The key points:
Food and water will always be accessible, previously it was only required that food and water be available after two hours. Now, if you're stranded on the runway the airline is required to provide food and water. The same exact rule goes for medical treatment; previously a two-hour wait that now must always be available.
A hotline will be created by the Department of Transportation so that passengers may call toll free without issues.
Airlines will be required to post their maximum child safety seat size for each airplane they operate so that parents can know ahead of time if their child seat will work in the specific plane.
They will no longer be allowed to charge you for bringing a musical instrument. As long as the instrument meets regular safety guidelines, the passenger will no longer have to pay a fee to bring them along.
There will be a creation of a Department of Transportation Advisory Community; in favor of creating a valuable consumer flying experience.
Airlines will be required to provide a full list of insecticides used to the Department of Transportation so that flyers can check ahead of time to cross reference with any personal allergies.
