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.
