A new proposal from the United States Transportation Department might force airlines to provide refunds to passengers. Only if their flight schedule changes considerably or if the airline modifies their trip route significantly.
According to The Associated Press, the idea would force airlines to issue refunds if departure or arrival times vary by three hours. But it can be more for a domestic travel or a minimum of six hours for an international journey. Refunds would be issued if the airline changed the traveler’s departing or arrival airport, added stops, or caused a downgrading. Refunds would be given to travellers who also purchased nonrefundable tickets.
United States plan…
“When Americans buy an airline ticket, they expect to arrive safely, reliably, and inexpensively.” This was stated by Unites States Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a news release. “This new proposed regulation will safeguard travellers’ rights and assist guarantee they receive prompt reimbursements from airlines.”
