5 million over bag fee
(CNN) Lots of fliers hate paying for checked bags,air max 95, but one air traveler was so frustrated by the fee and a lost bag that she's taking an airline to court.
Danielle Covarrubias of Pierce County, Washington, wants American Airlines to pay $5 million.
The airline "has breached its agreements with its passengers every time they have lost or delayed luggage and failed to refund the passengers their baggage fee," according to a class action complaint Covarrubias filed in federal court earlier this month.
But American Airlines is disputing her version of events and stressing that passengers can always request a fee refund as part of a baggage claim.
In the court papers,louboutin pas cher, Covarrubias said she paid $25 in May to check her bag with American Airlines for flights from Seattle, Washington, to Grand Rapids,celine bags, Michigan,mulberry handbags, but the bag was nowhere to be found when she arrived.

"In her last conversation with American Airlines,tom shoes, [she] asked what the Airline could do. She was told nothing could be done."

American Airlines counters the incident in question happened on a flight from Chicago,valentino shoes, Illinois,montblanc, on the second leg of her trip to Michigan. (American doesn't have nonstop flights from Seattle to Grand Rapids.)
That flight was canceled, so American booked Covarrubias on another airline,coach outlet, said American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith.

"We are told by the other carrier that at no time did Ms. Covarrubias ever make any claim with them for damages for her late arriving bag or anything else," Smith said.
American Airlines hasn't been able to find any record of Covarrubias ever contacting or speaking to American about her delayed bag, a possible claim,insanity workout, or checked bag charges, Smith said.
