DEFOREST, Wis. — If you had to cancel vacation plans because of the pandemic, you’re not alone – it’s cost Americans millions of dollars over the last year and a half.
Consumer complaints about canceled flights have skyrocketed during the pandemic, and lawmakers estimate about $10 billion was lost in canceled flights and outstanding credits. Steve Houghton from DeForest is one of those thousands of complaints after he lost $15,000 in flights for a canceled trip to Hawaii for his daughter, grandkids and their friends. He called for action to get that money back.
