People, please edit/use the wiki so same questions are not always asked.

The current CTA decision on the Yangon deal is only for tickets canceled by SWISS Airlines for the seven merged complaints/companions and tickets canceled by Jet Airways for one complainant and companions
- It's not about other carriers because each carrier submits different tariffs.
- If you are not one of the complainants or their companions above who were mentioned in the respective cases, you need to submit a case yourself for hearing.
- There's currently one person who is on Iberia for CTA decision, one can either wait for results or submit a complaint to CTA.

Result of the current case for LX in brief is:
- CTA found 5(F) in the tariff used to be unclear for canceling tickets on erroneously quoted fares.
- 5(F) is unjust and unreasonable and must be revised or taken down by July 9, 2013 (or SWISS can appeal by then)
- SWISS did not use its tariff correctly to cancel the tickets.
- SWISS must compensate one complainant's First Class ticket and any related expenses by July 18, 2013 provided with evidence.
- SWISS must transport other complainants (and their companions) in the original price charged with same booking class and routing by June 18, 2014.

Result of the current case for 9W in brief is:
- Tariff on file had no clauses for "erroneous fares" and was updated subsequently, which means it is not relevant to this event
- Therefore, 9W is to reinstate the tickets with a 1-year validity for transport between the same points and the same booking class.


CTA official news can be read here for general overview of the case.

Actual CTA case review can be found here for reference should you wish to file a complaint.

If you have a similar case that's with SWISS, you need to file with CTA to get a result through informal process first before it gets to formal process. The entire procedure can take up to 3 months for each and the result may not be same cause it's case-by-base and the reviewer of the case can be different.

To file an informal complaint with CTA, see here. Click through all of the pages to get to the online form for the informal complaint. Or click here.

To file a formal complaint after informal complaint has been closed, see here. Continue on to the next page to see the address or email address for the formal complaint.

The July 17th and 18th responses from LX can be found here:

No email here. Are you in the formal process already? Or was this decision related to something else?

Nope. That's strange, I'm one of the 7 on the original complaint going through the courts right now.

EDIT: I'm searching... still nothing. what's in the document? http://cas-ncr-nter03.cas-satj.gc.ca...rt_no=A-402-13

Since the notification starts with "LET", most likely it's not anything important, but rather mundane housekeeping stuff.

My reading was simply that they are joining some later complaints to the original.

Or better yet, upload so that we can all take a look at it.

BTW, less than 3 weeks until Feb 12th!

Hi all,

I tried searching using "feb 12" and couldn't find anything. This has been going on for so long I can't remember what is happening on Feb. 12. Is that the final date for LX to get an appeal or similar? Are they basically out of time now and we will get a resolution.

I tried reading thru the thread but gave up and figured I'd ask one if our resident experts.

Plus, I like to see this thread on the front page@:-)

Cheers

Feb 12 is the latest stay of execution for LX:

I bet what LX will end up doing, if they're ever forced to honour these, is book them into O buckets so nobody earns any miles off them. Heh.

I think they'd have another significant fight on their hands at that point.

And the original ruling was (per the wiki)
SWISS must transport other complaints (and their companions) in the original price charged with same booking class and routing by June 18, 2014.
Transporting in O would violate that

Since the DOT determines how and when they selectively choose to apply the regulations. Read the RGN thread and you'll see what I am talking about. While most people flew to Canada, not all did though.

I am simply trying to point out that you cant depend on the DOT to protect you

I would never assume, even in light of the newish regulations, that DOT would protect anyone. I would advise everyone else similarly. DL and UA have both honored recent low fares, but who knows if the DOT had any real effect on it. Or at least, those who know probably aren't posting here .
