This bill, the Flight Refund Fairness Act, would change part of title 49, United States Code (section 42305(e)). It replaces the word "promptly" with a set deadline tied to the date in subsection (b). It also requires that when an air carrier transfers refund funds to a ticket agent for a cancelled, significantly delayed, or changed flight, the ticket agent must give a refund to the passenger within 7 days after the agent receives those funds.
If this becomes law, passengers who bought tickets through a ticket agent could receive refunds from that agent within 7 days after the agent gets the refund money from the airline. The bill applies to cancelled, significantly delayed, or changed flights and covers transfers from both U.S. and foreign air carriers.
