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.

I spoke with someone from Rust. He said he could not give out any amount. I spoke with him last Friday, all he said that checks were being mailed out on the 27th. I don’t trust anyone with an amount.
And that was for how many flights?
I find it interesting that Rust finally answered my email TODAY of all days (the day the checks are mailed) regarding the amount of the checks being sent out but of course they could not give me specifics on the amounts.

UPDATED: June 27, 2016
The settlement checks and coupon codes were mailed out to verified claimants on June 27, 2016.
I am wondering why the post I left yesterday asking why Rust was being so secretive regarding the amounts of the awards and also the reply was taken down overnight? I find this odd???
There have been a few lawsuits that I’ve been a part of where they would not release the check amount until they were in the mail. The cosmopolitan lawsuit was one and so was zara. Neither were handled by rust. CPT, the claims administrator for cosmopolitan, said that they wanted to prevent being bombarded with calls from claimants
I posted years ago how dirty Rust is and I pretty much go tackled by Rust employees posing as consumers, please see Bank of America settlement. They followed me over to various other settlement sites trying to get a rise out of me and get me banned from this site. Well they failed and will continue to fail. Rust is dirty collecting $1000s in interest while you guys wait for your money. Please research six continents hotel settlement. They try and pull one over on us by posing as regular claimants and by trying to get a rise out of people so they dont file claims anymore. Jeff we are onto you but its not going to work but nice try. Good people will continue to get what belongs to them no matter how hard you try and bash them or me.
Rust did not handle the six continents claims
I am just curious when this will all be over and if the wait is worth it??? I paid for 6 round trip tickets to Korea during this time period so I am hoping this isn’t one of those $1.99 rebates.
UPDATE 2: According to the Settlement Administrator, checks and coupon codes will be distributed to Class Members on June 27, 2016.
Heard this crap before. Just wait until June 27th comes around and the date bet not change!!!
