Working Towards a Passengers' Bill of Rights
We've reported before on the growing movement to create a Bill of Rights for airline passengers, that would, among other things, protect them from the discomfort and hazards that come from sitting on the tarmac for more than three hours. Today's article in the New York Times about activist Kate Hanni seems to indicate all of her efforts, including her blog and yesterday's Washington D.C. "strand-in" are having an effect. And it is about time! There were 1199 flights stranded in excess of three hours between January and July of this year alone (not counting the untold flights that eventually turned back to the gate) and airline industry spokespeople seem to indicate that a half-hearted apology for each incident rather than real action to correct the situation is sufficient. We at TheInsiderTravelGuides.com urge you to take action by contacting your Congressional representative to complain or by signing the Bill of Rights petition.
