US DOT Office of Enforcement is out with a consent order and civil fine of $100,000 against Delta Air Lineshttp://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/6121600/# for violations of consumer advertising requirements.

DOT investigation found that between November 2012 and February 2014, DL advertised several
fare specials offering prices each-way without required special disclosure that fares required round-trip purchase.
Further DOT found the fine print disclaimer provided by
Delta in the advertising was insufficient nor prominent and proximate the the advertised fares.


Order 2014-7-7
