I must disagree here. While the price of tickets purchased at a later date may not decrease, those tickets purchased before the effective date of the bill for travel after the effective date should be eligible for refunds of the fee. This collected fee was paid to the airline as a pass through tax to the government. Since the gov't is no longer collecting that fee, it should be returned to the customer.

Good question about awards though. Seems like if it was already paid a refund is due.
