New rules

Flight attendants at United Airlines (UA) are expressing growing concern over a new rule that mandates availability during layover, including at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and major international layover cities like London (LHR) and Rome (FCO).

FAA of the US Department of Transportation wants a regulation mandating that aircraft manufacturers add a second physical barrier on commercial passenger aircraft in use in the US.

Airlines could now strictly enforce the one-hand bag per passenger rule.
