Bad Experience with United Airlines
My friend Mahesh’s parents have apparently had a very bad experience with United Airlines. Mahesh is a very low-key, down-to-earth guy, and it would take a lot to upset him, so this must’ve been egregious. Check out his Evil United Airlines blog for the details.

Yick. That sounds awful. At first I thought his use of the word “extortion” was hyperbole, but after reading the story I think it’s accurate. Forcing anyone to pay an additional $3000 in the middle of their multi-leg international journey is literally extortion. “Oops, we lost our record of your ticket” isn’t sufficient excuse on UAL’s part.
I hope Mahesh finds justice and his parents get their money back.
Thanks for the comments Chris. I appriciate you visiting my blog and for your thoughts.
