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.
