On December 18, 2025, a lawsuit was initiated against Delta and KLM in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. This lawsuit pertains to a Virginia family’s journey on March 21, 2025, from Roanoke to Belgrade, with flights conducted by Delta and KLM. The family asserts that they were bitten by bed bugs during their KLM premium economy flight, despite making their reservation through Delta via SkyMiles. They claim that the crew minimized the problem to prevent a scare and suggested they remain quiet to secure their connecting flight. Upon arriving in Belgrade, they addressed the bites, which resulted in lasting marks and disrupted their holiday. The family is pursuing $200,000 in damages for their pain and expenses. The case prompts discussions regarding the accountability of airlines and potential compensation for such occurrences.
