Answer

What are travelers' rights for meals and accommodation during long delays?

European Union rules outline what airlines must provide in delays, including assistance, and, where applicable, reimbursement, meals or accommodation. Airlines may arrange hotel stays and transport for stranded passengers, aiming to reduce hardship. Always check the current EU passenger rights for your specific situation when traveling to Mallorca or elsewhere.
