The claims of breach of contract, tort, misrepreseentation, DTPA, etc. are preempted by the Airline Deregulation Act. Bottom line - consumers are SOL against the airlines. You have to follow the tariff and are not allowed to recover under any other theory.</font>
Can this be?
If an airline advertised a certain deal, and their agent affirmed the deal, and in full reliance upon their word I bought a ticket... and the airline did not keep their part, never intended to keep their part, and in fact intentionally misled me, is that not fraud? Or have the airlines somehow been granted a license to commit fraud?
