    Some new protections

    • no fees for correcting name spelling errors
    • digital boarding pass without mandatory app or account
    • guaranteed adjacent seat for children below 14 without extra cost
    • air passengers will be able to take the return flight of a two-way ticket even if they did not use the first flight, without incurring an additional fee

    Timeline for implementation:

    [this has] to be confirmed by Council by the beginning of August 2026. The updated rules would enter into force 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of the EU. From that moment the EU countries and companies will have one year to prepare for their implementation.
