Say I buy a ticket from Rome to Paris from Priceline, or Delta. I think DOT has jurisdiction because the travel agency (either Priceline, or Delta who acted as travel agency issuing the ticket) who sold the ticket is in US.
In my case, I was thinking that Emirates US acts as a travel agency who sold the ticket, and since it is located in US, DOT regulations are applicable.
Meanwhile, I can dispute the charge with credit card, but that's the last resort...
