Major Airlines File Lawsuit Against Biden Administration Over Flight Fee Rule

Major U.S. airlines, including American, Delta, and United, are suing the Biden administration over a new rule on flight fee transparency. The Transportation Department's rule requires airlines to disclose baggage, cancellation, and change fees earlier in the booking process. Airlines must show all fees on the first website page when quoting a flight price. The airlines' industry group argues the rule overreaches and will confuse consumers with too much information. Southwest Airlines is not part of the lawsuit, as the rule would minimally impact them due to their customer-friendly policies on baggage and reservation changes.
