Airline Passenger Rights Law Is On The Move!
Well, at least for the state New York – being trapped due to flight delays may in the future not be as horrible as it can be now. Under a new state law that is expected to take effect on January 1st, called the Airline Passengers’ Bill of Rights, airlines must provide “fresh air” and “adequate food and drinking water” and there are violation penalties involved for the airliners… up to $1,000 per passenger.
This is an interesting development and hopefully passengers will receive some more deserved respect and better service in the future.

As the kids say lol (lots of luck or lots of laughs)
You are at the mercy of the airline industry – its almost as if they are laughing at you and thinking to themselves – what a bunch of suckers to come back for abuse but then again its better than a 4 hour drive to lake cottage on the gravel roads
My plane sat on the tarmac for 3 hours once being de-iced multiple times and I nearly freaked out from claustrophobia. I can’t imagine being trapped on one for 10 hours and not going anywhere!
