Previously known as the Aviation Passenger Charter, which was introduced during the pandemic, the newly named Air Passenger Travel Guide details what people can expect from airlines, travel agents, tour operators and airports if things go wrong while travelling. 


The guide includes advice about what to do if flights are cancelled or delayed, if baggage goes missing, and the rights of disabled passengers. It also features guidance on how to complain if passengers feel they have been treated unfairly.
