Passengers who use the practice try to save money by using only part of a multistop ticket. For example, a traveler would buy a ticket for a flight with an intermediate stop, then get off at that stop, in cases where the price for the two-stop trip is cheaper than flying direct to their destination. Airlines say doing so constitutes fraud and penalize travelers who do not use their entire ticket. Passengers have challenged the airlines' rules in court, accusing them of unlawfully conspiring to violate federal antitrust laws by prohibiting certain ticket purchases that resulted in lower costs for travelers. The lawsuit seeks about $1 billion in damages. In certifying the class action, United States District Judge Gerald E. Rosen decided Tuesday that the suit will include all passengers who bought full-fare tickets on Northwest Airlines that began or ended with flights at Northwest's Detroit or Minneapolis hubs since October 1992. It will also include US Airways passengers who bought tickets for travel at airports in Pittsburgh or Charlotte, N.C., since 1995 and Delta Air Lines passengers who bought tickets since 1995 involving trips that ended or began in Atlanta or Cincinnati. A Northwest spokesman, Kurt Ebenhoch, told The Detroit News that the ruling was "an expected step." He declined further comment. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/06/business/06ticket.html?ex=1084874018&ei=1&en=64631024fe5b160b --------------------------------- Get Home Delivery of The New York Times Newspaper.
