It hasn't all been good news: 128 planes grounded for inspection and
fines for flight delays, which has mitigated the stock's seemingly inexorable rise.
-LCB- Although, I did have to wait
for it to get off the plane at one airport, which took seemingly forever and
delayed my getting to the connecting
flight... but we arrived just in time to board first — I guess they don't like little kids waiting in lines —
fine with me! -RCB-
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Transportation today
fined the Italian air carrier Alitalia $ 125,000
for providing inaccurate information on its website regarding its policy on compensation to passengers on
delayed and cancelled
flights.
Greetings, i purchased the travel insurance
for our 6day trip to the florida keys,
flight down and trip itself was fantastic / / however on the return
flight the plane us air
flight 1807 was
delayed by 2 hours at first then they
delayed again another hour, total of 3 hour
delay / / we had a connecting
flight to catch in philia off course we missed that and the airline had no other
flight out / / by the way we didn't land until 1; 30 am no train nothing available, so there we were, so i called my son a police officer and he took off work and drove 2 hours at 1; 30 am at night to come get us and bring us home, so i called allianz insurence and there words were you have to be
delayed 6 hours or more to qualify well you all know that most
flight that are
delayed more than 2 hours you will miss your connector, especially at 1; 30 am in the wee hours of the morning / / so they read the
fine print off the policy that was on page 10 say ing a
delay of 6 hours to qualify / / ok so what about trip interruption clause / / he says falls under same clause / / ok what about trip cancellation clause / / in essence us air cancelled my connector??? agent says same thing / / so another words thats how they make there money by not helping a paid policy holder his due compensation fee
for a legitimate claim!!
