Filing Case against airline in small claims court

[kapilgy]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX

I am planning to file a case against spirit airlines in small claims court. I live in Dallas fort worth area and they have their HDQ in FL. I want to know if I can file my case in the county where I live or Do I need to file it in the place where their HDQ is located? They lost my luggage when I was traveling from Dallas to vegas. I filed my lost luggage complaint in vegas. But the compensation they have provided is not sufficient. They have operations in Dallas Fort worth airport and I live in this area also.
Can someone please guide me about the location where this claim should be filed in small claims court?

You're stuck in FL:

I'm curious - what was in your luggage that you don't feel you were properly compensated for?

Further there are limits by law as to their responsibility.
What amounts are the issue here?

I was wondering that too. And, if the OP couldn't produce receipts for items with a claimed value over $50, that's another problem. Furthermore, by accepting the airline's settlement payment, the OP may have given up any further claim.
