Making Airline Refund and Fee Transparency Rules Permanent Law.

This legislation aims to permanently establish two key consumer protection rules regarding air travel. It ensures that airlines must clearly disclose all extra fees (such as baggage or seat selection) upfront and adhere to established regulations concerning ticket refunds for canceled flights or other issues. This provides citizens with greater certainty regarding the final ticket price and their rights to compensation.
Key points
Rules governing airline ticket refunds are codified into permanent federal law, enhancing passenger protection.
Airlines must clearly and upfront display all ancillary service fees (e.g., baggage, change fees) to prevent hidden costs.
