Ban surprise resort and destination fees.
When families set their budget for a vacation, they expect that the hotel price they see is the price they will pay.
But many travelers encounter surprise “resort fees” or “destination fees” when they check out or at the end of a lengthy online reservation process.
These fees harm consumers by preventing them from the seeing the true price when they pick out a hotel and by limiting their ability to
comparison shop.
Over the past decade, a growing number of hotels have imposed these fees on consumers, which can be
$50 or more per night.
More than
one-third of hotel guests report having paid such fees.
And the total costs for Americans are enormous: according to one report, hotels collected
billions in these fees and surcharges in 2018.
The President urges Congress to ban these surprise fees by requiring that hotels include them in the price of the room, so consumers aren’t surprised. Travelers should know which hotels charge these fees and which ones do not, so that they can plan and budget accordingly.

"The Department also proposes to require these entities to clearly disclose passenger-specific or itinerary-specific fees for adjacent seating whenever fare and schedule information is provided to consumers traveling with young children on flights to, within, and from the United States, and make these fees transactable."
Hmm var ju inte riktigt samma sak som att förbjuda tilläggsavgiften. Det mesta brukar ju vara rimligare när man läser mer än en tweet
Vi får väl se vad det blir av det.
Lite annorlunda formulerat på andra ställen
In July 2022, the DOT issued a notice stating that it is the Department’s policy that U.S. airlines ensure that children who are age 13 or younger are seated next to an accompanying adult with no extra charge, but still no airline guarantees fee-free family seating. DOT will publish a family seating fee dashboard and launch a rulemaking to ban the practice.
The President is calling upon Congress to fast-track the ban on family seating fees so that the DOT can crack down on
these practices more quickly than through a rulemaking.
