Gabor Lukacs has won over 25 regulatory complaints against airlines – and even taken airlines to court to uphold the rights of passengers. But he doesn’t want to keep his methods a secret – he’s here to tell you how to get a refund, get compensation for a cancelled flight, and even what to do if you’re sitting on the tarmac for hours.

Correction: In this episode it was originally stated that Flair airlines ceased operating. Flair airlines is in fact still operating.
