Trump Administration Proposes Repeal of Obama-Era Rule Requiring Full Airfare Transparency
By
Meghna Maharishi
Summary
The Trump administration is moving to repeal an Obama-era rule requiring airlines to display the full price of airfare upfront, including taxes and fees. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has proposed a new rule that would allow airlines to show base fares first and add fees later in the booking process. Consumer advocates argue this would make it harder for travelers to compare true ticket prices and represents another rollback of consumer protections in the airline industry.
