If your flight is cancelled in Europe, what are your rights? could you be entitled to compensation? In this video you will learn how Air Passenger Rights will change in the EU:
00:25 - Children under 14 could sit next to the adult travelling with them without paying an additional seating fee.
00:35 – Clearer rules will be issued for people with disabilities, and how it affects their connecting flights.
00:45 - Passengers could have the right to leave an aircraft after waiting two hours on the tarmac before departure.
Travelers would receive clearer information about the support and protections available during a disruption.
01:12 - Hand-luggage charges would be presented in a more standardised and transparent way when booking.
01:31 - Airlines would need to provide information about possible compensation within four days of a disruption.
Travellers would receive clearer information about the support and protections available during a disruption.
These are proposed reforms, so the exact rules and timing depend on the EU legislative process. Existing passenger protections may already apply, depending on the circumstances of your journey and the reason for the disruption.
