The deadline for claims was June 1, 1993 (postmark). If you have not received your certificates, or have any other questions, write to Airline Antitrust Administration, PO Box 66, National Park, NJ 08063-0066. Please do not call the court. (If you didn't submit a claim by the deadline, it's too late. Over 4.3 million people filed claims successfully.) Class A claimants (1 trip) will get a booklet with $73 in coupons -- one $25, four $10, and one $8. Class B claimants (5+ trips) will get a booklet with $79 in coupons -- two $25, two $10, and one $9. Class C claimants (itemized trips) will get booklets of $25 coupons. The coupons have blackout dates around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. At first glance the booklet will appear to have twice as many certificates. Don't get confused -- the bottom certificate of each pair is to be used to get a replacement AirScrip certificate if you should get a refund of a ticket purchased using a certificate. [In a separate 18-OCT-94 settlement with state and local governments, the airlines have agreed to give government employees traveling on official business a 10% discount. This discount will provide up to a maximum of $40 million in discounts during the 18 month period after the settlement takes effect. Affected airlines include Alaska Air, American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, TWA, United, and USAir. The original antitrust settlement with consumers did not include state and local governments.] Vouchers are valid for three years and are effectively good for a 10% discount on the price of round-trip tickets. You can redeem them through your travel agent; you don't have to purchase the tickets directly from the airline. Tickets purchased using the vouchers are good for one year from the date of purchase. Vouchers may not be combined with any other special offer. Only you and your immediate family may use the vouchers unless you designate a different recipient when filing your claim. Vouchers may be used only for purchasing round trip tickets for travel within the continental US (Hawaii and Alaska are excluded, except for residents of those states). There are blackout dates around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years during which the vouchers may not be used. Tickets purchased using the vouchers will receive frequent flyer miles. [Note: The above is a very rough summary of the details of the voucher program. The rest of this section is from the original FAQ entry, and may not necessarily apply.] If you flew on American, Continental, Delta, Midway, Northwest, Pan Am, TWA, United, or USAir (US domestic flights only) between January 1, 1988, and June 30, 1992 from one of the following airports Atlanta Baltimore Boston Charlotte Chicago (O'Hare) Chicago (Midway) Cincinnati Cleveland Dallas/FW Dayton Denver Detroit Houston (IAH) Indianapolis Kansas City Los Angeles Memphis Miami Mpls/St Pl Nashville Newark New York (JFK) New York (LGA) Orlando FL Philadelphia Pittsburgh Raleigh/Durham St. Louis Salt Lake City San Francisco San Jose Syracuse Washington (National) Washington (Dulles) you are probably eligible for part of the $364 million antitrust settlement. This settlement is in response to a suit charging that they conspired to fix prices through a computerized reservation system. If you write to Airline Antitrust Litigation P.O. Box 209 Philadelphia, PA 19107-9711 they will send you a claim form and instructions. You can also call them at 1-800-854-7264. (An alternate address is PO Box 267, Pennsauken, NJ 08110.) If you've taken at least one eligible trip, you will get a $100 voucher good for travel on either Northwest Airlines only, or on the other airlines (the restrictions on the vouchers differ, see below). You choose which kind of vouchers you prefer, subject to availability. If you've taken at least 5 round trips or 10 one-way trips (or some combination), you will receive $250 in vouchers. If you've taken more flights, you can file additional documentation with your claim, and receive vouchers for 10% of the actual amount spent. This is a gross oversimplification of the terms of the settlement. If more than 2,689,840 claim forms are submitted, the base $100 amount will be reduced. If the total payout exceeds $364 million, the program ends. Certificates may be used only as partial payment toward a ticket; they may not exceed the price of the ticket.
