Delta Air Lines Faces $5 Million Lawsuit Over 24-Hour Refund Policy
Delta Air Lines is facing a $5 million class-action lawsuit filed in a Georgia federal court. The suit alleges the airline's 24-hour refund policy is deceptive and violates US Department of Transportation regulations. The plaintiff claims he was denied a full refund for a ticket canceled within 24 hours of booking because the flight itself was scheduled to depart less than 24 hours later. The lawsuit argues that federal rules are more permissive than Delta's policy, creating an illegal and profitable practice for the carrier. It now seeks to represent all customers who have been similarly affected by this refund rule.
