What it does

The Flight Refund Fairness Act would amend federal law to require air carriers to transfer funds to ticket agents in a timely manner for cancelled, significantly delayed, or changed flights, ensuring that ticket agents can issue refunds to passengers within seven days of receiving those funds. The bill affects airlines, ticket agents, and air travelers by setting clear timing requirements for refund processing. It replaces vague language like “promptly” with specific deadlines to improve accountability and passenger protections in air travel refunds.
