Breaking News🚨 Today, the FAA Reauthorization Bill was passed!

This bill was one of the main topics of discussion between members of the travel industry and policy makers on Capitol Hill during ASTA's Legislative Day in Washington D.C. one month ago.

To those who attended- your voice was heard, and we salute you.

The legislation:

✔️Adds a Travel Agency Seat to DOT Consumer Protection Advisory Committee

✔️Streamlines Disclosures in Offline Ticket Transactions

✔️Creates New Consumer Advisory Committee, including Travel Agencies
