    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 99760
    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is seeking public feedback on potential new rules to protect airline passengers from financial losses caused by flight disruptions. These rules could require airlines to provide cash compensation, free rebooking, and amenities like meals and lodging when flights are significantly delayed or canceled due to reasons within the airline's control. The DOT is also considering how to ensure passengers quickly receive accurate information about their rights and options in these situations. The goal is to offer clear and automatic processes for passengers to obtain compensation and services, especially for travelers with disabilities who may face additional challenges.

    The U.S. Department of Transportation wants to make sure that if a flight gets canceled or delayed because of the airline, the people on the flight get some money back, can easily book a new flight, or get things like food and a place to sleep if needed. They want to hear what people think about these ideas and how they can make them work best for everyone.
