Everyone has their own air travel horror story. This book features a collection of the frustrating (and unfortunately, all-too-familiar) stories about air travel that have intersected with the legal profession for one reason or another.
You find a compelling, detailed look into the legal wranglings of over 20 separate cases where passengers are bumped, falsely accused of assaulting ground personnel, mistakenly informed that they can't bring on board their spouse's cremated remains (which are subsequently lost in checked luggage), and more. You'll also find cases that take place in the air, involving hijackings, collisions with serving carts, falling luggage, and even gunfire. Misery loves company, and Cancelled, Delayed, Grounded offers some comfort – and many true stories – to the harried air traveler.
If you enjoyed any of the books in the ABA Little Book series, you’re sure to enjoy this sometimes irreverent look into air travel legalities, penned by one of the Little Book series most acclaimed authors. In addition, the book features numerous appendixes, including a primer on real-world air traveler’s rights, and a timeline of the history of commercial aviation.
Praise for Cancelled, Delayed and Grounded
"A fascinating insight into aviation's various idiosyncrasies and the interactions with the law. Everyone has a story about how they have flown and encountered various frustrations. Some of these have been carefully illustrated here, with extraordinary insight."
-Matthew Findlay, General Manager, Christchurch International Airport
"This is a riveting read about the travails of modern-day air travel. As a retired pilot for 33 years with a major airline, I found it to be a very interesting perspective on how passenger issues are resolved. Even for the non-lawyer, this is a real page-turner."
-Don Polan, Commercial airline pilot
