Important Decisions in Brussels
Seems some important decisions haven been made during the meeting of the European Transport Ministers in Brussels yesterday.
- "Single Sky" from 2005, incl. "flexible" blocks for border crossing air traffic.
- New European rules (both scheduled and charters) for ticket compensation, min.250 Euro (until 1500 km), 400 Euro (1500-3500 km), 600 Euro (3500 km+), notwithstanding the ticket price. When delay more than 2 hours airliners have to care for transfer to other transport, meals and lodging (RyanAir, Easy, eat your heart out!).....
This should rule out overbookings, but might result in increase of the (cheapest) airfares.
