New Passenger Protection Policies Pushed for the Summer Travelers
By Mikee. Filed in Travel News, travel tips |
With the Summer season setting in, a lot of people are set to embark on various travel itineraries. However, the problem here may yet lie on how fast they can book their flights and set reservations. And for the passengers, there will be cases where they may be bumped off by airlines and perhaps charged more for their trip. But this may all change if the Department of Transportation applies the new policies which seem to be favoring passengers getting the raw end of their travel needs.
A slew of new passenger protections are under consideration by the department of transportation including an increase of what airlines pay passengers if they’re bumped from an oversold flight to as much as 1300 dollars and guaranteeing a full refund for a cancelled ticket within 24 hours of its purchase.
The new protections will also include no more surprises; airlines would have to disclose baggage fees up front and reimburse passengers for expenses when luggage isn’t delivered on time. They are also putting a stop to hidden charges making it so all costs would have to be included in the advertised price.
