President Joe Biden pushed for an end to so-called junk fees in the State of the Union address Tuesday night
“We’ll prohibit airlines from charging up to $50 round-trip for families just to sit together,” said President Biden. “Baggage fees are bad enough. They can’t just treat your child like a piece of luggage.”
Buttigieg said the federal government is looking into creating a federal rule stopping airlines from imposing this extra fee. Manning asked Buttigieg how he responds to critics who argue the Department of Transportation isn’t doing enough to crack down on alleged unfair practices by airlines, particularly in light of the December Southwest Airlines meltdown.
“I think we could get some good things done with Congress, but we’re not waiting on that in order to get results,” said Buttigieg. “One of the things we’re doing right now is processing what we’re hearing from passengers.”
