Fair Fees Act

This bill would require airlines flying to, from, or within the United States to give a full cash refund, including taxes and extra fees, when they cancel a flight or significantly delay or change it and the passenger chooses not to fly or accept another option. Refunds would be due within 7 business days for credit card purchases and within 20 days for other payments. Passengers who cancel a ticket at least 48 hours before departure with a large airline or a ticket agent would get a full cash refund within 30 days. Airlines could offer vouchers or credits instead only if the passenger is told they can choose cash and the vouchers never expire. A significant delay means arriving 3 or more hours late on a domestic flight or 6 or more hours late on an international flight.
