I do not have any examples of case law relating to air-tickets but there is plenty of case law (provided recently to me by a lawyer) in the software space about this. One of the most well known cases is Microsoft bundling internet explorer or other M$ products and fining (by contract) manufacturers/OEM for removing said components. Both the courts in the US and EU found this to be illegal conduct. Again not sure if this this would stretch to airline tickets.

As my lawyer said at the time there is no law to force you to eat the full loaf of bread after you buy it.
