Ending Exorbitant Airline Fees: New Rules for Passengers
This act aims to protect passengers from unfair airline fees. It prohibits airlines from charging fees that are disproportionate to their actual costs. This means airlines will no longer be able to arbitrarily set prices for reservation changes, baggage, or seat selection, and passengers with children aged 13 or younger will be able to sit together without extra charges.
Key points
Airlines will be prohibited from charging unreasonable fees for flight changes or cancellations, checked or carry-on baggage, and seat selection.
Fees must be proportional to the actual costs incurred by airlines.
Parents traveling with children aged 13 or younger will be guaranteed seats next to their children at no additional cost.
The Department of Transportation will establish detailed standards for assessing fee reasonableness and update them regularly.
