Airline Passengers Now Have Rights BEUC, the Brussels-based European consumer organization, has presented to the E.U. parliament a bill of rights for airline passengers. The proposal was accepted in Strasbourg and is now in the process of being approved. According to the bill, passengers will receive 300 euro (U.S.$400) for delays of three hours, 400 euro for more than five hours and 600 euro for delays of more than seven hours for flights of 6,000 km (3,728 mi) or more. Plus, if passengers don’t receive answers about complaints within twomonths, the complaints cannot be contested. Finally, the bill gives “right to accommodation,” meaning that passengers will be entitled to hotel stays (while stranded and waiting for rerouting) for a fivenight limit. Aban to the “no-show” clause is also important because many airlines unfairly cancel the return or connecting flights of passengers who either miss or do not take an outbound flight. The “no-show” clause should face an outright E.U. ban.
