CONTRACTUAL CONDITIONS AND OTHER IMPORTANT NOTIFICATIONS
PASSENGERS OF A FLIGHT WITH A FINAL DESTINATION OR A STOP IN A COUNTRY OTHER THAN THE COUNTRY OF DEPARTURE ARE INFORMED THAT INTERNATIONAL TREATIES KNOWN AS THE MONTREAL CONVENTION, OR ITS PREDECESSORS, THE WARSAW CONVENTION, INCLUDING THEIR AMENDMENTS (THE WARSAW CONVENTION SYSTEM), MAY APPLY TO THE ENTIRE FLIGHT, INCLUDING ANY PART OF IT WITHIN A GIVEN COUNTRY. FOR THESE PASSENGERS, THE APPLICABLE TREATY, INCLUDING SPECIAL TRANSPORT CONTRACTS INCLUDED IN ANY APPLICABLE TARIFF, GOVERNS AND MAY LIMIT THE CARRIER'S LIABILITY.
NOTICE OF LIABILITY LIMITATION
The Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention system may apply to your flight, and these Conventions govern and may limit the liability of air carriers for bodily injury or death, loss or damage to baggage, and delay.
Where the Montreal Convention applies, liability is limited as follows:
EC Regulation No. 889/2002 requires carriers from the European Community to apply the provisions of the Montreal Convention and the associated liability limitations for all passenger and baggage air transport activities. Many carriers not part of the European Community have chosen to apply the same convention regarding the transport of passengers and their baggage.
Where the Warsaw Convention system applies, the following liability limits may apply:
More information can be obtained from the carrier regarding the applicable limits for your flight. If your flight involves transportation by different carriers, you should contact each carrier separately for information on the applicable liability limits. Regardless of the applicable convention for your flight, you may benefit from a higher liability limit for loss, damage, or delay of baggage by making a special declaration of the value of the baggage at check-in and paying any applicable supplementary fees. Otherwise, if the value of your baggage exceeds the applicable liability limit, you should insure it fully before traveling. Time limit for action: Any action to claim damages must be initiated within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived. Baggage claims: A written notice must be sent to the carrier within 7 days of receiving the checked baggage in case of damage and within 21 days from the date the baggage was made available to the passenger in case of delay.

5. You can obtain more information about your contract of carriage and find out how to obtain a copy at the ticket sales points. Many carriers have included this information on their websites. If the applicable law requires, you have the right to inspect the full text of your contract of carriage at the carrier's airport and sales points, and, upon request, you have the right to receive a free copy by mail or other courier service from each carrier.
6. If a carrier sells air transport services or accepts baggage for transport indicating transportation by another carrier, it does so only as an agent for the other carrier.
YOU CANNOT TRAVEL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL REQUIRED TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, SUCH AS PASSPORT AND VISA.
SOME COUNTRIES MAY REQUIRE YOUR CARRIER TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU OR TO GRANT ACCESS TO PASSENGER DATA.
DENIED BOARDING: Flights may be overbooked, and there is a small chance that a seat will not be available on a flight even if you have a confirmed reservation. In most situations, if you are involuntarily denied boarding, you are entitled to compensation. If required by applicable law, the carrier must seek volunteers before denying boarding involuntarily. Contact the carrier for the full rules on denied boarding compensation (DBC) and for information on the carrier's boarding priorities.
BAGGAGE: For certain types of items, you can declare a higher value. Carriers may apply special rules for fragile, valuable, or perishable items. Check with your carrier. Checked baggage: Carriers may provide a free allowance for checked baggage, which is determined by the carrier and may depend on the class and/or route. Carriers may charge additional fees for checked baggage that exceeds the allowance. Check with your carrier. Hand baggage: Carriers may provide a free allowance for hand baggage, which is determined by the carrier and may depend on the class, route, and/or type of aircraft. It is recommended to minimize hand baggage. Check with your carrier. If multiple carriers provide your journey, each carrier may apply different baggage rules (both for checked and hand baggage). SPECIAL LIABILITY LIMITATIONS FOR BAGGAGE FOR TRAVEL IN THE UNITED STATES: For domestic flights entirely between points in the United States, federal law requires that any carrier's liability limit for baggage be at least $3,300.00 per passenger or the amount mandated by the current 14 CFR 254.5.
CHECK-IN TIME. The time indicated on the ticket/receipt is the departure time of the aircraft. The flight departure time is not the same as the check-in time or the time you need to be at the boarding gate. Your carrier may refuse transport if you are late. Check-in times announced by the carrier are the latest times passengers can be accepted for the flight; boarding times announced by your carrier are the latest times passengers must present themselves for boarding.
DANGEROUS GOODS (HAZARDOUS MATERIALS). For safety reasons, dangerous goods must not be packed in checked baggage or hand baggage unless expressly permitted. Dangerous goods include, but are not limited to, compressed gases, corrosives, explosives, flammable liquids and solids, radioactive materials, oxidizers, poisons, infectious substances, and bags with installed alarm systems. For safety reasons, other restrictions may also apply. Check with your carrier.
