Dear Balkan Bulgarian
Airlines
|
|
|
I will
shortly be travelling with your airline to Bulgaria for a holiday, accompanied
by my wife and my mother-in-law. We will be staying in the Bulgarian Mountains,
and I was wondering what the position would be if my mother-in-law slipped and
fell down a mountain and met her demise? In this event I am fairly sure that my
wife would want to bring the old bag back to England for burial, so I need to
know how you stand in Bulgaria with regard to people popping their clogs whilst
they are over there. I am aware that in the Mediterranean countries it is the
policy to get stiffs planted as soon as possible, and that if we were
holidaying in the Med we would have to interrupt our holiday to fly her home,
but maybe in Bulgaria where it isn't quite as hot you don't mind corpses lying
around for a few days, in which case we could finish our holiday before taking
her back home with us.
Incidentally, how is a person in a
coffin classified on an aeroplane? Do they come under passengers or luggage?
And is there any extra charge? If so, it occurs to me that there would be a
vacant seat on the return flight - my mother-in-law's - and it seems sensible
to me to put the coffin on the seat; in which case I wouldn't expect there to
be any charge, especially as she wouldn't be taking any in-flight
meals.
Looking forward to hearing from
you.
Yours faithfully
T Ravenscroft
