🛫💸 Biden Wants Airlines to Pay Passengers for Flight Delays & Cancellations 🛬💰
The Biden administration is announcing a new rule that will make airlines pay passengers for long flight delays and cancellations that are under the airlines’ control. 🧳🚨 The Transportation Department will start the rule-making process for this, but there are no specifics yet, like how much money airlines have to pay travelers. 🤔✈️ No U.S. airline guarantees cash compensation right now for delays or cancellations, but President Biden wants to change that. 🇺🇸🔄
The airline industry is under watch after numerous problems, like flight disruptions last year when air travel returned after the coronavirus pandemic. 🌏😷 In December, a winter storm caused a big mess for Southwest Airlines, leaving passengers stranded during the holiday travel season. 🌨️🎄
The new proposal will add to the work Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is doing to help improve the customer experience when flying. 🧑✈️👨✈️ The department has been giving fines to airlines for numerous violations, including ones related to customer refunds. 🚫💸
In September, the Transportation Department created an online dashboard to show travelers what services they receive when flights are delayed or canceled for reasons that are the airline’s fault. 🖥️🔎 Buttigieg credits the dashboard for making airlines improve their policies. The dashboard is now at FlightRights.gov and has info about compensation airlines are offering for delays and cancellations. 🌐📊
The department is pushing airlines to make sure young children can sit with an accompanying adult at no extra charge. 🧒👩🦳 In March, the department unveiled a similar dashboard showing which airlines are doing this. 📋✅
The proposal to make airlines pay passengers is part of the Biden administration’s plan to help consumers. 🛍️📈 In his State of the Union address in February, President Biden talked about reducing “junk fees” and told airlines not to charge families for sitting together. 🎤👨👩👧👦
The new proposal is similar to the policy in the European Union, where passengers can receive up to €600, or about $660, for delayed or canceled flights. 🇪🇺💶 The proposal will also require airlines to pay for things like meals and hotel rooms when caused by delays or cancellations under the airlines’ control. Many airlines are already doing this. 🍽️🏨
Airlines for America, a trade association for the largest airlines in the country, said U.S. airlines don’t want to delay or cancel flights and always try to make them on time. 🕒🛩️ But safety is always the top priority. The group mentioned factors outside the airlines’ control, like weather and air traffic control outages. 🌩️🚦
At the White House, Buttigieg talked about the “unacceptable” rates of delayed and canceled flights last summer, but said things will get better. 🏛️🌞 “Each month so far this year, preliminary data show cancellation rates under 2 percent, even during the busy spring break season,” he said. 🌴🌊 But summer travel will put enormous pressure on the system, and they need to keep working hard. 💪🏖️
The new proposal to help passengers who are delayed or canceled is a significant step for the Biden administration’s push to help consumers. 🚀👍 It will take time to get the rule in place, but this move will show airlines that they need to step up their game and take care of the passengers who are counting on them. 🌟👏
So the next time you’re flying and experience a delay or cancellation, remember that the government is trying to help you out. 🧍♀️🧍♂️ No matter what, the key is to stay patient, be prepared, and try to enjoy the ride. 🌈🌺
