« Reply #1 on: October 10, 2019, 02:35:06 PM »
Can anyone confirm that UIA was targeting jews and charging them extra even though it was the right size?

Aeroflot did selective charging no rhyme or reason according to a family member who flew after RH.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

It's time for some DOT complaints.

And maybe some lawsuits.

True,no evidence of profiling.

But makes my blood boil watching these agents abuse their powers, and nothing you can do.
Sure you can. Vote with your wallet.

That's what they are doing, flying the cheapest available option available on an OTA.

Given that the flight Motzai YK out of NY was 80%+ yidden (which by the way they rescheduled only because of YK) it's easy to say that they targeted only Jews as there was hardly any other

precisely the opposite, the more "Jewish" the flight is, the easier it is for them to deny racial profiling and just claim that "We Treated All Passengers Very Poorly"
