What can I do? Sue for false advertisement.....?
Yeah, sue for false advertisment. Great idea, get a high-power lawyer and then dress up 15 guys in suits and go to the airport check-in counter and tell them that they're sued.

Or, submit your reciept and ask to be reimbursed for the difference.

What's with Americans threatening to sue? There are at least 5 active threads where the individual who submitted the thread either threatened to sue if they didn't ask the forum they should sue
