The ETA Act of 2025 would give legal force to two 2024 Department of Transportation rules on ticket refunds, consumer protections, and airline service-fee transparency. It would also require the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations requiring airlines to pay passengers $200 to $500, depending on delay length, when they arrive at their destination at least 3 hours late on a domestic flight or 6 hours late on an international flight.
If enacted and implemented through regulations, passengers who meet the stated arrival-delay thresholds would be entitled to compensation of at least $200 and no more than $500. The bill does not specify the exact amount for each delay length.
Airlines would be required to provide the specified compensation to eligible passengers. No publicly available information is provided about other costs.
