FAIR Fees Act of 2023

The FAIR Fees Act of 2023 requires the U.S. Department of Transportation to create regulations within 270 days that prohibit airlines from charging unreasonable or disproportionate fees for specific services. It targets fees for changing/canceling reservations, checked baggage, seat selection, and other flight-related charges. The regulations must ensure fees align with actual costs airlines incur, like processing changes or handling baggage, and require airlines to seat families with children under 13 together at no extra cost. This applies to all airlines operating under U.S. aviation regulations (those holding a DOT air carrier certificate).
