Congressman Max Miller Introduces the Time is Money Act to Protect Passengers’ Time

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Max Miller (OH-07) introduced the Time is Money Act, legislation that would require airlines to compensate passengers for significantly delayed or altered flights one hour sooner than current regulations allow. 

“Passengers shouldn’t have to front the bill for airline delays,” said Congressman Miller. “Hard-working Americans don’t have endless time to waste stuck in terminals before qualifying for compensation. Every hour spent waiting is time taken from work, family, and other responsibilities. The Time is Money Act puts passengers first and holds airlines accountable.” 

The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to revise existing regulations, lowering the delay threshold from 3 hours to 2 hours for domestic flights and from 6 hours to 5 hours for international flights. The change ensures passengers receive compensation sooner when their travel plans are disrupted.
