Airline Passengers for Justice is partnering with leading consumer advocates to demand that Congress hold the airlines accountable through tougher policies and a comprehensive Passenger Bill of Rights including:

• Consistent compensation rules for voluntary seat relinquishment due to overbooking or priority of other passengers/airline employees;
   
• Prohibition on involuntary bumping of paid passengers for any reason except actual safety and security concerns;
   
• Maintaining congressional oversight of air traffic control through the FAA and opposing efforts to hand over power to a nonprofit corporation heavily influenced by big airlines
   
• Strict passenger compensation rules for non-weather flight delays, cancellations, computer crashes and mishandling/losing baggage, pets and minor children;
   
• Minimum seat standards to ensure reasonable passenger comfort, address health concerns, and promote safety, including adequate space for emergency evacuation and adequate lavatory space
   
• Complete airfare transparency, including for taxes, surcharges and ancillary fees available in all types of booking channels, whether offered through airlines or third parties
   
• Establishment of mandatory standards overseen by the FAA and DOT to ensure that airline imposed fees related to cancellations, changes, baggage, seat selection, same day and name changes and similar are reasonable and proportional to the costs of providing the services. These protections are central components of the proposed Forbidding Airlines from Imposing Ridiculous (FAIR) Fees Act and similar amendments were were successfully included in the Senate's FAA Re-Authorization Bill, but are missing from the House version.
