Seems like the Biden Administration has been trying to speed run the “good ideas” list as we move into election season. This is a great change. The bullshit “refund” system airlines have been using needed killing. We had a family trip get canceled due to the pandemic and ended up with a “credit” from the airline which had a laundry list of restrictions on it, making it very difficult to use. If I pay a company money for a service and they fail to provide that service, there should be no situation under which they are allowed to keep my money.
On the other piece of this, it will be nice to see baggage fees up front. I’m probably weird in that I don’t mind paying per checked bag. Most of my travel is with my family and we really don’t need a checked bag per person. So, I’d rather pay a bit less for the tickets and pay for the bags we do need separately. At the same time, I’d absolutely love to have that cost be considered when I am searching for flights.
