TL;DR

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has proposed new regulations requiring airlines to compensate passengers for delays and cancellations caused by the airline, similar to EU rules. The proposal includes cash compensation, rebooking on the next available flight, and covering expenses like meals and lodging. The public has 60 days to comment on the proposal, which aims to establish clear standards for airline obligations during disruptions. The future of this proposal depends on the incoming administration's decision to implement it.
