Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. and Asiana Airlines Inc. have reached a $65 million class action lawsuit settlement resolving allegations they conspired to fix prices for air passenger travel between the U.S. and the Republic of Korea. If you bought a qualifying ticket between January 1, 2000 and August 1, 2007, you may be entitled to cash and coupons for future air passenger travel as part of the class action settlement.
The Korean Air settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit that claims the alleged conspiracy included meetings, conversations and communications in the U.S. and elsewhere between the two Defendants during which they agreed to establish artificially high prices for air passenger travel.
In cases separate from this class action lawsuit, brought by the United States Department of Justice, the Defendants pled guilty to criminal antitrust violations and agreed to pay a fine. Despite pleading guilty in the DOJ cases, Korean Air Lines and Asiana Airlines deny the allegations raised in the class action lawsuit but have agreed to a settlement to resolve the litigation.

Wake up People Rust has been doing this over a decade one case they lied for over five years . Rip off Report.com Riff off report.com. thank God you all are understanding law abiding citizens, yall all got screwed with out oil and posted date will change again. So! Sad that Rust does this don’t care that yall already been violated and there nit going to stop. They shouldn’t exist. Sorry! Yall was mislead for years.
Rust are rip offs. 75 per claim as well as a coupon website. It’s just to hide the fact that Rust stole all the money.
Thanks for any information Eric, how did you cone up with that amout? One year ago Rust told me were all getting different amounts depends on how many trips, that’s why she couldn’t give me an amout at the time, it’s states that in paperwork, plus! I recorded the conversation I had with her
final amounts will be $75.00 per claim(no matter how many trips you took) and $115.00 in future travel coupons.It has cost millions and millions in fees and lawyers etc.I guess we should be lucky we are getting anything!!!
you dont know that. everybody needs to quit saying shit they dont know
Do the math people! There’s a ton of money missing. Certificate Clearing.com $37 mlillion in coupons, now $26 million in coupons. This case started with $125 million not $65 mlillion read deeper. Settlement administrator’s are given to much power which some temptations ate hard to pass, I want break down 1: How much Rust paid (thieves) 2: How much for Phantom website 3: Why all the lies which were there undoing put them in spotlight when you think after being buster over the last decade on riff off report.com. Yes! I’m pissed also. So! No amount of money can change that, which were not getting much any ways Rust Stole. I’m entitled to tell the truth
Does anyone know what the coupon exchange site address is?
google certificate clearing corporation and click to find useful information.
Per the clearing website. It mentions numbers. If you take the noted $27 mil in vouchers, divided by 87,000 class members. Thats about $300 per class member in coupons. About $500 in cash. Whats not clear is if that is 87,000 claims of flights where a claim is 1 flight or is it 87,000 class members with multi flights. ie 2 flights claimed would give you two $300 vouchers. Ill bet its per class member and one voucher.
I told everyone there were never building a website *were that money they claimed they used to build website * All class action coupons go through Certificate Clearing.com who’s been in business over 20 years, remember technical difficulties all lies all lies. Pkease! People! Don’t be surprised June 27th or right after, they come up with another lue, cause they can’t use building website(they didn’t build one but we paid for it out of our money) They can’t use technical difficulties on website they didn’t build, I’m not that forgiving to a company horrible, deceitfulness , a little check just pissed me off, now I’m ready for what they owe me. Pay attention people more lies coming our way, don’t get excited you been told six lies and another coming, believe the bolony.
You should also consider different types of tickets. Surely amounts for first, business and economy class tickets will be/should be different since their purchase prices are different. (Fisrt class = appx 4 X Econ and Business class = appx 2 X Econ) And we do not know how many claims are for what types of tickets. With that, the check amount we are all guesstimating can be far from the actual amount.
Any dollar amounts posted for each flight or coupon posted anywhere yet?
