Book preview

Do You Have Beef With the Airline You Flew?

Many do. If you are a frequent flier (even if you are not) I am sure you have had your share of frustrations with the airlines.

But chances are that you haven’t taken as much action as you would want to against them. The main reason for that is the time and research involved in taking meaningful action.

Most times you have probably just given up and decided not to pursue your claim. This is what most people do. It takes a lot of time and effort, especially if you don’t know where to start. We all know how responsive and cooperative airlines are after all.

You may have considered hiring a lawyer in the past. But by the time you determined the cost of the attorney, your time and emotional commitment you likely didn’t think your claim was worth pursuing anymore.

What Have You Been Through?

A 3 hour flight delay due to mechanical issues with the plane? What about a missed connection because of a late flight? Damaged luggage? Lost luggage? It could be any number of things.

These issues aren’t so terrible in their own right. They become TERRIBLE when airlines refuse to compensate you for your troubles and make arrangements to ensure you get to where you are going as efficiently as possible with the least amount of inconvenience to you.

Unfortunately, abusive, ignorant, irresponsive and irresponsible behavior is not uncommon to witness today in airline staff.

Congratulations on taking the first step to effectively resolving your own issues with airlines. This process doesn’t need to take very long and is certainly not painful if the right approach is followed. It requires education and awareness of what the laws are, what you are entitled to and how to go about the process from start to finish.

After you read this book and understand the concepts discussed, you will be able to take action after any inconveniences the airlines cause you from hereon.

We have let airline companies get by with so much over the years. So many passengers are mistreated every day. Add to that the lack of honesty and transparency and we are talking hundreds of thousands of frustrated travelers who have absolutely no guidance on demanding recourse for mistreatment suffered.

This book has one sole purpose, and that is to guide and help fliers effectively deal with airline companies who mistreat them and then ignore them.

Common Complaints Against Airlines

Losing luggage and not getting reimbursed for the full value.

Having a flight canceled and the airline sending you off to your destination in a bus without compensating you for your inconvenience.

Being placed on the next flight the next morning without compensation for your hotel and meals.

• Ticketing issues

• Not getting the proper mileage in your rewards account

• Prejudice/discrimination

• Not honoring meal and/or disability requests

• Lost/damaged bags

• Accident/injury

• Issues with your pet

• Involuntarily being bumped

Not Everyone is Treated Equally

Whether it’s a forceful bump to the next available flight, getting ignored in a customer service cue, being tossed around from one department to another like a tennis ball when you make a call or abusive mistreatment inside the plane….Why you?

Not everyone is treated fairly all the time. As unfortunate as it sounds, we are dealing with an industry where there is constant human interaction and involvement. Each time you have humans involved, you inherently expose yourself to judgment, subjectivity, potential prejudice, mood swings and other similar human factors.

There is a lot of free advice in this book. However it is not from a lawyer by any means. The information compiled in this book is from personal experience, research and discussions with numerous private and airline industry attorneys.

Please consult your legal professional when in doubt. None of what is discussed in this book should be construed as legal advice. This book is meant only for your reference purposes and to educate you about the Small Claims Court process.
