Being six feet tall with long legs is agonizing. I can’t afford costly seats especially when flying over seas. Had to take a last minute international flight that was 15 hours long. The person in front of me reclined their seat. So I pay to be tortured and have my space I paid for shrunk? After my trip it took time for my knees to recover. This airline ticket was over $1200 and yet I was crushed. Airlines will always have customers for business and 1st class. I cannot afford this. Even trying to sit sideways does not help.
Having lived in a country that does not have the consumer protection, I can attest to the fact that the EU charter works. The airlines have protection that cover unforeseen events. Events due to bad planning or cost cutting are not one of them
As a frequent flyer it is important to me to be assured I will be looked after in the event of serious delay or cancellation of my flights. As a family we have been affected by this in the past and had to fight hard to receive our compensation. It is essential that airlines are compelled to compensate disrupted passengers.
As a European air passenger, I depend on EC 261 to protect me from being stranded, ignored, or financially burdened when airlines fail to deliver. Weakening these rights doesn’t just inconvenience travelers—it encourages corporate neglect and leaves millions of consumers vulnerable. I’m signing this petition because I believe EU laws should defend people, not profit margins. Keep the 3-hour rule. Keep compensation fair. Keep passengers protected.
Reducing passenger rights would skew even more the relationship between airlines and passengers in favor of the airlines. As of now, passengers' rights are the only thing that protects passengers from a relationship that is already so deeply one-sided in favor of the airlines. Eliminating passengers' rights would cause passengers to be completely disregarded by the airlines.
