DOT Updates “Fly Rights” Airline Consumer Guide - Azumano Travel @ 10:31 am PDT
The U.S. Department of Transportation unveiled yesterday an updated version of Fly Rights: A Consumer Guide to Air Travel, its popular guide to air travelers’ rights. Since it was first published in 1973, the publication has provided air travelers with helpful advice on such issues as how to get the best airfare, what to expect when a flight is delayed or canceled, and how to avoid travel scams. This new version of Fly Rights includes updated advice on the DOT’s new consumer protections, including the three-hour limit on tarmac delays for domestic flights, the requirement for large airlines to display on-time performance information for domestic flights on their websites, and the requirement for airlines to respond to consumer complaints about an air travel experience. Fly Rights is available online at http://airconsumer.dot.gov/publications/flyrights.htm.
