not sure, but I think the federal airline regulation makes airlines exempt from small claims court--otherwise they'd be in small claims court evertime they lost someone's luggage. I know that there are federal limits on lost luggage for example. I would read the fine print on those tickets before going to court.</font>
this is 100% not the case. the claim amount has to be less than 5000$ - other than that you can take nay airline to small claims court. However, this is one case I would let rest.
