Air Passengers Rights Bill Introduced in Senate

from National Public Radio

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduces legislation to establish a bill of rights for all airline passengers. The bill would give passengers the option of leaving a plane once it has sat on the tarmac for three hours with the doors closed. It would also require airlines to provide food, drinkable water, and adequate restrooms if a plane is delayed on the ground.
