The proposal comes less than two months after the Transportation Department sought stricter standards for when airlines have to refund travelers for delays.
A proposed rule would require airlines and online travel agencies to disclose fees like those for advanced seat selection, checked baggage and other add-ons.President Joe Biden plans to announce new rules on Monday that would require airlines and online travel agencies to disclose fees for seat selection, checked baggage and other add-ons along with fares, the administration's latest effort to bolster passenger protections after a rocky summer travel season.
"Airline passengers deserve to know the full, true cost of their flights before they buy a ticket," Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a news release."This new proposed rule would require airlines to be transparent with customers about the fees they charge, which will help travelers make informed decisions and save money."
