Thank you for your post. Would the airlines disclosing pricing information on their website and requiring passengers to visit it before purchase be sufficient? or is more needed to properly disclose additional fees?

Oh well, by all means, lets wait until we have an epidemic of allergy related deaths on planes before we attempt to answer this question.
I wonder how you would react to someone suffocating to death next to you on an airplane.

I think this is way beyond necessary. I do feel for the small minority of people with allergies but I have not heard of anyone dying on a plane because of peanuts. So now we are going to have to give up every item with a nut in it? PLEASE! This is getting really out of hand. After peanuts next thing will be strawberries or shell fish. This is a small special interest group. This is not necessary.
I feel that this is overdue and should be addressed for all flights – both international and domestic. Funny that we need a law to indicate a plane needs to provide adequate water and facilities. I would like to see the rule be under 3 hours but 3 would be the maximum amount of time for people to sit on a plane.
At issue is making the airlines responsible for clearly indicating all fees associated with a flight. When searching for a flight with Internet search engines they compare the basic price. Airlines call it “a la carte” pricing and think passengers like the idea. Well, we don’t. Give me one price and let me check baggage, board the flight and sit near a window. Don’t nickle and dime me. AND ensure if you are going to charge the additional fees that I can know what they are up front and very clearly. DOT needs to ensure all fees necessary to fly are upfront to the passengers.
