Airline Passenger Compensation Act of 2025
HR 6820, the Airline Passenger Compensation Act of 2025, requires airlines to compensate passengers for significant delays or cancellations caused by the airline itself. It mandates $300 compensation for delays of 3-9 hours and $775 for delays of 9+ hours on domestic or international flights, plus free rebooking on the next available flight if a connection is missed. The Transportation Secretary must issue these regulations within one year of the bill's enactment. This directly affects travelers experiencing airline-caused disruptions, providing specific financial and logistical relief.
