La Unión Europea cambia las reglas para viajar en avión: qué pasará con la maleta de mano, los asientos y los vuelos de vuelta a partir de 2027

The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have given final approval to a comprehensive reform of air passenger rights, bringing significant changes to air travel regulations across the EU. Scheduled to take effect starting in 2027, the updated rules will directly impact various aspects of flying, including policies regarding hand luggage, seating arrangements, and return flights.

This legislative overhaul aims to standardize and modernize passenger protections within the bloc, addressing common pain points for travelers such as baggage fees and seat allocation. The definitive green light from the EU's co-legislators marks the conclusion of the legislative process, setting a multi-year timeline for airlines and regulatory bodies to adapt to the new framework ahead of its 2027 implementation.
