Question

Help answer this question below.

I missed a flight from Rome to the U.S. and they charged $4,500.00 to get home on top of the already paid fair. Is there any way to recoup some or all? I was fully prepared to pay a penalty...but this was extortion.

    See a licensed attorney in your state about a possible lawsuit, but it's my opinion that any attorney will tell you that it is a total waste of your time, because by paying the extra money and boarding the flight offered to you, you ACCEPTED their "offer" voluntarily, and you were not forced to board that aircraft, right?
