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.

extra $90 baggage charge

I was traveling from Newark, NJ to Charolette, NC. I had already paid the $25 STANDARD baggage fee before my bag was weighted. Fine, my bag was over 10 pounds, I figured how much more could that possibly be??? WELL, US AIRWAYS HAS A STANDARD OVERAGE FEE OF $90!!! REALLY???? FOR 10 POUNDS???? That is just highway robbery!!

I will be letting every person i know and don't know how disgusting that is and you can mark my words after I go and buy an other small bag to fly home with, so that I will only be paying $50 for 2 bags instead of $115, I will NEVER EVER EVER use this horrible airline again.

WAY TO ROB YOUR CUSTOMERS US AIRWAYS!! WELL DONE............
