This is a silly bill. Hidden city ticketing is prohibited, in the best interest of the consumer.

If hidden city ticketing were banned, major airlines would simply not offer low fares in markets served by low fare carriers. So no more $600 roundtrip full fare LAX-ORD-BWI flights!

As far as tickets being non transferrable, again, that's pro consumer. How would you like it if some individual or travel agency bought up seats at peak travel periods and then resold them? Would certainly make it even more costly to travel during holiday periods.

Sometimes I think politicians have nothing better to do than to come up with senseless legislation.
