You’re entitled to a small refund if you bought tickets for a long haul flight on British Airways or Virgin Atlantic between August 11, 2004 and March 23, 2006. The amount is $7-$34 per flight taken. This is the settlement in a class action lawsuit contending the two airlines colluded to fix the price of fuel surcharges. More info at airpassengerrefund.com. [via RickSeaney]

Hey, this actually applies to me! I had to check my journal archives to find out when I bought my September 2004 tickets to London, but I ordered them on August 16. $7 refund, here I come!
Without clicking to see the terms, I’d like to posit a guess:
1) $50 Million to some lawyers
