Swiss Air Investigation: Swiss Air is currently under investigation by AirlineComplaints.org for serious violations of passenger rights. Read more

Swiss Air Investigation (Dec 2025): Swiss Air is currently under investigation by AirlineComplaints.org for serious violations of passenger rights including but not limited to abandoning passengers at foreign airports; causing negligent delays that result in missed critical connections, particularly impacting travelers attending funerals; providing dishonest assurances through flight staff; failing to manage visa-related issues, leaving travelers stranded in untenable legal situations abroad; mishandling luggage containing essential medications; providing inadequate support for grieving passengers; refusing to offer readily available alternative flights; ineffective communication; causing emotional distress to affected passengers; poor coordination with partner airlines; systemic breakdowns in global phone-based customer support; technical failures on their lost luggage website; ignoring customer complaints; and breaching their fundamental duty of care to passengers.

Swiss Air Investigation Update (Feb 2026): Due to observed Swiss Air behavior, this investigation is escalating for additional serious violations of passenger rights including but not limited to issuing token and bad-faith refunds that bear no reasonable relation to the actual value of unused ticket segments; refusing to reimburse documented replacement transportation costs incurred as a direct result of their operational failures; misrepresenting nominal payments as meaningful refunds; failing to honor explicit written commitments to reimburse out-of-pocket expenses; forcing bereaved passengers to retrieve delayed baggage at their own expense despite being provided with a delivery address; shifting additional financial burdens onto passengers for fuel and transport required to recover mishandled luggage; attempting to substitute legally owed cash compensation with restrictive “goodwill” vouchers; implying that such vouchers constitute adequate settlement of unresolved claims; failing to provide transparent refund calculations or justification for nominal reimbursement amounts; and demonstrating bad-faith escalation handling through repetitive, non-authoritative, template-based responses that avoid substantive resolution.

We are expanding this investigation to the public and requesting feedback from Swiss Air customers here. Show less

Lost 40,000 miles and Delta won't credit them back

My miles were expiring on Dec 31, 2010 so to prevent from expiring I purchased on Dec 10th a gift certificate from Lands End using the Skymiles Marketplace. I called Delta Customer Service on Dec 20th as I didn't yet see the purchase and was informed to wait as it can take up to 45 days to appear. The rep said she would notate my account.

My miles expired and when I tried to correct and get them re-instated with Delta, they informed me gift certificates were not eligible and if I wanted my miles back, I would have to purchase them. I was NOT informed of the ineligibility by the Delta Customer Service req on Dec 20th - if they had I would done something else to prevent these miles from expiring.

I'm still disputing this with Delta. Has anyone had any similiar experience with Delta?

Regards, Deb
