Flight Refund Fairness Act

Faster Refund Processing: The bill mandates that a ticket agent must provide a refund to an individual not later than 7 days after receiving the funds from the air carrier or foreign air carrier (Section 2, paragraph 3, subparagraph A). This creates a clear timeline for when passengers should receive their money back once the agent has been paid.

Increased Accountability for Air Carriers: By striking the word "promptly" and replacing it with a specific requirement to transfer funds "not later than the date described in subsection (b)," the bill removes ambiguity regarding when carriers must move money to the ticket agent (Section 2, paragraph 1).
