Choices for Stranded Passengers Act of 2023

The Choices for Stranded Passengers Act of 2023 requires airlines to provide free alternative flights on another carrier when a passenger's flight is delayed or canceled due to the airline's own actions (a "controllable" delay) and the delay meets the definition of significant (3+ hours for domestic flights, 6+ hours for international flights). This applies to passengers traveling on flights with 31 or more seats. Airlines must offer this free alternative transportation option if it gets passengers to their destination sooner than waiting for the original flight or another flight by the same airline, or allow passengers to choose free ground transportation or a full refund instead. Airlines must clearly explain these rights to passengers at booking and during delays.
