US lawmakers revise bill to ensure quick airline refunds
WASHINGTON -U.S. House and Senate negotiators agreed late Tuesday to revise language in an aviation reform bill to ensure quick refunds for airline passengers whose flights are canceled and who are not seeking alternative flights.
But under revised language first reported by Reuters and made public Tuesday, refunds would be automatic in many instances. Automatic refunds would not apply if passengers rebooked and accepted a new flight. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley had proposed an amendment to make the refunds automatic and "crack down on burdensome corporate processes put in place to maximize airlines’ profits." The new provision is similar to what Warren and Hawley had sought.
The bill prohibits airlines from charging fees for families to sit together, adds five daily roundtrip flights at busy Washington National Airport and requires airlines to accept vouchers and credits for at least five years.
