The Court of Justice of the EU is back on air transport and passenger rights, adding another piece of case law in matter. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\">As a point of law, the Luxembourg courts recall that the <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/?uri=celex%3A32004R0261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air passenger rights regulation<\/a> aims to remedy the difficulties and &#8220;serious inconveniences&#8221; suffered by passengers in connection with a flight. However, such inconveniences, possibly resulting from the fact that a passenger had to find an alternative flight on their own, cannot be considered &#8220;serious&#8221; and therefore reimbursement is not triggered.<\/p>\n<p>As for the case of missed boarding, the Court starts from a preliminary consideration. The right it recognizes to refund for a delay of at least three hours is linked to the fact that it &#8220;takes the form of an <strong>irreversible loss of time<\/strong>.&#8221; For the Court of Justice of the EU, a passenger who did not go to the airport did not, in all likelihood, suffer such a loss of time.
