for example, airlines are required to respond to the d.o.t. within 30 days of getting a complaint from a consumer. the d.o.t. received more than 18,000 complaints about airlines last year. we're not sure how many were successful but we know at least one consumer prevailed in 2018 and that is daria. the original airline refunded the extra $835 she had to pay. we put a link to the d.o.t.'s complaint form on our consumer web page. look for consumer resources. while you're there, you can send us a tip or call us 888-996-tips. america celebrates asian and pacific islanders culture and heritage during the month of may. this year marks 40 years since president jimmy carter signed that recognition into law. >> and happening today in san francisco, late mayor ed lee will be honored for his service.
