U.S. President Joe Biden is racing against the clock to introduce a game-changing rule for air travelers before his term ends. The proposal? Requiring airlines to compensate passengers for major flight delays and cancellations – a move that could save stressed travelers both money and sanity. 🧳⚡
Imagine this: You’ve saved for months for that Tokyo getaway 🗼, only to be stuck at the gate for 8+ hours. Under Biden’s plan, airlines would owe you cash (not just vouchers!), plus cover meals and hotels during extended waits. No more 'we’re sorry, here’s a $10 snack credit' situations. 💰
But here’s the turbulence: Airlines argue this could raise ticket prices 🎫, while consumer advocates call it a win for accountability. One stranded traveler told us: 'It’s about time someone put passengers over profits.' 👏
With the 2024 election looming, Biden’s team is framing this as part of his 'pro-consumer' legacy. Will the rule stick if administrations change? Buckle up – this policy journey is just getting started. ✈️
