no. Because the woman, after her death, will then be considered "cargo", rather than a passenger, her mileage points idea will not fly her home.
