House bill lets airlines advertise pre tax fares
The House approved legislation to allow airlines to advertise base ticket prices before taxes and fees, rolling back 2012 rules requiring full price display. Taxes and fees would still be shown separately in footnotes or pop-ups, with the base price as the prominent figure in ads. The vote was by voice and not recorded.
