"Biden's Travel Compensation Plan Aims to Benefit Passengers"

The Biden administration has proposed a new rule that would require airlines to compensate passengers for expenses and lost time caused by carrier-caused flight delays and cancellations. Under the new rule, airlines would have to cover certain expenses for passengers as well as pay them in cash, miles, or travel vouchers. The Department of Transportation is still working out the specifics of how much travelers will be able to expect to be paid for their lost time or how claims will be handled. The rule could still evolve or be scrapped, and for now, passengers can keep track of airline compensation policies at FlightRights.gov.
