Top democratic senators demanded domestic airlines give Americans cash reimbursements for all cancelled flights caused by the CCP virus pandemic, especially those citizens who were stranded abroad due to the travel bans.

Many airlines have temporarily waived cancellation fees and issued credit for future flights, which often have a three-month window. In a letter (pdf) sent Monday to 11 airline CEO’s, the lawmakers argued that travel vouchers were useless amid the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus crisis and that the companies should instead issue cash refunds.
