MEPs have secured an updated air passenger rights deal that includes maintaining compensation for three-hour delays, faster reimbursement processes, fee-free child seating, and transparent flight prices. The agreement, unanimously supported by the European Parliament, aims to protect passengers against travel disruptions and enhance transparency in air travel. Key highlights include compensation levels based on flight distance, an open list of extraordinary circumstances for avoiding compensation payment, and provisions for passenger care during delays. Additionally, the deal ensures clear instructions for passengers on claiming compensation from airlines and safeguards for vulnerable passengers.
