No Taxpayer Funds for Congressional First Class Flights Act

The No Taxpayer Funds for Congressional First Class Flights Act prohibits Members of Congress from using government funds to purchase airline tickets in any class other than coach, effective starting in fiscal year 2027. The bill defines coach-class as the basic level of service that includes carry-on baggage at no extra cost, regardless of how specific airlines label their seating options. An exception is made for situations where a higher class of travel is required to accommodate a medical disability or other special need. Each chamber of Congress would be responsible for creating regulations to enforce these new travel restrictions.
