§ 34. Relationship to transport legislation

The traveller's (den reisende) right to a price reduction (prisavslag) under § 31 and compensation (erstatning) under § 32 shall not limit the traveller's rights under transport legislation.
Price reductions and compensation granted under this Act, and compensation and price reductions under transport legislation, shall be deducted from each other, so that the traveller is not given excessive compensation.

What does this mean?

The section ensures that the traveller does not lose rights under transport legislation because they receive a price reduction (§ 31) or compensation (§ 32) under the Package Travel Act. Both sets of claims therefore remain. If the traveller receives cover under both sets of rules, the amounts are deducted from each other, so that there is no overcompensation (more than the loss covers). The traveller can therefore use both routes, but no one gets the same loss covered twice. The section is connected to § 33, which transfers the limits on compensation in transport law to the organiser (arrangør).
