American Airlines Baggage Fees
Allegations: Falsely representing that certain passengers don’t have to pay for checked bags

The complaint was originally filed in state court in April 2018 and transferred to federal court in May 2018. (Schultz et al v. American Airlines, Inc., Case No. 18-cv-80633, S.D. Fla.)
