Extrait par Omnilex
The plaintiff's package-travel claim was based on the outbound flight being advanced by five hours, turbulence during the flight, and the view of a construction site about 300 metres away. The Local Court of Bonn dismissed the claim. It held that the five-hour flight change was not a defect, that turbulence did not establish a defect absent physical impairment, and that merely seeing a construction site at that distance was not a defect in a package-tour area. The plaintiff was ordered to bear the costs. The judgment was declared provisionally enforceable, subject to the stated security conditions.
BGB §§ 651a, 651c and 651d; package-travel defect. Advancing the outbound flight by five hours does not, by itself, constitute a defect in a package flight trip. Turbulence during air transport is not a travel defect where it causes no physical impairment to the travellers. Nor does the mere sight of a construction site approximately 300 metres away constitute a defect, at least in package-tour areas. The assessment turns on whether the circumstances amount to a shortcoming in the travel services provided; the stated circumstances do not suffice.

Die Vorverlegung des Hinflugs im Rahmen einer Pauschalflugreise um fünf Stunden begründet keinen Mangel. Turbulenzen während der Flugbeförderung begründen jedenfalls dann keinen Mangel, wenn sie nicht zu physischen Beeinträchtigungen der Reisenden führen. Der bloße Anblick einer ca. 300m entfernten Baustelle ist jedenfalls in Pauschalreisegebieten nicht als Mangel zu werten.
