United States First Circuit

Dismissal of plaintiff-skycaps' common-law claims for unjust enrichment and tortious interference based on the defendant-airlines' imposition and retention of baggage-handling fees for curbside service is affirmed, where, to the extent that a state common-law claim relates to a price, route, or service of an air carrier, as it does here, it is preempted by the Airline Deregulation Act.
