This site aims to help airline passengers who face arrogant and unfair treatment with little access to affordable legal advice. In respond to airline abuse and irresponsible behavior, suetheairlines.org provides you specific tools to file a complaint against airlines, read about actual cases against airlines, laws and statutes, write your congressman about any concerns regarding mistreatment by airlines and join the forum where you can share stories and learn different cases of airline related offenses.

The Small Claims Court is an effective way to haul the airlines to the bar of justice at minimum cost to you and with maximum inconvenience to the airline. We have sample small claims documents for your guidance and information to help you in knowing in what state it is best to file your claim.
