Bill > HR6820

This bill, titled the "Airline Passenger Compensation Act of 2025," mandates that the Secretary of Transportation, within one year of enactment, establish rules requiring airlines to compensate passengers for significant flight delays or cancellations that are within the airline's control. Specifically, if a passenger arrives more than three hours but less than nine hours late, they are entitled to compensation of up to $300 and a rebooked connecting flight at no extra cost if their original connection is missed. If the delay is nine hours or more, the compensation increases to a maximum of $775, with the same provision for rebooking missed connections. These compensation requirements are separate from existing rules that allow passengers to receive a refund for flights that are canceled or significantly delayed.
