Fly European, Get Compensated: Expert Travel Advice from RTL Midi

Travel Tip Tuesday: Fly European, Get Compensated! Recent advice from RTL Midi's Bernard Sabbah highlights the significant benefits of choosing European airlines when traveling internationally. Under EU passenger rights, European carriers are obligated to compensate passengers for substantial flight delays. This is a significant advantage over non-European airlines, as Sabbah points out, using the example of a Paris-New York flight: "If you have a three-hour delay with Air France, they owe you compensation under European law, up to 600 euros per person." However, this protection doesn't extend to non-European carriers. Sabbah's advice empowers travelers to make informed choices, potentially saving money and reducing travel stress. He encourages travelers to be aware of their rights and to choose wisely for a smoother travel experience.
