Money For Airline Bump
Written by mike on April 16, 2008 – 2:24 pm -If you have been bumped because your flight was overbooked, you are going to be entitled to $800 if delayed by more than 2 hours to your destination. If under 2 hours, you will be entitled to $400 per person under new aviation laws put into effect by a new Transportation Department ruling starting May 2008.
The old fine had a maximum of $400, and it had not been changed since 1978.
This is an attempt by the Government to keep Airlines from the heinous practice of overbooking flights, especially during holidays.
I have written about this before. My solution then was to increase fines against airlines to try to get them to stop this practice. Now it is going to happen. Ya-hoo!
Passengers can get more tips on lost luggage, delayed flights, and stuck in plane.
Want more compensation? Passengers are increasing using aviation attorneys to collect hefty settlements for outrageous and dangerous practices by airlines.
