The DOT enforces these rules with fines.

I don’t know if the issue here is that AS displayed incorrect information or Oman Air didn’t follow the fee schedule. So I would probably simply file a DOT complaint and name both Alaska and Oman Air as parties to the complaint.

I imagine WY is going to tell the US DOT to pound sand, we don't fly any planes in your jurisdiction, this flight wasn't involving a USA destination or departure. AS might have to respond though.
