End Airline Extortion: Banning Incentives for Ancillary Fees and Price Discrimination.
This bill aims to protect passengers from unfair airline practices by prohibiting carriers from paying employees bonuses for charging mandatory add-on fees for services like baggage or seating. It also bans airlines from setting different fares or ancillary fees for the same service based on a passenger's disability or familial status. This ensures fairer pricing and reduces pressure on travelers to pay unexpected costs.
