It seems like there use to be a page on here with info about different airlines helping with airfare for medical reasons. Anyone know where I can find this?

There is also a list on Dr. Nath's website that gives flight assistance info. We were able to get help from the Northwest program for 1 of my son's flights. It paid for round trip flight for my son & I. We were also able to get assistance from our local shriners. The helped us by paying our estimated costs for the entire week long trip to Philly for cast removal and therapy.
