S 5470 United States Senate · 118th Congress

End Airline Extortion Act

This bill prohibits airlines from incentivizing staff to charge passengers extra fees for add-on services like baggage or seating, and bans discriminatory pricing based on disability, family status, or other protected characteristics. It directly affects airlines, their employees, and contractors by banning payments tied to forcing passengers to pay for basic services. Key provisions require airlines to treat all passengers equally when setting prices for the same flight and service, eliminating incentives that push customers toward costly add-ons. The law covers common in-flight services such as seating, baggage, food, and internet access, as defined in the bill. (4 sentences)
