It's never gone 'immediately' -- it takes 2-3 business days to approve every transaction you make (that is not cash* [edit]) If they 'refund' (i.e. "pay") you immediately, and you contest the original charge, they're out double. It's 2-3 business days to process the transaction, and minimum 2-3 to verify you're making a legitimate claim to a refund, then 2-3 to issue the money back (same as the original transaction). None of this doesn't make sense, if you pause to think about how the systems are actually set up.

That’s my problem right now I have 1375 dollars on credit that I have to use by sept 15 2024 but I don’t want to actually travel before that date. So basically either I use it or I lose it. All because I missed a connection flight due to a delay on the first flight and it was faster to have purchase another ticket than to wait over 24 hours for my flight. I had to fight for the credit as they wouldn’t refund (and it was their own delay). I always try to get direct flights but this was an emergency so I took whatever flights were available the quickest and ended up worst off.

They should do the same to hotels. Hotels these day charge guests various fees. You can’t see the fees until after a few clicks to the final step of booking. The final price is often 20%, sometimes 50% morn than the initially displayed price.

I haven’t flown for many years, so it’s astonishing to hear that they were charging families ticket fees in order to be able to sit together. I’m call a flight. Our family took when our child was 18 months old and the airline had switched our seats and put us in separate seats on the flight that started 11 PM in the evening complained and asked for help on the issue to every single person with the airlines that I came across and everyone said oh they’ll take care of it on the plane. When I got on the plane, the flight attendant told me he couldn’t do anything to help me. I said if you can’t do anything who can? So then I took my daughter. My husband followed me, and we went over and sat down in the one location with 3 seats together, and I said “We’re not moving.” I knew in order to move ahead with this the way we needed for it to happen, I had to put the problem back on the airlines and not on me and my husband. Fortunately, there was a family of three adults who had planned to sit in those seats and when they saw what was going on, they quickly let us sit there. It was ridiculous that the airlines knew that they were gonna have a problem. They kept kicking them football down the field, knowing it was gonna be a disaster, but not caring in the least.

How about airlines going back to just letting you pick your seats for no fee? It feels like flying is becoming a thing only the wealthy can do again. It cost us almost $1400 for my husband, myself, and our toddler to pick our seats and ensure we'd sit together when we flew roundtrip from SLC to Houston for a family wedding. We even booked 4 months ahead of time. We didn't have that kind of money, but we wanted to support someone we love very much. Then we got to the airport only to find that we had to pay to check our carry-ons. So that was another $80 both ways. It's just ridiculous.

Stop flying. Stop giving them money. Unless it's 100 percent necessary to fly. Drive to your destinations. If you can drive, drive. The only thing that will cause a change is to affect the airlines wallet.

I didn’t have to smell the nauseating smell of various multiple cuisines clashing in a relatively small enclosed space. Best of all, I didn’t have to contend with rude humans who many times act like feral animals. Not to mention the reconfiguration of airline cabins. The new seats are narrower and closer together so if you’re larger than a 10 year old, the armrests dig into your waist/thighs and your knees are touching the seat in front of you. No thanks. I’ll drive and enjoy the scenery along the way to my destination. Truthfully, with the rising cost of airline tickets, and all the added fees and taxes, plus the cost of food or water both on the plane and in the airport, the costs incurred by driving aren’t all that much more than flying.

I will never forget United Airlines putting my then 2 year old in a seat by herself, even though we booked together and requested seats together in advance. Screw you airlines...

Travelers also need to stop being dumb and learn how the airport process works.. dont just show up and not have a clue.

No need to call anyone dumb, check yourself there a lot of things you don’t know and you don’t realize you don’t know.

There is no guidebook or manual for navigating booking flights and airports, you can research ahead on some things, but other things you don’t expect to encounter until you have to figure out on the fly. If there is a difference between what airline policy is and what the law is (good luck finding that or even knowing that is a thing). There is no navigating the airport school. So it’s not understanding to call people dumb when the tools aren’t even readily available.

It is PITIFUL that the US Congress had to waste their time just to institute a refund practice that should have been obvious. The airlines keep getting passes when things get tough - for everyone! They’re beginning to sound like the banks, which is an exceptionally greedy industry.

Thank you Pete.

They're making billions of dollars extra and they can't keep their planes together😂

As the basic economy ticket s fees, that is the point of a basic ticket. You get a seat on a flight and at most a carry on for that cost. If you want to pick your seat or have a checked bag, buy a normal economy ticket or pay the fee. I don't understand why people are whinning about that or don't understand why a basic economy ticket is for. I have used a basic economy ticket when I am just going somewhere for a weekend by myself and don't need to check a bag, it has saved me a good bit of money.

Airlines have always been upfront with whats included when purchasing a ticket. People do not read but then want to put the blame on everyone else and act surprised when showing up to the airport with an oversized carry-on and overweight checked bag knowing very well they have only spent $40 for a nonstop flight lol. Flying now is the most affordable its ever been in history but with these new rules you can expect airlines to charge more.

How many times, i have been asked to put my legit carry on bag and check it because of lack of space in over head bins. I came packed with a carry on so i can take my bag and exit. On the contrary invariably, i have to go to Baggage carousel spend 2 hours extra to pick my bag. Will they pay me the baggage fee, they otherwise charge for my inconvenience?

they should just not allow any carry ons. If you fly expect to check a bag

I disagree with the child together policy! I booked my seats well in advance and last-minute travelers who want to travel together, bump me out of my seat to accommodate them??? I don't agree at all. this happened to me years ago on Delta and I was in Roe 17 I went up getting booted to Route 34. I was pissed.

Good to know.

It should be illegal to sell more seats than exist on the plane itself. Like it’s illegal to sell non-existent items on ebay, or to sell the same item multiple times but only give it to one buyer and keep all the money. It should be illegal to sell non-existent seats or to sell the same seat to multiple people.

I vote for reasonably priced FLYING CARS.

Should ban carryon fees by Walmart of airlines Frontier and Spirit. Their pilots make $300k/year and they don't even give you water and pretzels.

Thank you for taking the action and this will help us in the future. I was not aware that I needed to apply for tourist visa in visiting Vietnam and I found out at the airport besides I lost my ticket, hotels, and I had to pay 9000 Thai Baths for the agency fees, at the ground floor of Bangkok airport and he was the top greediest agent I had ever encountered in my life. I do not support those wealthy people to pay more taxes, but I do against on chocking/milking money from their customers/people.

I support the change

I’m very happy I fly Southwest 🙌🏾

Does this include cancels due to weather though… airline did me dirty that way

Third party vendors are what cause passengers to not know about extra fees. They want their business so just show a cheap fare. Only book through the airlines website whenever possible

What I find is some people who are booking once they see a low ticket they think it includes carry on and check bag. It best to read the entire page when booking.

I had a 1st class ticket on Alaska Airlines and 16 hours before my flight they bumped me to premium economy most likely to accommodate a person willing to pay a higher price.

Now the airline will come up with new internal policies and new TOS that will change how refunds work. The back half of this year will be the least amount of refunds issued ever.

They need to stop having us pay so much more for a seat. Tickets are enough without another $50 so you can sit with your spouse or older children. Naturally I do because I won’t be that person to ask someone to switch but really? Come on.

I still hasn't gotten my refund for the pandemic.

I hear Dr Fauci is in charge of the complaint department….might wanna give him a ring.

Everything is designed to make it as difficult as possible to get you a refund. They just hope you forget and give up before you get to that point.

Imagine flying around during The Collapse, pretending everything is cool and Normal.

frontier did this to me. booked 2 people and we sat 15 seat apart.

After 50 years they finally do their job, and it is still half done. Really?
