TRAVELLERS’ RIGHTS

Air, land, sea, and rail passengers are each protected by dedicated sets of rights that outline what travellers are entitled to when journeys are delayed, cancelled, or disrupted. These frameworks typically cover issues such as compensation, assistance during long waits, rerouting options, and clear communication from transport operators. Similar protections apply to package holidays, where travellers booking combined travel and accommodation benefit from rules that guarantee transparent pricing, accurate pre-contract information, and support if any part of the holiday changes unexpectedly. Together, these legal frameworks provide a consistent safety net, enabling travellers to deal with disruptions confidently across all major forms of transport and organised travel arrangements.
