There’s long awaited news for the airline passengers who filed a claim in the Korean Air class action settlement – Class Members should expect to receive a check and coupon code in April!
According to the Korean Air Passenger Antitrust Litigation Settlement Website, Judge Otero approved the motion for distribution of settlement funds yesterday.
If you bought at least one ticket for air travel on either Asiana Airlines or Korean Air between Jan. 1, 2000 and Aug. 1, 2007, and filed a claim for the class action lawsuit settlement, you don’t have to wait much longer for your payout!
Top Class Actions has been following the airline passenger class action lawsuit that accused Korean Air Lines and Asiana Airlines of conspiring to fix prices for air travel between the U.S. and the Republic of Korea since 2013.
Korean Air and Asiana Airlines agreed to pay $65 million to resolve the price-fixing class action lawsuit that alleged the companies agreed to establish artificially high prices for air passenger travel.
Class Members that submitted a valid Claim Form are expected to receive cash and coupons from the class action settlement, which will be distributed pro rata, based on the total number of qualifying purchases and valid Claim Forms submitted.
Korean Air Lines and Asiana Airlines deny the allegations raised in the class action lawsuit but agreed to a settlement to resolve the litigation.
The deadline to submit a Claim Form for the Korean Air settlement passed on Dec. 31, 2013.

call 6123592000 press 5 ask to speak to cole I got my amount 8000 dollars and coupons
No answer
I left a message for Cole and haven’t got a return call or email. $8000 seems to be a pretty high amount. Was that for one flight?
$8000 in cash? may i ask how many trips you took? i took 6 trips and am trying to calculate how much i should be getting.
Yeah right!!!
its says pro rata based on the number of valid claims submitted.
MIKE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THAT OUT AS THERE IS REALLY NO ONE AT THE ADMINISTRATION THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW MANY VALID CLAIMS THERE ARE. BUT YOU CAN CALL THE OFFICE OF ALL THE PLAINTIFFS LAWYERS AND YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY AND HAVE AN ATTORNEY WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THE CASE TO GIVE YOU THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VALID CLAIMS THAT RUST CONSULTING CAME UP WITH.
How much is the cash payment per ticket? and how much is the cash payment for the coupons? Where can you find this out in the class action settlement documents from the court?
You and everyone else has that same question and my guess is that we will probably just have to wait until we get it.
good answer Robert,although i do not understand why rust/admin are being so secret with check amount and coupon amount,everything is over now,they have updated everything else,why not that too.look like we all just have to wait and see.
