I won my case. Sueing them was in my best interest. Of course I didn't get my full amount I was sueing them for....nor did I expect to get the full amount. For me it was about proving a point. In the end, they finally DID have to pay back all my out of pocket expense + I still came out ahead (certainly the hassle wasn't worth it - but the judge told me "you proved your point").

I am considering suing too (hubby a lawyer as well)

My issue is to do with the ridiculous overweight charge.

I had 2 suitcases and was hoping to use the smaller one as hand luggage.
As I checked in, at Heathrow, and had said goodbye to family, I had no alternative but to pay $250 dollars for the extra suitcase. (Almost equivalent to one way airfare)
A lot of people were being charged and were livid. The woman in the seat next to me said they do this frequently.
The next part of my journey was with westjet and they had no issue with me bringing the small case on as hand luggage.
Can you tell me more about the case. Who did Air Transat send as their rep?
My email is jennwright7@shaw.ca
Cheers and glad you won. I trust they paid the court costs too?
