Airline Passenger Bill of Rights
There are some good ideas in the Draft Airline Passenger Bill of Rights that is being proposed as law. I doubt that all of the provisions will make it. In particular, the compensation formulas for when an airline screws up (is late, loses your bags, etc.) can probably be scaled back to something relatively simple that still works. I’m not sure how they will account for bad weather or “acts of god” that are not the airline’s fault. The actual bill as of six months ago is here.
I’ve got a handful of airline stories that I’ll be sharing soon.
