President Biden announced a new initiative that would eventually allow consumers to see a more complete price on airline tickets before they buy them.
President Joe Biden announced a new initiative Monday that would 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.
Airlines made nearly $5.3 billion in baggage fees and nearly $700 million on cancellation and change fees last year, according to Transportation Department figures. Airlines charge a variety of other fees for extra legroom and other perks that are not tracked by the government. The fare information would be required for all commercial flights to, within, and from the United States.
The Transportation Department also began posting information to help consumers learn what each airline provides when flights are canceled or delayed for reasons within the airline's control. That prompted several airlines to update policies around finding a new flight and covering hotel and meal expenses for stranded travelers.
