New Regulations for Passenger Rights in Europe
October 20, 2026
The European Parliament has approved new rules aimed at enhancing passenger rights. These include full refunds within 14 days for canceled flights and free companions for those with disabilities. The process for submitting compensation claims has been simplified, and travelers will receive better information about refund conditions. The rules are set to be implemented starting October 2027. These changes strengthen passenger protection and ensure companies meet their obligations.
