Air Travel in the EU

Check out for the latest legislation regarding new air travel rights in the EU

The European Union has established rights ensuring airline passengers are treated properly. These new passenger rights apply to scheduled and chartered flights, both domestic and international, and to all types of airlines, from full-service to low-fare. If a passenger is denied boarding or if a flight is cancelled, the airline must offer financial compensation and assistance. When a flight is overbooked, an airline must first ask for volunteers to give up their seats in return for either a refund of the ticket (with a free flight back to any original point of departure) or alternative transportation to the final destination. If a passenger is not a volunteer, the airline must pay between 250 and 600 Euros in compensation. The airline must also provide meals and drinks, hotel bookings when appropriate (including transfers) and outlets for communication. The same refunds, alternative transportation arrangements, meal and other provisions must be adhered to for flight cancellations and certain long delays, including the election of a full ticket refund in the face of a delay of 5-hours or more. Provisions for damaged baggage and injury or death are also provided, as well as special considerations for package holidays.
