> You can find it to be whatever you want, but it is legal and not fraud. It's fraud and it's legal. Which is why the EU cracks down on it pretty hard with large settlements, fines, and the passing of passenger bill of rights. In this thread alone you see passengers offered $100s - $1000s in compensation. Do you think those airlines wanted to pay out compensation? Those fines are statute according to the terms of passenger rights, which you will find printed on the back of every ticket. Just like speeding, most don't get caught. But just because they don't does not make it any less illegal.
