Biden's new rules would make airlines pay passengers up to $775 for long delays or cancellations.

The Biden administration is proposing new rules that would require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation for flight delays or cancellations caused by the airline. Compensation could range from $200 for delays of over 3 hours to $775 for delays of 9 hours or more. The proposal also includes free rebooking, meals, and lodging for stranded passengers. The public has 60 days to comment on the proposal, which aims to align U.S. passenger rights with those in Europe. Airlines argue that the new rules could lead to higher ticket prices.
