(20) Passengers should not only be correctly informed about their rights in cases of flight disruption, but they should also be adequately informed about the cause of the disruption itself, as soon as the information becomes available. This information should also be provided where the passenger has acquired the ticket through an intermediary established in the Union. Passengers should also be informed as to the simplest and most rapid procedures for making claims and complaints, enabling them to exercise their rights.

Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) Passengers should be adequately informed about the relevant procedures for submitting claims and complaints to air carriers and should receive a reply within a reasonable time period. Passengers should also have the option to complain about air carriers via out-of-court measures. For this purpose, they must be given the addresses and contact details of all bodies responsible for completion of the relevant formalities in each country. However, since the right to an effective remedy before a tribunal is a fundamental right recognised in Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, those measures should neither prevent nor hinder passengers' access to courts.
