Sustainable Tourism Law
792 SUSTAINABLE TOURISM LAW includes the time in advance of the flight schedule with which travelers must report to the airport. Regarding the travel of people with reduced mobility (5.1. A) Viii), special assistance to Passengers with Reduced Mobility is one of the major issues in consumer rights. Not only the carrier has obligations of attention to the PMR. The airport operator (and the handling operators) has the assistance obligations of the PMR 37 . We saw it when commenting briefly on the case of the passenger in transit at Heathrow Airport. Being it so, we have to ask some questions. i Does the Travel Organizer know in advance the service conditions at the airport that he has advised to use for the trip? ii Does the Travel Organizer have, obligations to fulfill in relation to the airport service at the airports that his client will use? iii Does the duty of information about the airport service should be included in the protection rules of tourists or business travelers? iv Should all the information related to the airport or airports that the traveler will use as planned and advised by the Traveling Organizer be included as Pre-contractual information? We leave another series of questions that describe aspects of the airport service and that could serve as a guide in the analysis of the topic and the search for an answer, whatever it might be. i. Which airport or airports are included in the travel plan that is organized for the traveler ? ii. What is the value of the airport tax at the airport (s) included in the trip planning? iii. Where and how is the airport tax paid? iv. Should a flight be canceled, will the money be returned? v. What services do planned airports provide? WIFI, is it free? vi. Do you board on the catwalk or get on and off the plane walking? vii. Is there a currency exchange service? 37 Ri đ anovic, Berin.
