Add EU quote about the two flights (inbound/outbound) are independent.

| May 20, 2019 at 9:49 | comment | added | user29788 | @GiacomoCatenazzi just in general thinking about it, but if the "final destination" was the home airport on the return portion of the ticket, then an airline could conceivably delay holiday makers for weeks with no compensation so long as their return flight was unhindered... which obviously isn't the case 😀 | |
| May 20, 2019 at 9:44 | comment | added | Giacomo Catenazzi | @Moo: Ok. This "linked itinerary" make sense. On the EU interpretation document it is written that if one miss the outbound flight, there is no more right on inbound flight. This linked solves both problems (separate tickets, but not independent each other). | |
| May 20, 2019 at 9:36 | comment | added | user29788 | @GiacomoCatenazzi in every guidance and court case around EU261, outbound and return flights are treated as separately ticketed trips, even if colloquially you would say they were bought on the same ticket - you are actually buying separate tickets on a linked itinerary. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 9:33 | comment | added | Giacomo Catenazzi | @Moo: I think also it is wrong, but why? On the ticked you have both outbound and inbound flight. I cannot see also what to do in case of stop-over. But possibly it is a IATA thing, a ticked could have more destination (marked in some way). | |
| May 20, 2019 at 9:29 | comment | added | user29788 | I think your interpretation of "final destination" is wrong. | |
