Travel guide
Package travel or linked travel arrangement?
Buying two services for one trip does not always create a package; the booking flow matters.
Prepared by the FlyVentis editorial team and regularly reviewed for travel and event accuracy.
A combination of transport, accommodation or car hire can become a package when it is sold in one of the forms defined by EU rules.
When arranging services independently, compare the multi-city flight guide with the accommodation guide and save each contract.
How a package can be formed
A single contract, total price, package label or selection at one point of sale before payment can qualify. Certain click-through bookings can also qualify when personal and payment data are transferred and the second contract is concluded within 24 hours.
Practical checklist
- Download the standard information form before payment.
- Identify the organiser and each supplier.
- Save cancellation terms for every service.
- Check the scope of insolvency protection.
Follow the contract chain
For a package, the organiser is responsible for proper performance of included services. Stand-alone services normally remain subject to their own contracts and passenger-rights rules.
