I am in the process of drafting a complaint letter. Currently, my draft contains the following:

• explanation of the situation
• statement declaring situation to be unacceptable
• desire to solve this issue quickly by having an agent help book a ticket at the sales price
• cease price discrimination based upon national origin for current and future campaigns

Any advice or recommendations on the complaint letter (edits or additions)? Would complaints with the DOT's AirConsumer website, the BBB, or even the FTC be appropriate and/or effective?

Thanks!
