Linda Schulman's son Scott Beigel was among 17 killed Feb. 14 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Schulman, her husband and brother ended up chartering a one-way flight through Talon Air, Inc.
Local news media report Schulman was billed $36,000. She says she was willing to pay the $18,229.57 fare, but sought compassion on the $18,229 fare to return the plane to Farmingdale, New York.
In a Facebook post Tuesday she says owner Adam Katz offered to return the fare and make an $18,000 donation to her son's memorial fund.
