WASHINGTON, April 4 (Reuters) - U.S. Transportation

Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Thursday urged the nation's largest

passenger airlines to improve travel benefits for active-duty

military personnel and their families.

The department in May plans to begin posting comparative

information on travel benefits that airlines guarantee for

service members and their families on a customer service

dashboard.

The department plans to detail airlines that will commit to

full refunds to service members and their families who cancel

travel plans due to military directives as well as allowances

for free baggage.
