Raise your hands if you’ve ben personally victimized by a delayed flight, lost baggage faulty wifi, or non-refundable cancelled flights 🙋🏼‍♀️ Well, I have some good news: The DOT (under pete buttegieg) passed a massive new rule that would crack down on airlines & make flying easier for consumers. I was researching this new airline rule and instead of just giving you the information, I wanted to let you know when it *actually* went into effect. Unfortunately for consumers, 4 lawmakers (Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) were pushing back on the rule getting enacted, in the way it was written (which some of criticized is too harsh on airlines). So, as of now, this massive rule should go into effect October 28, 2024. Buuuuuuuut some of these politicians might try to change it before that happens. 😵‍💫 So, as with all things, if you want change — go make it happen! Call/write your senator (google their name & contact). 🖊️🇺🇸 And, while you’re here, friendly reminder to be kind to all customer service professionals. They don’t make the rules, they just have to deal with what they’re given and probably hate them too. 🙂 #lifehack #airline #lifeadvice #flying #travel #airport #airline #airplane #travelhack #moneyhack #DOT #airlinerule #petebuttigieg #economy #inflation #breakingnews #congress
