Ending Hidden Fees: Price Transparency and Free Family Seating on Flights.
This Act protects consumers by forcing businesses (including hotels, ticket sellers, and communication providers) to display the full, final price of a good or service upfront, eliminating hidden and excessive fees. Furthermore, airlines are prohibited from charging fees to seat a young child (13 or younger) next to an accompanying adult. This ensures greater financial transparency and simplifies travel for families.
Key points
Full Price Disclosure: Businesses must show the total cost of a service or good, including all mandatory fees, in the initial advertisement or offer.
Ban on Excessive Fees: The law prohibits charging fees deemed excessive or deceptive, particularly in the lodging and ticket sales sectors.
Free Family Seating on Flights: Airlines must provide free adjacent seating for a young child (up to age 13) next to an accompanying adult if seats are available in the same class of service.
Limits on Early Termination Fees: Communication service providers (internet, phone) cannot charge excessive or unreasonable fees for early contract termination.
