Southwest Airlines is requesting a 21-day extension of the comment period for the NPRM on Enhancing Flexibility of Air Fare Price Advertising. While they support the proposed deregulatory action regarding tax and fee display, they argue that more time is needed to address their opposition to the rescission of guidance documents and the repeal of the Full Fare Advertising Rule.

Airlines for America, representing major US airlines, requests a 21-day extension of the comment period for the "Enhancing Flexibility of Air Fare Price Advertising" rulemaking. They argue that the extension is necessary to ensure the Department receives robust and comprehensive input from the airline industry.

The commenter advocates for stricter regulations on online airline ticketing companies to ensure transparent pricing and fair competition. They specifically call for clear display of total costs, an end to misleading "limited seats" claims, and restrictions on unauthorized promotional pricing.

The commenter opposes the proposed regulatory change because they believe it would allow airlines to hide the total price of tickets behind "mysterious fees and taxes." They argue that the DOT should maintain the full-fair rule to ensure transparency for consumers.

A senior citizen expresses opposition to the proposed action, arguing that it would increase confusion for consumers when booking airline tickets. The commenter specifically argues against removing the requirement to list fares that include taxes and other fees.
