Hours stranded on the tarmac. Thanksgiving price gouging. Archaic rules about cell phones.
Most of us never have an experience as bad as David Dao, the passenger who was violently removed from a United Airlines flight, but if there's one thing we all know, it's this: Flying can be hell.
FlyersRights.org is working to change that. The organization represents airline passengers on the FAA Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee, files petitions and formal comments with the DOT and FAA to advance passenger rights and interests, and files court actions in defense of airline passengers.
Nearly all passengers can recount bad air travel experiences. But complaining and blaming is not enough. The airline industry spends millions each year to advocate before Congress, Federal agencies and in the courts to protect and advance its interests. And it opposes virtually all passenger rights.
