EU removes linked travel arrangements from Package Travel Directive
→Travel sellers must reclassify add-on booking flows after linked-travel-arrangement disclosures are removed
Change
On April 29, 2026, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Directive (EU) 2026/1024, removing linked travel arrangement provisions and Annex II forms from Directive (EU) 2015/2302 and adjusting the definition of a package.
Why it matters
The directive removes a disclosure category that travel sellers previously used for add-on travel-service sales. Booking flows that do not meet the amended package definition now need a different customer notice stating that the services are not a package and are not protected under Directive (EU) 2015/2302.
Implications
- → Travel sellers offering combined travel services must remove linked-travel-arrangement information forms from customer journeys ? continued use can misstate the Directive?s amended classification regime.
- → Travel sellers prompting customers to buy additional services for the same trip must disclose when the services do not form a package and do not carry Directive (EU) 2015/2302 protection ? omission fails the amended information requirement.
