Not long. This is inevitably going to cause supply issues very soon…
About 5 miles?

Remarkable though, isn’t it, that what was the UK’s weakest economy is suddenly now its strongest - despite the likes of the DUP?!

For domestic flights the airlines will only have to refund the ticket price under Tory proposals for EU rules bonfire.
Apart from the fact they could have done this while we are in the EU it will actually reduce the amount received by passengers. Under current rules it’s 220 quid after 3 hour delay. Under new rules it’s ticket price only, her6es yoru 20 quid refund… FFS.
Tory promise of removing ‘EU’ red tape = better situation for big business. Whodathoughtit ?
It’s only for domestic flights. Any flight that originates or lands in the EU is subject to EU261. They can’t get around that.

Thank fuck.
Hmm, on closer inspection, there are some wrinkles due to brexit.
## EU air passenger rights apply:
** If your flight is within the EU and is operated either by an EU or a non-EU airline*
** If your flight arrives in the EU from outside the EU and is operated by an EU airline*
** If your flight departs from the EU to a non-EU country operated by an EU or a non-EU airline*
** If you have not already received benefits (compensation, re-routing, assistance from the airline) for flight related problems for this journey under the relevant law of a non-EU country.*
#### Travelling from the UK to an EU country
From 1 January 2021, EU rules on air passenger rights do not apply to cases of denied boarding, cancellations or delays to flights from the UK to the EU if your flight was operated by a UK carrier or another non-EU carrier , even if you booked your flight before this date. However, EU rules continue to apply from 1 January 2021 if your flight from the UK to the EU was operated by an EU carrier , unless you have already received compensation or benefits under UK law.
EU means the 27 EU countries, including Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion Island, Mayotte, Saint-Martin (French Antilles), the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands (but not the Faeroe Islands). EU rules also apply to flights to and from Iceland
, Norway and Switzerland.
So flying to Europe might be excluded if the carrier is a UK carrier. In the case of easyJet for example, they have an EU AOC, based in Austria, but also a UK one (and a Swiss one). If they use the UK operator to fly to Europe, it might not be covered. Ryanair is obvs EU-based.
How can you know which operator is running the EJ flight you’ve booked?
It should say on the booking if it’s operated by EasyJet Europe., I think.
