Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall direct all air carriers providing scheduled passenger interstate or intrastate air transportation to establish policies regarding reimbursement for lodging, transportation between such lodging and the airport, and meal costs incurred due to a flight cancellation or significant delay directly attributable to the air carrier. In this section, the term significantly delayed means, with respect to air transportation, the departure or arrival at the originally ticketed destination associated with such transportation has changed— in the case of a domestic flight, 3 or more hours after the original scheduled arrival time; and in the case of an international flight, 6 or more hours after the original scheduled arrival time.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as providing the Secretary with any additional authorities beyond the authority to require air carriers establish the policies referred to in subsection (a).
