    Suing an airline
    I purchased tickets for my wife and I for a trip to Bolivia in AeroSur. About a week before our trip our flight was rescheduled but we finally made it there. We knew AeroSur was going to a tough economical situation but when I spoke to their reps they asured me that everything was fine and that the flights were going to take place. When we got there the airline ceased all operations and we were left stranded with no way to contact the airline because they closed all offices. We feared the worst so we just purchased tikets on American and flew back one day late. The tickets on American cost us roughly $2500 total and the tickets in AeroSur were about $1500, I want my money back, all of it. AeroSur has signed a new contract with an investor in Bolivia and will soon begin its operations again. After several attempts to contact the airline I was unsuccessful and at this point I feel like the victim of a scam or fraud. The airline operates flights from DCA, and MIA to SCZ Bolivia and has offices in VA and MIA. I want to sue and would like help in doing so. Thank you, Alex

    My reseach indicates that AeroSur has reorganized and specifically disclaims all debts.

    At any rate - you can sue anyone for anything. Other people are suing, of course.

    I don't see that you have anything to lose at this point.

    When a firm folds like that and reopens, you can bet, the reorganized in such a way as to disclaim previous debts. On the other hand, filing in small claims court is cheap.

    You should have purchased travel insurance, especially since "We knew AeroSur was going to a tough economical situation".
