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.

Informed delivery tomorrow
What state?
What about it? You did not give any details. Are you getting a check in informed delivery or something?
It can’t be a check from this settlement. They have to wait until after 3/7/22 to make sure no appeal is filed. The earliest they can begin to send checks is tomorrow.
Mike, you absolutely right, earliest is tomorrow. someone was mentioned about 1099 form, don’t remember they ask SSN when claim was submitted. how is that work? Thanks.
I am sorry wasn’t done typing…My state just got informed delivery and was wondering does checks show up? Ty sorry once again.
ANY ONE HAVE PACER?? UPDATE??
lol the suspense
This is not a venue for politics – it has no place here
And you’ve had none
Hi,
Did checks go out yet? Any word or update
No one wants to say – do they get sent on the 7th? Or the 14th?
Ok thanks
7th through the 17th
1099 WILL BE SENT WITH CHECK PER MY EMAIL NOTHING ELSE I ASKED.
Ok thank u
what email did you send, when are they sending payments out? did they say?
Coming from someone who has been audited, please include this 1099 on your taxes. The IRS is brutal! However, I’m hoping as Callie noted below that the ticket price chart is accurate and the JAL $715 tickets are legit.
How many tickets did you have?
Are they going to start ailing the checks around March 7th? I’m anxious with anticipation. Also curious to see if the ticket price chart is accurate and if the JAL $715 tickets are legit, or if that had a different meaning.
You can go on their website, https://airlinesettlement.com/eng/, under court documents you’ll find the answers to your questions.
i’m dyslexic and cant understand the timmeline sorry, i thought march 7th or march 14th but cannot tell
What chart? I was approved for 58 tickets

MCCARTHY, LLP
The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs’ Administrative Motion to Extend Deadline to Distribute
Net Settlement Funds filed on February 14, 2022 (“Administrative Motion”). The Administrative
Motion seeks to extend the deadline for distribution of the net settlement funds from February 24,
2022 to March 17, 2022 to allow (1) the 30-day appeal period on Financial Recovery Services’
objection to expire and (2) a 10-day period from the end of the appeal period (i.e., March 7, 2022)
for the claims administrator and print vendor to print and mail checks to class members eligible for
payment from the net settlement funds.
Upon consideration and for good cause shown, the Court hereby GRANTS the requested
relief. The Court extends the deadline to distribute the net settlement funds from February 24, 2022
to March 17, 2022.
Pursuant to the Northern District of California’s Procedural Guidance on Class Action
Settlements, Plaintiffs shall submit a Post-Distribution Accounting detailing the status of
distribution 21 days after distribution of the net settlement funds, or on or before April 7, 2022.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Filed with the court on February 15th: The Court extends the deadline to distribute the net settlement funds from February 24, 2022 to March 17, 2022.
You don’t really believe Top Class Action posted that comment fo you? ????
TCA is correct! Everyone’s opinion is important!
They are not correct in that this isn’t the time or place for opinions on anything else but this class action!
Can confirm claims administrator has filed 2/14 for an extension of time to distribute settlement funds. So no checks have been mailed!
Thank you, Tony. What length of extension did the administrator file for?
30 days
Thank you!
30 days additional to the 21 days ? Or 30 days total ?
Why don’t you think she’s telling the truth? She said informed USPS so that means she sees it coming so why does that deem her a liar?
Informed delivery wouldn’t have given them an amount, only a pic of the outside of envelope
True but wouldn’t she already have been told the amount per our letter last August? I mean extend someone the benefit of the doubt…I know how much I’m anticipating don’t you?
Rust has asked for 30 more days to distribute. So there has been no checks released.
Benefit of the doubt given and like said..smh… it’s alot of untruths before payout
