Southwest, American Airlines customers may be able to

Passengers who have flown on Southwest or American Airlines domestic flights between 2011 and 2018 may be able to obtain money through an out of court settlement. According to the complaint, some airlines have agreed to limit the capacity of domestic flights, which has caused travelers to pay artificially inflated prices.

According to the Snopes fact-finding website, some customers have received a message stating that people likely to have purchased a domestic plane ticket from Delta Air Lines, US Airways or Continental Airlines from the United States United, Southwest, United States, between July 1, 2011 and June 14, 2018 may be eligible for settlement money.

Southwest Airlines agreed to pay a settlement of $ 15 million in January. American Airlines has agreed to pay $ 45 million in June, but denies participating in collusion.

"We continue to deny, without reservation, that American has participated in such an agreement, and the settlement does not include any admission of wrongdoing," said American in a statement issued at the time, according to the Los Angeles Times. "The facts show that American had significantly increased its national capacity during the period covered by the complaint, while taking delivery of hundreds of new aircraft, making it the youngest fleet of US network operators. "

According to a website set up to allow customers to obtain information on the settlement of the dispute, two of the airlines did not reach a settlement.

The website warns that even if some settlements have been made, those who may be able to make claims may not receive money. It is unclear how much an eligible applicant will get.

"No money is being distributed at the moment. Plaintiffs' lawyers will continue to pursue the lawsuits against the unpaid defendants, "said the website. "All settlement funds remaining after the payment of the fees, costs and expenses mentioned in question 8 of the notice will be distributed later or at the end of the dispute or will be distributed to a charity."
