Get your 14 points Check List for website’s compliance with Consumer Rights Legislation in the Airline Sector

Before booking and paying on-line – do a check on the website!

The Air Service Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 provides clear rules on the obligations for the travel industry to provide an “all-inclusive” final price at the beginning of the booking process, a breakdown of the final “all inclusive” price which is to include the fare or rate, the taxes, the airport charges and other charges and a clear distinction between unavoidable and optional charges.

The Regulation also prescribes how this information must be presented to consumers: for instance, optional charges must be offered in an “opt-in basis”.

These rules apply to fares and rates published on the Internet. Airlines and tour operators selling airline tickets for air services departing from an EU airport are under the obligation to comply with these provisions since 1st November 2008.

Mexico issued a hurricane warning for the area.

(Reuters) Hurricane Jimena grew into a highly dangerous storm as it raced toward Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on Monday 31 of August, scaring tourists, prompting residents to sandbag homes and disrupting a top-level finance conference.

Much of Baja California is sparsely populated desert and mountains that are popular with nature lovers, surfers, sport fishermen and retirees. Los Cabos, which is more built up, attracts tourists to its golf courses, resorts and beaches.

The port of Cabo San Lucas was shut and a line of trailers formed as yachts, water taxis and glass-bottomed tourist boats were removed from the water for safety reasons.

Mexico issued a hurricane warning for the area. The Hurricane Center predicted significant coastal flooding and said: “Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion.”
