## Resource

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. After years of stalemate, EU nations have pushed for reform, aiming to boost compensation uptake and ease the burden on travelers, but airlines warn of soaring costs. Consumer advocates say most eligible passengers never claim, while some lawmakers want to preserve the old rules and add perks like bigger carry-ons. 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.
