Re: What happens if I go to small claims against a giant airline?
Small claims rules are very bizarre; you must file the lawsuit where the HQ of the company is located. This actually leads to a lot of problems trying to file suit against internet scammers because they hide their location and their company doesn't really have an easy-to-find location.
I am no expert, I have done only cursory research, so if I am wrong I would appreciate being corrected. And of course don't take my word for gold here. -Michael

Re: What happens if I go to small claims against a giant airline?
I have it on good authority that threatening to write a letter directly to the DOT may have a positive effect on your case.
No guarantees, but I've heard of airlines getting motivated about such things. -d

They realize that they can't give in to every small claim just cause its gonna cost them more to fight it.

The court clerk will tell you how to serve the papers. I don't know if they'll send a lawyer but who cares? You're on a freeroll. Show your stuff and see what happens. If you get a judgement I can't imagine an airline simply ignoring it but if they do you get to have fun foreclosing on one of their 747's.
