Plain-English Summary

This bill would require airlines to automatically refund passengers in cash when flights are canceled or significantly delayed, rather than just offering vouchers or rebooking on other flights. The law would apply to all U.S. airlines and protect travelers by ensuring they get their money back quickly if their travel plans fall through, instead of being stuck with airline credit they may never use.
