New DOT Rules

Just recently, the Department of Transportation announced new airlines regulations that are meant to benefit travelers. Airlines will soon have to refund bags if they lose them as well as pay more for bumping travelers from a flight. Presently the compensation for travelers that are bumped is up to $400 or $800 depending on how long the passenger is bumped off. Those numbers will increase to $650 and $1,330. If bags are delivered late, there will be no refund in place.
Airlines will also have to include fees and taxes in their advertised prices. Those possible fees can include checking bags, changing reservations, upgrading seats.
And last year’s rule about tarmac delay is affecting international flights now, not only domestic. Now, DOT is stopping passengers from being stranded for 4 hours on international flights for longer than four hours. If passengers are stuck for more than two hours on an international flight, the airline is required to provide food and water.
However all those changes will still not make flying commercial as comfortable as flying on a private aircraft. For less headache and less nonsense, fly with Sky Limo Air Charter. We’ll provide you with a private jet along with exclusive jet concierge services thousands of feet in the air and on the ground. You’re guaranteed tons of privacy, flexibility, comfort and of course, luxury.
