Summary
Passenger rights in Europe are about to face a major showdown as lawmakers prepare to decide whether to extend the compensation delay threshold from three to four or six hours—depending on flight length—and simplify claims.

With a Tuesday deadline looming, negotiators must find common ground—or risk letting the status quo stand. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
