How do airlines communicate rules?

Airlines typically communicate their rules through their websites, booking confirmations, and during the check-in process. However, as the Wizz Air story shows, some rules can be 'little-known' or easily overlooked by passengers. Clear communication is crucial to avoid unexpected fines and ensure a smooth travel experience for everyone.
