      3. a separate fare has been collected for the unflown sector(s).

Please be aware that some types of changes to the details of your travel may not result in a change of fare, but others (for example, changing the place of departure if you do not fly the first segment of your carriage, or reversing the direction of you travel) may result in a fare increase. Likewise, many fares are valid for carriage only on the dates and for the flights shown on the Ticket and may not be changed at all, or may only be changed if you pay a fare increase to us or our Authorised Agent.

If you decide to accept and pay the new fare, an administration fee may be payable by you if your Ticket is subject to restrictions. If the change is necessary because a Force Majeure event has occurred, we will use reasonable efforts to transport you to your next Stopover or final destination without recalculation of the fare, but only if you have provided us with adequate evidence of the Force Majeure event.
    4. If you change any part of your carriage, otherwise than in accordance with the Article (3.4.3), or you fail to check-in prior to the Check In Deadline for your flight, your unused Flight Coupons will not be valid for travel or eligible for any form of refund .until we have, or our Authorised Agent has, assessed the correct price for your actual carriage and you have paid any difference between the fare paid for your Ticket and the total fare applicable to your revised carriage.
    5. We will accept each Flight Coupon forming part of your Ticket for carriage in the class of service on the date and flight for which you have a reservation. If a Ticket has been issued without a reservation being made at the time of issue, space may be reserved later subject to our Tariff, applicable Ticket restrictions and the availability of space appropriate to the fare paid on the flight requested.
  5. Replacement of Ticket
    1. At your request, and subject to your compliance with the requirements of Article 3.5.2, we will replace your Ticket if all or part of it is lost or damaged and cannot be presented for carriage, provided there is adequate evidence, readily ascertainable at the time, that a Ticket valid for the flight(s) in question had been duly issued by us or our Authorised Agent.
    2. Before any Ticket will be replaced pursuant to Article 3.5.1, you will sign an undertaking to reimburse us for any costs and losses of the type specified in Article 3.5.4 and pay to the airline issuing the replacement Ticket (whether us or another airline) any applicable administration fee for this service. This Article will not apply if replacement of your Ticket is necessary by reason of our or our Authorised Agent"s fault or negligence.
    3. If there is no evidence that a Ticket valid for the flight(s) in question was duly issued or you do not sign the agreement required by Article 3.5.2, the airline issuing a replacement Ticket (whether us or another airline) may require you to pay up to the full Ticket fare for such replacement Ticket, subject to refund of the fare paid if and when the airline issuing the replacement Ticket becomes satisfied that the replaced Ticket has not been used before the expiry of its validity. Where we are the airline issuing the replacement Ticket, payment of the full Ticket price will be mandatory. If, in the case of Ticket loss and replacement, you subsequently find the original Ticket before the expiry of its validity and surrender it without further use to the airline which issued the new replacement Ticket (whether us or another airline), your refund will be processed at that time.

If a tax, fee or charge is imposed or increased after your Ticket has been purchased, you will be required to pay to us any such tax, fee or charge, or any such increase before carriage upon your prior consent, which consent is deemed to be given by way of accepting these terms and conditions at the time of purchasing the Ticket on line and in case of other purchasing method, by way of being provided with the conditions of contract at the time of purchasing the Ticket.
    3. If your Ticket has been purchased from our Authorised Agent and such Authorised Agent omitted to give details of all applicable taxes, fees and charges, with the result no, or insufficient, payment has been made for such taxes, fees and charges, you must pay the relevant amount at the airport of departure before you will be entitled to carriage.
    4. If any tax, fee or charge is abolished or reduced and becomes no longer applicable to all or part of your carriage, a refund can be claimed in respect of any such tax, fee or charge which has been paid. Please ask us or our Authorised Agent for details of how to claim such refund.
    5. If you do not use your Ticket, you will be entitled to claim a refund of any taxes, fees or charges you have paid, less any applicable administration fee(s) if your Ticket is subject to restrictions. Please ask us or our Authorised Agent for details of how to claim such refund.

  3. Surcharges in exceptional circumstances
    1. In exceptional circumstances, charges may be imposed on us by third parties, which are of a type or amount not normally applicable to our operations (for example, insurance premium supplements or additional security costs triggered by unlawful interference with civil aviation). In addition, we may be subjected to significant increases in operational costs (for example, fuel charges) caused by exceptional circumstances beyond our control. In such cases, you will be required to pay to us, as fare surcharges, all such charges attributed by us to your carriage (even if such exceptional circumstances surcharges are imposed after the issuance date of your Ticket).

    Fares, taxes, fees, charges and exceptional circumstances surcharges are payable in the currency of the country in which the carriage commences, converted to the currency of the country of payment (if different) at the applicable Banker"s Selling Rate in effect on the date payment is made, unless we or our Authorised Agent require payment in a different currency (for example, because of the non-convertibility of the local currency). We may at our discretion, accept payment in any currency, subject to applicable local law.

    2. Sometimes delays in departure times and the time taken for an aircraft to fly to a destination occur because of circumstances beyond our control (for example, bad weather or air traffic control delays or strikes). 
      We will take all reasonable measures necessary to avoid delay in carrying you and your Baggage. These measures may include using an alternative aircraft or arranging for a flight to be operated for us by an alternative airline, or both.
    3. You will be entitled to choose one of the following three available remedies if we cancel a flight; fail to operate a flight reasonably according to the schedule; fail to stop at your destination or Stopover destination; or cause you to miss a connecting flight with us or with another airline for which you hold a through booking/confirmed reservation and adequate time existed to make the connection after the scheduled time of arrival of your flight.
      The three available remedies for you to choose from are available without extra charge and are set out in Articles 9.2.3(a) to (c) below.
      See also Article 9.2.3 for limitations on your rights and on our liability.
      1. Remedy One - we will carry you and your Baggage as soon as we can on another of our flights on which space is available and, where necessary, extend the period of validity of your Ticket to cover that carriage.
      2. Remedy Two - we will re-route you and your Baggage within a reasonable period of time to the destination shown on your Ticket on another of our flights or on the flight of another airline, or by other mutually agreed means and class of carriage.

    4. The three remedies in Articles 9.2.3(a) to 9.2.3(c) do not affect any rights you may have under Article 15.6. Those remedies and rights represent the sole and exclusive remedies and rights available to you if your carriage is affected by one of the events listed in Article 9.2.3.

    1. Unless we say otherwise, we will make a refund only to the person who has paid for the Ticket, provided we are given proof of identification and payment.

    3. No refunds may be made, unless the refund claim is submitted directly by you and in accordance with our refund policies and these Terms and Conditions.
  2. Involuntary refunds
    1. Fare refunds will be calculated according to Articles 10.2.1(a) and 10.2.1(b) if we cancel a flight, fail to operate a flight reasonably according to schedule, or fail to carry you on a flight for which you have a confirmed reservation and have met the applicable Check-in Deadline and boarding deadline and you have not been refused carriage for reasons permitted by these Conditions of Carriage. The same method of calculation will apply if we fail to stop at your destination or Stopover, or cause you to miss a connecting flight in circumstances where you hold a confirmed reservation and adequate time existed to make the connection between the originally scheduled time of arrival of your flight and the departure time of the connecting flight.
      In all of those situations, the refund will be:
      1. an amount equal to the fare paid (including taxes, fees, charges and exceptional circumstances surcharges paid) if no portion of the Ticket has been used; or
      2. if a portion of the Ticket has been used, an amount equal to the difference between the fare paid (including taxes, fees, charges and exceptional circumstances surcharges paid) and the correct fare (including taxes, fees, charges and exceptional circumstances surcharges) for travel between the points for which you have used your Ticket.
    2. We will pay a refund according to Article 10.2.1(b) if we refuse you carriage for any of the reasons set out in Article 7.1, except that you will not be entitled to any refund for the flight for which you were refused carriage. Apart from this, we will have no liability to you for any loss or expense whatsoever. Also see Article 7.2 which permits us to use the value of any unused carriage on your Ticket to reimburse costs payable by you.
    3. We will pay a refund according to Article 10.2.1(b) if we terminate your carriage for any of the reasons set out in Article 11.4 (unacceptable behaviour aboard aircraft) before it is completed, except that you will not be entitled to any refund for the flight during which the unacceptable behaviour occurred. Apart from this, we will have no liability to you for any loss or expense whatsoever. See also Article 11.4.4, which permits us to use the value of any unused carriage on your Ticket to pay sums due to us from you.
  3. Voluntary refunds
    1. If a refund of the fare for your Ticket is due for reasons other than those set out in Article 10.2, the refund will be:
      1. an amount equal to the fare paid (including taxes, fees, charges and exceptional circumstances surcharges paid) less any applicable cancellation fees if no portion of the Ticket has been used, less also any applicable administration fee(s), if your Ticket is subject to restrictions; or
      2. if a portion of the Ticket has been used, an amount equal to the difference between the fare paid (including taxes, fees, charges and exceptional circumstances surcharges paid) and the correct fare (including taxes, fees, charges and exceptional circumstances surcharges) for travel between the points for which the Ticket has been used, less any applicable cancellation fees, less also any applicable administration fee(s), if your Ticket is subject to restrictions.
  4. Refund on lost Ticket
    1. If you lose your Ticket or part of it and subsequently provide us with satisfactory proof of that loss and pay any applicable administration fee(s), we will pay a refund as soon as possible after the validity period of the Ticket expires or 6 months, whichever is the later. We will only do this if:
      1. the lost Ticket, or part of it, has not been used, previously refunded or replaced, unless the use, refund or replacement by or to someone else resulted from our own negligence; and
      2. the person to whom the refund is made agrees (by signing an agreement with us) to repay to us the amount of the refund and reimburse us our legal costs and expenses of locating and notifying you and enforcing the agreement, if we discover later fraud or use of the lost Ticket (or part of it) by you or someone else. This will not apply if any fraud or use by someone else resulted from our negligence.
  5. Right to refuse refund
    1. We will not give a refund if application for the refund is made more than 1 year from the date of issue of the original Ticket.
    2. We will not give a refund on a Ticket if, when you arrived in a country, you presented the Ticket to us or to government officials as evidence of your future intention to depart from that country, unless you can prove to us that you have permission to remain in the country or that you will leave the country on another airline or by another means of transport.
    3. We will not give a refund on a Ticket if it has been stamped by a governmental organisation as "Not to be Refunded" or if the Ticket is a replacement for a lost or mutilated Ticket which was stamped as "Not to be Refunded" by a governmental organisation, unless you prove to us that you have permission of that governmental organisation to receive a refund.
    4. We will not give a refund on a Ticket for any flight on which you have been refused carriage (for any of the reasons set out in Article 7.1) or from which you have been removed (for any of the reasons set out in Articles 11.1 to 11.3).

    We will pay a voluntary refund on a Ticket only if we or our Authorised Agents issued the Ticket.
  8. Limitation of your rights
    Unless we state otherwise in these Conditions of Carriage, the refund rights set out in this Article 10 represent your only rights against us if your carriage does not take place for any reason whatsoever. This means that we will have no other liability to you for any loss or expense whatsoever.

If we arrange for another company to provide you with surface carriage or other services (for example, a limousine, ground transfer, hotel reservation or accommodation or car rental) or if we issue you with a ticket or voucher relating to any such surface carriage or other services, we are acting only as your agent in making those arrangements or issuing the ticket or voucher. The terms and conditions of the company providing those services will apply to you.
  2. We will have no liability to you regarding any surface carriage or other services we arrange for you which are to be provided by another company unless caused solely by our negligence. See Articles 7.8 and 7.9 for other provisions concerning services provided by third parties.

    3. For details of required travel documents, we advise you to contact the embassy, consulate or other relevant body of all relevant countries prior to making your booking and at the time of making your booking. If you are not travelling immediately, we advise you to contact the same bodies again before you commence travel to ensure that the requirements which are applicable to you have not changed and that your travel documents remain valid for all flights, destinations and planned Stopovers.

    5. We will not be liable to you if you do not have all passports, visas, health certificates and other travel documents needed for your journey or if any of those documents are out of date or if you have not obeyed all laws, regulations, orders, and other requirements of all countries you will exit, enter, or through which you will transit during your journey.
    6. We will not accept you or your Baggage for carriage if your visas or travel documents do not appear to be in order or if you have not complied with the other requirements of this Article 13.1. We have the right to refuse carriage in this way even if you have started or completed part of your carriage before it becomes clear to us (whether as a result of operation of Article 13.1.4 or otherwise) that you have not complied with Article 13.1.
  2. Refusal of entry
    If you are refused entry to a country (including a country you transit through while en route to your destination), you must reimburse us in full on request any fine, penalty or charge assessed against us by the government concerned (including detention costs) as well as the fare for transporting you, and an escort if required, from that country.

  6. Security inspection
    You must allow security checks, searches and scans of your person by us, our handling agents, government officials, airport officials, police or military officials and other airlines involved in your carriage. If you do not allow all such security checks, searches and scans to be conducted, we will refuse to carry you and your Baggage. See also Article 8.6 for security checks on your Baggage.
Where your carriage is to be performed by us and other airlines in succession under one Ticket, or a Conjunction Ticket, it is likely to be regarded as a single operation for the purposes of the Warsaw Convention and the Montreal Convention. See Article 15.2 for limitations of our liability for such carriage.
  1. Applicable rules
    Our liability will be determined by applicable law and these Conditions of Carriage. Where other airlines are involved in your journey, their liability will be governed by applicable law and, unless these Conditions of Carriage state otherwise, their conditions of carriage. Applicable law may comprise the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention and/or laws which apply in individual countries. The Warsaw Convention and the Montreal Convention apply to international carriage as defined in those Conventions. Provisions concerning our liability are set out in Articles 15.2 to 15.6.
  2. Scope of liability
    We will be liable only for Damage occurring during carriage performed by us, or in relation to which we have a legal liability to you. Where we issue a Ticket for carriage by another airline, or we check-in your Baggage for carriage by another airline, we do so only as agent for that airline.
  3. General limitations
    1. Wherever the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention applies to your carriage, our liability will be subject to the rules and limitations of the applicable Convention.

    3. We may be wholly or partly exonerated from liability to you for Damage if we prove that the Damage did not result from our negligence, or that it resulted from the negligence of a third party, or that we took certain measures to avoid the Damage or that it was impossible to take such measures.
    4. We will not be liable for any Damage arising from our compliance with applicable local law or government rules and regulations, or from your failure to comply with the same, except as may be provided by the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention.
    5. Except where we state otherwise in these Conditions of Carriage, we will be liable to you only for compensatory damages you are entitled to recover for proven losses and costs under the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention or local laws which may apply.
    6. Your contract of carriage with us (including these Conditions of Carriage and all applicable exclusions and limits of liability) applies for the benefit of our Authorized Agents, servants, employees and representatives to the same extent as they apply to us. As a result, the total amount recoverable from us and our Authorized Agents, servants, employees and representatives will not be more than our own liability, if any.

    2-Nothing in these Conditions of Carriage:
    a) gives up or waives any exclusion or limitation of our liability available under the Warsaw Convention, or the Montreal Convention or applicable local law;
    b) or prevents us from excluding or limiting our liability under the Warsaw Convention, or the Montreal Convention, as applicable, or under any other laws which apply, or from waiving any defense available to us there under against any public social security body or any person liable to pay, or who has paid, compensation for the death, wounding or other bodily injury of a Passenger.

    C) We agree to make advance payments to you or your heirs subject to the following terms and conditions:
    1. the person receiving payment is a natural person (that is to say, a person in the ordinary sense of the word as opposed to artificial persons or corporations);
    2. you are, or the person receiving payment is, entitled to compensation under applicable laws;
    3. payments will be made only in respect of immediate economic needs;
    4. the amount of a payment will be proportional to the economic hardship being suffered as a result of the death, wounding or bodily injury, save that, in the case of death, it will not be less than the National Currency Equivalent of 15,000 SDRs per Passenger;
    5. payment will not be made later than 15 Days after the identity of the person entitled to compensation has been established under applicable laws;
    6. no person will be entitled to receive a payment if he or she or the Passenger to whom the payment relates, caused or contributed to the Damage to which the payment relates by his or her negligence;
    7. all payments will be made subject to the condition that they will be returned to us on proof that the recipient has not complied with or satisfied Article (15);

    13. save to the extent in conflict with any applicable law, and subject to payment of the minimum sum specified in Article
    14. in the case of death, our decision in relation to the payment amount will be final.

     

    4-Baggage

A) We will not be liable for Damage to Unchecked Baggage unless we caused the Damage by our negligence.

b) We will not be liable for Damage to Baggage resulting from the inherent defect, quality or vice of the Baggage. Likewise, we will not be liable for fair wear and tear of Baggage resulting from the usual and normal rigors of transportation by air (see also Article 8.7.6 regarding the suitability of your Baggage for transportation by air).

C) We are not liable for Damage to any item included in your Baggage which you are prohibited from including in your Baggage by Articles 8.3 and 8.4.

D) Our liability for Damage to Baggage is limited to the maximum amounts stated in Articles 15.5.4(a) to (e) unless you prove that the Damage resulted from our act or omission either done with the intention of causing Damage or recklessly and with knowledge that Damage would probably result. You may wish to make a special declaration of value (see Article 15.5.5) or buy yourself insurance to cover instances where the actual value or replacement cost of your Checked Baggage or Unchecked Baggage exceeds our liability.

  1. The National Currency Equivalent of 332 SDRs per Passenger applies to Damage to Unchecked Baggage where the Warsaw Convention applies to your carriage and where the damage is caused by our negligence;
  2. The National Currency Equivalent of 17 SDRs per kilogram, or any higher sum agreed by us pursuant to Article 15.5.5, applies to Damage to Checked Baggage where the Warsaw Convention applies to your carriage;
  3. The National Currency Equivalent of 1131 SDRs per Passenger, or any higher sum agreed by us pursuant to Article 15.5.5, applies to Damage to both Unchecked and Checked Baggage where the Montreal Convention applies to your carriage;
  4. The limit of liability for Damage to both Unchecked and Checked Baggage laid down by local law applies to your Baggage where local law applies to your carriage instead of the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention.
  5. The limits of liability for Damage to both Unchecked and Checked Baggage specified in Articles 15.5.4(a) and (b) apply to Damage to Unchecked Baggage and Checked Baggage respectively where neither the Warsaw Convention nor the Montreal Convention applies to your carriage and no limit of our liability is laid down by applicable local law.
  6. We will increase our liability to you for Damage to Checked Baggage to an amount specified by you and agreed by us at the time you hand your Checked Baggage to us at check-in, but only if you pay to us an additional charge calculated in accordance with our Regulations. This is known as a "special declaration of value". Please ask us for details of the applicable charges if you want to use this option.
  7. If the weight of your Checked Baggage is not recorded on the Baggage Check, we will presume that it is not more than the free baggage allowance for the class of carriage for which you were booked.
  8. Where carriage of your Baggage is performed by successive airlines and either the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention applies to that carriage, you are entitled to make a claim against us if we are the first or last airline in that carriage, even if the Damage to the Baggage did not occur during carriage by us.

5-Delay in the carriage of Passengers
Our liability for Damage caused by delay in your carriage by air is limited by the Warsaw Convention and the Montreal Convention. Where neither of those Conventions applies, we will have no liability to you for delay, except as provided in these Conditions of Carriage.

  1. Time limit for Baggage claims
    1. If you, or the person holding the Baggage Check and Baggage Identification Tag with your authority, receives Checked Baggage without complaint, the absence of complaint will be sufficient evidence that the Checked Baggage was received in good condition unless you prove otherwise.
    2. If you want to claim compensation from us for Damage to Checked Baggage, you must notify us as follows.
      1. if the Damage to Checked Baggage is physical in nature you must notify us in writing within 7 Days of receipt of the Checked Baggage;

Proof of purchase will not be required in relation to any item which costs less than US$5 (or National Currency Equivalent), or is more than 5 years old and has a claims value of less than US$50 (or National Currency Equivalent).
    2. In the case of a compensation claim concerning physical damage to Baggage, you must retain and, if requested by us, let us examine the affected Baggage so that we may assess the nature, extent and repairability of that damage.
    3. If you wish to claim the cost of replacement of an individual item which forms part of a claim for compensation for Damage to Baggage, you must consult us before you incur such cost otherwise we may not include the cost in any compensation payable. This requirement will not apply where the total cost of replacement items does not exceed US$50 or the National Currency Equivalent. Proof of purchase of all replacement items must accompany your claim. Proof of purchase will not be required in relation to any item which costs less than US$5 (or National Currency Equivalent).
    4. For all claims for compensation concerning Baggage, you must provide us with any information we may request to assess the eligibility of your claim for compensation and the amount of any compensation payable.
    5. If required by us, you will sign a statement of truth regarding the facts of your claim for Damage to Baggage before we pay any compensation to you.
    6. Failure by you to fully comply with the relevant requirements of Article 16.2 may adversely affect the amount of any compensation to which you may be entitled.
  3. Time limit for all actions for damages You will have no right to compensation for any Damage if an action is not brought within 2 years of the date of your arrival at the place of destination, or the date on which the aircraft was scheduled to arrive, or the date on which the carriage stopped.
