Some Smelly Air Fare

May 30th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Airports suck. You wait in long lines to wait in more lines where you’re pulled out of one line to wait in another line so you can go back in that line to get to another line that ends with (surprise!) a line.

Now one man, an attorney, has decided to sue an airline for making him miss his mother’s birthday, according to the New York Post.

Sounds pretty foolproof right. Well, you gotta be worried when a lawyer sues someone. It’s like giving the pyromaniac the lighter.

Just about everything on the flight went wrong. The plane was late. They missed their connecting flight. The airline lost their bags. In other words, it was a typically normal flight.

What’s worse is the tickets were free. He cashed in his frequent flyer miles to get them, so he’s suing over a free ticket. What kind of refund is he expecting? Air?

    That is interesting. I don’t really blame the guy for wanting to sue. The airline industries really doesn’t give a crap about it’s customers. He is most likely going to lose.

    Those points were earned, thus the tickets are not technically free. They have a net value and could have been cashed in for other rewards. If this is the same case I heard about he really only wanted an appology and reasonable compensation. The suit is his method of getting the airlines attention.

    Totaly agreed, airports dont give a thought about there customers, its kind’a like a like a greedy little kid charging ants for him to throw them across the lawn. And if the airports are going to charge a ridiculously large amount, shouldn ‘t the flight and everything else be worth your money?
