Have you ever wondered exactly what your rights are when your flight is overbooked, baggage lost, damaged, or delayed, connection missed, non-refundable ticket unused, your tickets lost or stolen, rental car tire flat, hotel room given away, or your passport stolen? The answers to these questions are not easy to find.. Who has to pay? What are the compensation limits? Who can you contact? Or, do you just have to take your lumps? Sometimes you have no choice. Charles Leocha, on of America's most respected travel writers, gives you the answers you need based on four decades of international travel experience combined with intensive research and discussions with dozens of government agencies, airlines, and corporations. He clearly outlines your travel rights and tells you what you can do to try to straighten out a problem.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Savvy travelers may be aware of many of the items in this handy tote-sized guide to what to do when things go wrong on airline or rental car trips, but others might have to learn these lessons the hard way. Leocha (Skiing America, World Leisure, 1997) spells out what can be done when airline luggage gets lost or delayed, a rental car reservation disappears off the computer, or flights are overbooked. Equivocations such as "should," "might," and "possibly" indicate that no hard-and-fast rules exist for every airline, credit card company, or rental car agency. However, this information will serve travelers well, especially when they are facing employees doing their best to protect their company. Highly recommended for all public library collections.?Joseph L. Carlson, Vandenberg AFB Lib., Lompoc, CA
