About this Order

This consent order concerns the display of inaccurate and misleading information on the US Airways website regarding fares for infants traveling on a parent’s lap (“lap infants”). The inaccurate display of fare information constitutes an unfair and deceptive trade practice and unfair method of competition in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 41712 and violates the full-fare advertising requirements of 14 CFR 399.84. This order directs the carrier to cease and desist from similar conduct in the future and assesses a compromise civil penalty of $100,000 under 49 U.S.C. § 46301.
