European Union countries have agreed to extend the delay time for flight passengers before they can qualify for compensation: four hours for short-haul flights and six hours for long-haul flights. While compensation increases for short flights from 250 to 300 euros, it decreases for long flights from 600 to 500 euros. This decision culminates 12 years of negotiations, facing criticism from consumer organizations and industry bodies for potentially limiting passengers' rights and adding complexity to compensation processes.
The EU's recent agreement to extend delay compensation thresholds for passengers represents a significant shift in air travel regulation, potentially limiting many passengers' rights.
Compensation for short-haul passengers increases from 250 to 300, while long-haul compensation decreases from 600 to 500, impacting the rights of travelers.
