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 live in California and my sister received a check and I didn’t received one yet!
Live in Illinois and received my check today. Four economy class round trips and 1 one way trip. I received a check for $312.83 and total coupons for $257.90. Hope this helps~
Has anyone in California received any checks?
yes and it is $ 66.33 cents for the cash, coupons Asiana $15.00 and Korean $ 35.00 this is a round trip ticket so do not get too excited.
This is crazy, I took 12 trips (7 Korean, 5 Asiana) from 2000-2007, including evidence of such and I got a check for $92, plus roughly $50 in vouchers – I am thankful to get anything back, but its absurd how many people are getting thousands with no documentation – they are essentially stealing from those with legitimate claims.
I didn’t receive any email from them. And I ‘m waitting for the check. I traveled 14 times us to korea between 2007-2000. Offcause I purchased ticket in us. How much can I get check ? Someone got $2,600. Someone got only $ 60. I don’t undeestand This $60. And. Who is gonna get blind money like applicant died or move out home and forgot this settlement..
The truth is $ 66.33 cents for cash $ 15.00 Asiana coupon $35.00 for Korean one round trip
UPDATE 3: On June 29, 2016, Top Class Actions viewers started receiving checks in the mail from this class action settlement worth as much as $2643.61.
Just got mine today I got my check for 2,643.31 I was shocked lol, Korean air coupon code for 1600$ and Asians for 607$
Wow! How many flight tickets you claimed?
YOU NEED NOT LIE!!! NO ONE IS GETTING THAT AMOUNT. THEY ARE PROBABLY LAUGHING AT YOU FOR ACCEPTING THAT… WAKE UP!!
And finally boys and girls after all the whistles and bells have been sounded, I finally received my check this morning for a grand total of, get ready……………….63.32. The Korean Air coupon code is for 37. 84 and the Asiana code is 14.55. Now my check maybe this low since I did not have many flights on Korean Air. Oh well, I can buy myself lunch at Applebees.
Congrats, not much amount. Disappoint.
That’s ridiculous!
why is that ridiculous? You do know that there are people who probably flew to korea multiple times a year for that seven year period. That amount sounds correct if they are going to pay per flight and not per person filed.
Same amount here.
