| Wang v. A Travel Agency (Dispute over Travel Contracts) | | 王某与某旅行社旅游合同纠纷案 |
| ——Passport Expiry under Six Months Halts Elderly Tourist's Departure; Court Holds Travel Agency Liable for Due Diligence and Compensation | | ——护照有效期不满6个月 参团游机场无法出境 法院:旅行社应尽必要注意义务 承担相应赔偿责任 |
| An elderly woman was denied boarding for her group tour at the airport due to her passport's validity being less than the required six months. Who should bear the loss for a well-planned trip that cannot proceed? | | 老人参团出境游,到了机场却因护照有效期不满6个月,被航空公司拒载。原本计划好的旅行就这样付诸东流,损失谁来担? |
| [Case Review] | | 【案情回放】 |
| Aunt Wang, nearing seventy, had signed up for an international group tour with her friends. Upon her late-night arrival at the airport to embark on her journey to the United Arab Emirates, she was informed by the airline that her passport's validity was insufficient, failing to meet the six-month requirement for visa-free entry as stipulated by the destination's regulations. | | 年近七旬的王某与好友一起,报名参加跟团出境游。然而,当王某深夜抵达机场准备搭乘航班开始她的阿联酋之旅时,却被航空公司告知,王某护照有效期不满六个月,根据旅游目的地的规定,她无法免签入境。 |
| ...... | | 王某回想起自己报名包价游时,已将护照电子版发送给了旅行社,便立刻询问陪同的旅行社工作人员,为什么没有及时通知她对护照进行更换。工作人员却表示,他们也没有注意到有效期的问题。王某无奈只能终止出行。 |
| | 气愤不已的王某诉至人民法院,要求旅行社退一赔一,并支付交通费等。旅行社辩称,王某应向旅行社提供符合规定的护照,且其报名的是旅游团的尾单项目,机票、酒店等费用已预先支出,不同意王某的诉请。 |
| | 【以案说法】 |
| | 上海市静安区人民法院(以下简称“静安区人民法院”)审理后认为,旅行社作为专业的旅游服务机构,在包价游时应尽到必要的注意义务,应当对游客的护照信息进行严格核查,并在发现问题时及时通知游客;且王某年近古稀,旅行社理应承担更详尽的告知义务。旅行社违约导致游客遭受损失,游客有权要求旅行社承担相应的赔偿责任。但王某要求退一赔一,并没有合同约定也没有法律规定,对该项诉请人民法院无法支持。 |
| | 综上,人民法院判决,旅行社退还王某团费,并承担她往返机场的交通费。 |
