Background to the Package Travel Regulations From 1 July 2018, packages are now covered by the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (2018 Package Travel Regs), SI 2018/634. These provisions gave effect to Directive (EU) 2015/2302 (the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Directive).

The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Directive may still usefully guide interpretation of the 2018 Package Travel Regs.
