Airline Consumer Bill of Rights Act

This bill directs the Department of Transportation to require each air carrier to submit for approval a one-page document that accurately describes the rights of passengers in air transportation.

The document must include guidelines for: (1) compensation for flight delays of various lengths, flight cancellations, and mishandled baggage; (2) voluntary relinquishment of a ticketed seat due to overbooking or priority of other passengers; and (3) involuntary denial of boarding and forced removal.

Each air carrier must make the document available on its website and in written form at all offices and ticket counters.
