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.

name change on non refundable ticket

i recently purchased two ticket to thailand on the 27/11/2013 to leave on the 19/1/2013, the airline i will be travelling with is etihad. i purchased the ticket through lastminute however when booking the ticket i made a mistake with one of the names.

i have called both etihad and lastminute to correct this mistake however both companies are refusing to correct this mistake saying that the ticket has to be cancelled and i will not receive a refund. however much i protest this i am not receiving any help.

i have noticed that other people on this site have had similar problems and after posting a thread they have received direct help from etihad and corrected the mistake. i dont mind having to pay a small fee to change the name however i find it completely unreasonable having to cancel the ticket and not receiving a refund.

my hope is that someone from etihad will read this and provide some help without having to cancel the ticket.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

james
