The elements referred to in the preceding paragraph are as follows:

    1. Transporting
    2. Lodging

However, failure to return to the airport on the day of departure will entail additional costs to the initial package where it was already valued.

      When the number of passengers exceeds the number of seats available, the airline must first ask volunteers to resign their seats in exchange for certain compensations, which must include reimbursement of the ticket amount (with a free return ticket to the first point of departure, if applicable) or the alternative transport offer to the final destination.

      • EUR 400 for longer flights within the EU and other flights between 1500 and 3500 km.,
      • EUR 600 for flights of more than 3 500 km. outside the EU.
        The compensation may be halved if the delay does not exceed 2, 3 or 4 hours respectively.

        • choose between a refund of the ticket amount (together with a free ticket back to the first point of departure, if applicable) and an alternative means of transport to its final destination; and
        • provide you with sufficient food and drink free of charge, hotel accommodation where necessary (including travel), as well as media.

        Compensation or refunds will be paid in cash, by bank transfer or cheque or, upon agreement signed by the passenger, in travel vouchers, and will be effective within 7 days.
        If you are denied these rights, immediately file a complaint with the operator of the flight.

  • FLIGHTS.

In some cases, certain flights will be made with an airline that is not included in the ticket or the booking confirmation, due to the use of shared codes and alliances between airlines, for which we are not responsible. In addition, there are offers with charter flights in which the schedules shown on the ticket are not guaranteed.

This means that you are not allowed to use the ticket in a way other than what you have contracted, including this fact trying to use the return of a flight, without having previously used the departure.
