SEC. 3110. REFUNDS FOR OTHER FEES THAT ARE NOT HONORED BY A
COVERED AIR CARRIER.

(a) In General.--Not later than one year after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation
shall promulgate regulations that require each covered air
carrier to promptly provide a refund to a passenger, upon
request, of any ancillary fees paid by the passenger for a
service, as defined and disclosed by the air carrier, that,
except as provided in subsection (b), the passenger does not
receive, including on the passenger's scheduled flight or, if
the flight is rescheduled, a subsequent replacement
itinerary.
(b) Exceptions.--
(1) Voluntary changes in itinerary.--Subsection (a) shall
not apply if a passenger does not receive a service described
in that subsection because the passenger voluntarily chose to
make changes to the passenger's flight itinerary.
(2) Extraordinary circumstanes.--An air carrier is not
required to provide a refund under subsection (a) with
respect to a fee for a service if the carrier is prevented
from provide the service by extraordinary circumstances that
could not have been avoided by the air carrier even if all
reasonable measures had been taken.
