wow 4 posts. Three side with the air carriers. Unreal. Back in the day, air carriers in the US commonly compensated travelers for delays not of the passengers doing. Now, if a carrier cancels a flight, nio matter what the circumstances, the carrier claims "weather" and tells their customers "screw you" And they have the GALL to charge the PAX a friggin fee to change their flight. US air carriers don't give a rat's behind about their customers. I use dot love to fly. Now I refuse. If a flight is required, I simply won't go. Flame away.....As if I don't have a right to an opinion.

Airlines always tend to come up with the wierdest of excuses not to compensate for your delays. This shouldnt be happening.

That's right. Passengers should obey rules, so carriers should also obey rules. Pssenger has a choice to fly or not, carriers have the same choice considering all valid rules. So what's the matter?

"Airlines' first responsibility should be looking after their passengers, not finding ways in which they can prevent passengers upholding their rights"

So, making a connecting flight is now a "right?"

The EU is a joke.

That states rule in favour of consumers instead of corporations is a shock for US people....but I would say consumer protection in the US is a joke.
Rights are what the law says; not what you or airlines think. And if you buy a ticket that is sold as a single trip under the responsibility of a single airline; rules and rights are clearly defined. So if your airline doesn't agree simply don't fly to the EU.

Yes. If you pay for a service, the provider is obligated to provide the service.

Where's the joke?

If the final line -- "If any of the airlines refuse to obey the regulator and are taken to court they could, in law, be fined an unlimited amount." -- no court in the US would rule that law legal. Only in the EU can a single judge set an arbitrary amount. For folks in the US, it's an illustration of why Britons voted to leave the EU last year.

Do you think those airlines want to do business in Europe?
