From the point of view of the passenger, which is the concern that we all have, they do not know, when they go for what looks like a good deal, that they are getting the best that they could get if the package was disassembled and they did it themselves. This leaves the passenger in a hopeless position, because nobody wants to be in a position of having to do that level of inquiry. They want to be able to accept something at face value. Again, some sort of understanding and assurance that the airlines were doing that would be helpful. Amendment 30 supports that by requiring the CAA to publish a code of practice on those commercial negotiations between air carriers and travel intermediaries. This would not prevent fair commercial negotiation; it would give industry clarity about what fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory access should look like.
