  9. DOT: 'Enforce the law? Who, us?'

    Despite having authority to regulate airline fees on international tickets, the U.S. Department of Transportation decided on Nov. 6, 2012 not to enforce its statutory requirement. This decision was in response to a formal July 2, 2012 complaint by Donald L. Pevsner, a long-time consumer advocate in air travel, arguing that the current fees to change nonrefundable international tickets, generally $250 to $300, are grossly excessive. Pevsner asked the DOT to enforce the law.
