Commercial Airline Being Sued: Part 2

Sky Limo continues to bring you the facts surrounding the $5 million lawsuit against commercial airline, American Airlines. For more background information and context refer back to Commercial Airline Being Sued: Part 1.
The passenger who’s suing says she asked to be refunded immediately for her lost bag but was denied. American Airlines says that the incident happened on a flight form Chicago, Illinois, on the second leg of the traveler’s trip to Michigan, because American Airlines doesn’t have flights from Seattle to Grand Rapids. Her flight was canceled so American Airlines booked the passenger on another flight. When she arrived in Grand Rapids, Michigan she realized her bag was missing and spoke with the other airline about the issue. The bag was found and delivered to her the next day by that airline’s representative. American Airline says that there are no records of the passenger contacting them about delayed bag or a claim or a checked bag charge. Sky Limo will keep you posted on how this story unfolds.

Commercial Airline Being Sued: Part 1

The staff at Sky Limo Air Charter, your luxury private aviation company, just found out that a very unhappy commercial airline passenger is suing American Airline for $5 million. This Pierce County, Washington local is so frustrated over a fee and a lost bag that she’s taking matters into court. The class action complaint filed in federal court says “the airline has breached its agreements with its passengers every time they have lost or delayed luggage and failed to refund the passengers their baggage fee.” American Airlines is disputing the passenger’s version of events and stress the fact that passengers can always request a fee refund as part of a baggage claim. Court papers say the passenger paid $25 back in May for flights from Seattle, Washington to Grand Rapids, Michigan, but the bag wasn’t found when the traveler arrived. American Airlines informed her that they didn’t know where the bag was or if it would ever be returned. The passenger says she asked what can American Airlines do and she was told nothing could be done. Sky Limo found out the items in the bag were estimated at $800 and the passenger spent $300 for additional clothes and toiletries.

Commercial Airlines Are Charging For Blankets
