In a speech at the White House, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-with-machete-shows-up-at-crisis-pregnancy-center\/\" title=\"Man With Machete Shows Up at Crisis Pregnancy Center\">president revealed<\/a> that his administration will propose a new rule later this year requiring all airlines to compensate passengers for the cost of meals, hotels, taxis, rideshares, and rebooking fees when they are responsible for canceled or delayed flights. <\/p>\n<h3>Lowering Costs for Families<\/h3>\n<p>President Biden had previously directed the Department of Transportation to crack down on excess booking fees, with the aim of lowering costs for families. The new rule will build on this effort, ensuring that passengers are fairly compensated when airlines are at fault for delays or cancellations.<\/p>\n<h3>Comparing Reimbursement Policies<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the new rule, the president also announced the launch of a new Transportation Department website, flightsright.gov.

This compensation will be in addition to a refund for the cost of the ticket.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know how frustrated many of you are with the service you get from your U.S. airlines,&#8221; Biden stated in his speech. &#8220;But then, we challenged them to do better.
