ETA Act of 2025

This bill codifies existing Transportation Department rules into law, requiring airlines to compensate passengers for significant flight delays. It directly affects airline passengers who experience domestic delays of 3+ hours or international delays of 6+ hours, mandating compensation of $200-$500 based on delay duration. The key provision enforces the April 2024 rules on refunds/consumer protections and transparency of airline fees, making these requirements legally binding. Airlines must now provide this compensation automatically without passenger dispute.
