Given the current legislation in this regard, which establishes only the existence of single and double rooms allowing that in some of the latter a third bed can be enabled, or a large bed and a single bed, or 2 large beds, it will always be estimated that the use of the third and fourth places is done with the knowledge and consent of the people who occupy the room.

Triple or quadruple rooms or cabins are generally double rooms to which one or two beds are added, which are usually a sofa bed or a folding bed, except in certain establishments where two large beds are used instead of additional beds. Some hotels only allow a maximum of 3 adults per room or 2 adults and 2 children.

The loss or damage that occurs in relation to the hand luggage or other objects that the traveler carries with him and keeps in his custody are at his sole risk and expense.

A direct air route will always be understood as one whose documentary support is a single flight coupon, regardless of whether the flight makes a technical stop.
