American Airlines Class Action Lawsuit 2022
American Airlines has agreed to pay a minimum of $7.5 million to reimburse customers who were wrongly charged baggage fees between February 2017 and April 2020. The American Airlines Class Action Lawsuit 2022 has been filed against the airline to reimburse customers who were charged baggage fees inappropriately.
According to The U.S. Sun, the case was brought about by two groups of travelers: those with an American Airlines branded credit card which get free bag-checking privileges but were charged on a domestic flight, and those who received a confirmation email that their bags would be checked for free but still had to pay. This news has been making waves as it may affect many travelers who believe they may be eligible for reimbursement.

To be eligible for reimbursement, customers must have traveled on or after February 24, 2017, or their tickets must have been purchased no later than April 8, 2020. Customers must file a claim by February 22 to receive the refund, and the pay range is between $25 to $200, depending on how much the consumer allegedly overpaid.
The next hearing will happen on May 5, 2023, and the hearing will determine whether the settlement addresses legal fees, awards payments of up to $10,000 to the plaintiffs who brought about the case, and is reasonable.
This settlement is a significant development in the ongoing class-action lawsuit against American Airlines. The airline has agreed to reimburse customers for the baggage fees they should not have been charged, which may provide some relief for affected travelers.
