nonrefundable airline tickets, help!

Unfortunately, not Southwest, which is one reason I do use mostly Southwest. I did research refundable tickets and they were a thousand apiece as opposed to the hundred apiece I got. I sent an email to Northwest and they did advise that I try an exchange online. While awaiting a reply, I tried this and even found flights but in the end it told me I had to call them. So I’m back to square one. Ugh!

On the bereavement note, my husband and I had taken a train to Atlanta and were planning to take a train back. While there, my grandmother passed away and the funeral was before my train back. I called the airline and told them of my plight, but they gave me no break. I paid a huge amount to fly home for my grandmother’s funeral, and this was over 20 years ago. Hopefully, the rules have changed some.

If I can’t get an exchange, does anyone know of any service out there that buys cheap unused tickets, like StubHub and TicketExchange do for sports events?
