Australian government proposes new airline passenger rights, including aid for long delays and free lost luggage return.

The Australian government has released a draft Charter of Rights for airline passengers, aiming to improve travel experiences during the busy Christmas season. Key points include airlines assisting with alternative travel options for delays over three hours, returning lost luggage at no cost, and acknowledging complaints within 24 hours with resolution within 30 days. The charter, set for implementation by 2026, does not include a cash compensation scheme for delays or cancellations, unlike in the EU.
