Have you been flying with a major airline in the last 7 years? You could be cashing

Emails pop up in the passenger inbox to let them know that a settlement agreement could possibly allow them to recover some money.

As long as an email is received, people do not have to do much to be involved.

But even with millions of dollars available for settlement, the millions of leaflets from the last seven years make a big payday very unlikely.

So far, reports indicate that the United States and the Southwest have agreed to pay a total of $ 60 million in settlement, while denying that they have committed anything wrong. Southwest will pay $ 15 million, while American has agreed to pay $ 45 million.

The lawsuits continue against Delta and United.

Persons who have purchased flights from the United States from American, Delta, Southwest, United, Continental or US Airways between July 1, 2011 and December 20, 2017 for the Southwest Colony and between July 1, 2011 and June 14, 2018 for US settlement may be eligible.
