What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Time is Money Act," directs the Secretary of Transportation to update specific regulations regarding flight delays. The goal is to reduce the current threshold used to define a significantly delayed or changed flight. For domestic itineraries, the proposed change moves the threshold from 3 hours down to 2 hours. For international itineraries, the threshold would move from 6 hours down to 5 hours. This action must be completed within 180 days of the Act's enactment.
