Flight Delayed Sue Delta for $1 Million
Written by mike on May 30, 2008 – 2:58 pm -New York attorney Richard Roth is suing Delta for almost $1 million dollars. It seems there was a screw up and his flight to Argentina was almost 3 days late, and his 80-year old mother also had an incredibly hard time meeting up with them. Did you know there are attorneys that specialize in Aviation matters like delays, bumps, crashes and even lost baggage?
Did you know compensation for flight delay and bumps was increased 100% this year?

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!
