New rights for air travelers in Europe

125

The EU agrees on new rights for air travelers. Families with children can book seats together for free. This also applies to pregnant women and disabled people. Ticket prices must be clear in the future. The price for Hand-Gepäck must be shown immediately. This helps to compare prices.

People who check in online can ask for a paper ticket. You get money back for delays over 3 hours. The amount is between 250 and 600 Euro. This depends on the distance of the flight. The Airlines must be responsible for the delay.

Passengers have 9 months to apply for Entschädigung. Airlines must inform guests about their rights online. The EU parliament and countries must confirm the rules officially. This is only a formal step now.
