Kingfisher Airlines is the first and only airline in India to offer Medical Emergency Air Fares with 50% discount to air passengers customers travelling on account of a family medical emergency or bereavement in the family.
The air tickets will have to be booked and full air fare has to be paid, and they will refund 50% of the ticket value after verifying the documents. This is useful because last minute air fares are very expensive and this air fare give a good flight deal.
