## Ted Cruz Wants Airlines to Keep Your Cash When They Cancel Your Flight

Authored by rollingstone.com

As The Lever reported, the lawmakers — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.

), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) — introduced a new Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization deal that would require passengers to send a “written or electronic request” in order to receive a full refund for a canceled or significantly delayed flight.

The publication notes that, under this provision, “airlines would only have to pay refunds to the subset of passengers who have the disposable time and patience to go through a notoriously arduous refund process.”

The legislation comes after Cruz attempted to pass a measure that would give lawmakers their own security escorts at airports.

Despite hailing from a bright red state, Cruz is once again facing a surprisingly competitive reelection campaign.
