According to the new regulations, passengers will retain the right to a refund of the ticket price or a change of route, and will also be able to claim compensation in case of a flight delay of more than three hours, cancellation of a flight less than 14 days before departure, or denied boarding. The amount of compensation will depend on the distance of the flight: 250 euros for flights up to 1500 km, 400 euros for flights from 1500 to 3500 km, and 600 euros for longer flights. For long-haul flights, airlines will be able to reduce the compensation by 50% if an alternative route to the final destination is offered to the passenger or if the delay in arrival does not exceed four hours. Compensation will not be paid in cases where the delay or cancellation is caused by extraordinary circumstances beyond the airline's control. Such circumstances will include, in particular, natural disasters, military actions, adverse weather conditions, actions of unruly passengers, as well as strikes by airport staff, air navigation services, and ground handling services. At the same time, airlines will be required to provide passengers with refreshments every two hours of waiting, meals after three hours, and accommodation in a hotel for up to three nights in case of long delays. Carriers will also need to provide passengers with clear instructions for submitting a compensation claim electronically within four days after the disruption. Passengers will have nine months to submit a claim, while airlines will have 30 days to pay the compensation or provide a justified refusal with an explanation of the complaint procedure. Passengers with disabilities and reduced mobility will have the right to compensation, assistance, and route changes if they miss a flight due to the airport not providing necessary assistance in a timely manner. Additionally, passengers accompanying children under 14 years old will be guaranteed a seat next to the child at no extra charge. The same right will be granted to passengers with disabilities, persons with reduced mobility, and pregnant women. Furthermore, as we have already mentioned, the new rules also establish the right to carry one personal item in the cabin free of charge, such as a small bag or backpack. Airlines, intermediaries, and search services will be required to indicate the full ticket price including hand luggage from the very beginning of the booking. At the same time, carriers will be able to offer cheaper fares to passengers traveling without hand luggage. Passengers will no longer have to pay for correcting spelling mistakes in their first or last name, as well as for receiving a printed boarding pass after checking in for the flight. The agreement also provides the right to receive a boarding pass in digital format without using special applications. Moreover, a passenger cannot be denied boarding for presenting a printed version of the electronic boarding pass. In accordance with the third reading procedure, the reached agreement must be separately approved by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU after a legal review of the document. A vote in the European Parliament is planned to take place during the July plenary session.
