The rights of people too ill or incapacitated to travel last minute will also be strengthened. The biggest winners of the Directive, Mayer said, are those travellers who are growing increasingly savvy online to check out various offers.

What kind of rights do they have if they book via internet? Because in a room in an office they can have an explanation and so on. In the Internet it´s from the consumer to the Internet, not to a person. So they cannot ask and therefore they must have a very broad information for their rights.
