The Enhancing Transparency from Airlines Act of 2024 converts two recent Department of Transportation rules into permanent federal law. The first rule requires airlines to provide refunds and other consumer protections, while the second mandates that airlines disclose ancillary service fees, such as baggage and seat selection charges, in a transparent manner. These rules, issued in April 2024, will now be legally binding on all airlines operating in the United States and cannot be easily reversed through future regulatory changes. The legislation affects all airline passengers by ensuring they have clearer information about true ticket costs before purchase. No specific funding is allocated in this bill, as it primarily codifies existing regulatory requirements into statutory law.
