New Airline Passenger Refund Rules

Share

The Biden administration is proposing rule changes to compensate passengers for flight delays.  Airlines would be required to offer compensation beyond refunds for “controllable” flight cancellations or significant delays, according to a White House official.  Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are taking the first step today in the rule-making process to examine whether airlines must also provide compensation and cover expenses for meals, lodging, and rebooking when they’re responsible for stranding passengers.  In the meantime, consumers will be able to check the government site FlightRights.gov to see what airlines currently offer — which the administration says is not enough.
