Jeff Berman’s flight from Seattle to Quebec City was a nightmare. A delay on the first leg of his flight left him stranded in Calgary, and the only way out was to buy a new ticket to his final destination.

Catriona Garry missed her flight from Edinburgh to Dublin due to Aer Lingus' staffing issues, which led to a three-hour wait with only one ticket agent. Consequently, she missed her connecting flight to Boston and was wrongly charged $1,200 in rebooking fees. Despite contacting Aer Lingus for six months and escalating the issue to their CEO, she faced delays and unhelpful responses. After a thorough review of her case, highlighting the responsibilities of Aer Lingus and their third-party partner, Swissport, the airline finally refunded her rebooking fees nearly seven months after her trip.
