This airline ticket issue is markedly different in that you are virtually being held to ransom with your choices basically being take a credit which usually involves some admin fee or rebook on another flight at a price the airline determines.
And with fuel there is a benchmark thanks to the cartel. Airlines don’t have anywhere near the same oversight and can always hide behind commercial confidentiality if they are probed too deeply.
