Definitions over time (1)

31/12/2015 – 29/03/2029 applies on 11/11/2026 Article 3, Directive (EU) 2015/2302 Scope: Whole act

For the purposes of this Directive, the following definitions apply:

‘linked travel arrangement’ means at least two different types of travel services purchased for the purpose of the same trip or holiday, not constituting a package, resulting in the conclusion of separate contracts with the individual travel service providers, if a trader facilitates: on the occasion of a single visit or contact with his point of sale, the separate selection and separate payment of each travel service by travellers; or in a targeted manner, the procurement of at least one additional travel service from another trader where a contract with such other trader is concluded at the latest 24 hours after the confirmation of the booking of the first travel service. Where not more than one type of travel service as referred to in point (a), (b) or (c) of point 1 and one or more tourist services as referred to in point (d) of point 1 are purchased, they do not constitute a linked travel arrangement if the latter services do not account for a significant proportion of the combined value of the services and are not advertised as, and do not otherwise represent, an essential feature of the trip or holiday.
