New legal situation for package travelers: What the Wiesbaden ruling means for Mallorca visitors

Answer

What does the Wiesbaden ruling mean for Mallorca package holidaymakers if their flight is cancelled?

If a package holiday to Mallorca is short and the outbound flight is cancelled so that the replacement flight would only leave the next day, cancelling the trip can be justified. In that case, the traveller may be entitled to a refund of the full package price and to separate flight compensation under EU passenger rights. The court treated those as two different claims.
