If you had a flight canceled through Southwest Airlines, you might find out about the lawsuit even if you don't contact an attorney.
Following the days of Southwest Airlines' flight cancellations, a lawsuit has been filed, but legal experts caution there could be a big payday, and it's not for angry customers.
Shellist said this is because the lawsuit goes after Southwest for money lost in flights and other expenses. It doesn't go after Southwest for the pain and anguish caused by people not being able to get home for the holidays. "I would imagine people are going to start to get letters in the mail and correspondence from the law firm asking if they want to join this lawsuit," Shellist said.
"They'll be lucky to get back what they're out-of-pocket," Shellist explained. "That's it. Not much more."
