UPDATE:
- On Feb. 13, 2019, a $58 million settlement was reached to resolve class action allegations that All Nippon Airways engaged in a price-fixing scheme on transpacific flights.
A near $50 million Transpacific Airlines class action settlement has been expanded to include four more airlines.
If you purchased a plane ticket between Jan. 1, 2000 and Dec. 1, 2016 that included a flight that started in the United States and flew to Asia or Oceania, you may benefit from the Transpacific Airlines class action settlement.
The Transpacific Airline antitrust class action lawsuit alleged that dozens of airlines entered into a price-fixing scheme affecting consumers who wished to fly between the U.S. and Asia or Oceania. Originally, the plaintiffs claimed that the airlines also fixed prices for flights for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
In 2015, eight defendant airlines agreed to pay nearly $40 million to end the Transpacific Airline antitrust class action lawsuit, including Air France, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, Malaysian Airlines, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, and Vietnam Airlines.
Recently, Air New Zealand Limited, China Airlines Ltd., EVA Airways Corporation, and Philippine Airlines Inc. have agreed to settle the Transpacific Airline antitrust class action lawsuit. In total, they have agreed to pay $49.9 million, with EVA agreeing to pay $21 million and China Airlines paying $19.5 million to end the litigation.
One airline, All Nippon Airways, has not yet agreed to settle the Transpacific Airline antitrust class action lawsuit.
The Transpacific Airline antitrust class action lawsuit alleged that the airlines conspired to hike airfare, as well as surcharges, on these international flights as a way to artificially inflate the prices as well as their profits.
The additional four airlines that agreed to settle the Transpacific Airline antitrust class action lawsuit do not admit any liability under the terms of the settlement.
The deadline for Class Members to opt out or exclude themselves from the settlement is Aug. 30, 2018.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members include those who purchased flights from Air New Zealand Limited, China Airlines Ltd., EVA Airways Corporation, or Philippine Airlines Inc. from Jan. 1, 2000 and Dec. 1, 2016. The flights must have included a segment that originated in the U.S. and flew to Asia or Oceania.

@greg I totally 100% agree with you, I too have been reading the comments here and cannot believe that many cannot read and follow the award calculations nor do basic math. Yeah, I’m really sure they are “frequent” transpacific flyers. Some question border on grade school level. Unfortunate that the people that really flew the flights dont get the deserved refund.
if you follow some of these comments it appears that many/most seem desperate for this check. Hey this is not winning the Powerball lottery at most were talking about a couple of hundred MAYBE a few will get a couple of thousands. But some comments are like counting the minutes…..OMG
Sonny,
“What you think..”
I think it a business posts in the morning that checks were mailed they should have been mailed when they posted the update.
I was providing info to people who will be waiting for their checks, if you don’t like it, that’s on you.
I have a career, not dependent on settlements (hilarious you who is also commenting on this thread want to tell someone to get a job-this one I happen to qualify for and I know some are waiting for pretty big checks and know they are eager.
It’s NOT much if THEY didn’t send in proof
You can actually buy phoney proof.. credit card slips, receipts, custom orders taken. A whole cottage industry which supplies fake receipts expressly for occasions such as settlements.
Hopefully you get it tomorrow. Let us know please.
If you didn’t send in proof u NOT getting much back
Didn’t have proof and have verified amount of $11,265.55
Good for you Jason
My amount is $58z that’s it…
You got $58
No check
Distributed today from what it states
Yes
Folks don’t get your hopes up too high about receiving a big check. I email them a few days ago and get response back today and was told I will receive a check for $43 rounding it to the nearest dollar. The checks was mailed out today.
These are facts and u we see.
Its different for everyone. It doesnt mean we are all getting what you are getting. It all depends on which ones you qualified for. And how many. It varies.
Everyone’s amount is different. Some getting $2 I’m getting close to $18k.
That’s great. I’m getting a little over $12K
How did you figure out how much you are getting
That much
How many tickets did you have?
What airlines did you have?
I live in the same city that the checks are being mailed from, so realistically if they were really sent today, I should see mine tomorrow, hopefully they are really sent already and not wait till after the business day so there would be more delays.
I will comment tonight after 7 if it shows up in my informed delivery for tomorrow.
I was approved for some of my flights and my payment is going to be under $500 based on the amounts per airline, not nearly as much as originally expected.
Thank You!!!
Don’t understand why people bother lying about the amounts and when they receive their payments
It is beyond weird
The only explanation I can come up with for some of these crazy posts is that there are some institutionalize mentally ill people who are allowed occasional internet access and at the same time get off their meds. Talk about not having a life.
So my informed delivery shows 3 pieces of mail and and only 2 photos so usually that is a magazine or something. So I do not think it’s in my mail tomorrow, even tho I live in the town they are sent from and have an approved claim. Maybe they sent after biz hours
There are better claim sites
How many tickets did you have?
70 tickets total
I’m not sure how they got their calculations
Distribution March 17
AND NOW THE CRAZINESS STARTS TILL PEOPLE REALLY GET A CHECK
We know Wilbur
