President Joe Biden on Monday announced a new proposed rule to strengthen consumer protections for air travelers as they purchase tickets.
Under the proposed rule, airlines and travel search websites would be required to disclose the first time an airfare is displayed any fees charged to sit with your child, change or cancel flights or for checked or carry-on baggage. The announcement at a meeting of the White House Competition Council, is aimed at providing customers with the information they need to choose the best deal and eliminate surprise fees.
