§1.7.2 Package travel

Article 3 3. This Directive shall not apply to contracts: (g) on packages as defined in point 2 of Article 3 of Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Article 6(7), Article 8(2) and (6) and Articles 19, 21 and 22 of this Directive shall apply mutatis mutandis to packages as defined in point 2 of Article 3 of Directive (EU) 2015/2302 in relation to travellers as defined in point 6 of Article 3 of that Directive; Certain provisions of the Directive apply to package travel contracts, as defined by the Package Travel Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council (37), namely the regulatory choice of the Member States to set language requirements for contractual information (Article 6(7)); information that traders must provide to consumers directly before concluding a contract by electronic means, including about the consumer’s obligation to pay (Article 8(2); the regulatory choice of the Member States regarding the confirmation of the offer in the case of distance contracts concluded by phone (Article 8(6)); the prohibition of fees for the use of means of payments (Article 19); prohibition of using telephone numbers charged at more than basic rate (Article 21); and the requirement for express consent of consumers for additional payments (Article 22). It should be noted that the Package Travel Directive also regulates the so-called ‘linked travel arrangements’ (38), which comprise at least two different types of travel services purchased for the purpose of the same trip or holiday, but do not constitute a package (within the meaning of that directive) and result from the conclusion of separate contracts with individual travel service providers. The CRD sets out the pre-contractual information requirements and applies to the individual service contracts comprising a linked travel arrangement, subject to the limitations set in its Article 3(3) and point (l) of the first paragraph of Article 16. For example, with respect to contracts for passenger transport services only the requirements under Article 8(2) and Articles 19, 21 and 22 will apply (see section 1.7.5 below for more information).
