European Union member states have agreed to retain the existing three-hour delay threshold for passenger compensation related to flight disruptions. This decision impacts the next iteration of EU passenger rights regulations for air travel. Alongside maintaining the current compensation rules, negotiators also focused on increasing transparency regarding baggage fees. Specifically, airlines will be required to clearly display the cost of carry-on luggage. A high-ranking EU diplomat confirmed the agreement reached on Friday. The move aims to provide clearer information to travelers and maintain existing protections against significant flight delays. These changes are expected to be formally adopted and implemented in the coming months.
