A new initiative will allow consumers to see a more complete price on airline tickets — including baggage and change fees.
President Joe Biden walks to the Oval Office with National Economic Council director Brian Deese, left, on Sept. 15, 2022, in Washington. Biden will announce a new initiative Monday that will eventually allow consumers to see a more complete price on airline tickets — including baggage and change fees — before they buy, as the White House continues to search for ways to lower costs for Americans amid persistently high inflation.
The White House says the new rule from the Transportation Department will prevent airlines from hiding the “true cost” of airline tickets, which would help consumers save money up front and encourage more competition among airlines to offer better fares. The requirement will apply not only to airlines directly but also on search sites such as Kayak and Expedia.Airlines made nearly $700 million on cancellation and change fees last year, according to the White House.
