Airline Responsibility and Liability |
The sole and exclusive responsibility
and liability of any IATA carrier used , shall be in accordance
with and as limited by the contract of carriage in the
passenger's ticket when issued, the applicable tariffs,
and the provisions of the Warsaw Convention, if applicable.
Any carrier used shall not be responsible or liable for
any act, omission, or occurrence during the time passengers
are not on board its airplanes. All tours, services, and
transportation (other than air) are furnished by contractors
that are independent and that do not act for or on behalf
of the carrier, nor are servants of the same, and neither
do they have any business relationship, as joint ventures
or otherwise.
Further, the carrier shall not be responsible or liable
in any way for the accuracy of any representations of
the tour operator and its agents on tours or tour services
other than those contained in the tour brochures or tour
itineraries. Carrier liability for passenger's baggage
is clearly stated on the passenger contract included on
all tickets or can be found on file for inspection at
the offices of the carrier. Liability for checked and
unchecked baggage shall in no event exceed the actual
loss incurred by the passenger, subject to proof of the
amount of the loss. |
Overbooking of Flights |
Airline flights may be overbooked,
and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available
on a flight for which a person has a confirmed reservation.
If the flight is overbooked, no one will be denied a seat
until airline personnel first ask for volunteers willing
to give up their reservation in exchange for a payment
of the airline's choosing. If there are not enough volunteers
the airline will deny boarding to other persons in accordance
with its particular boarding priority. With few exceptions
persons denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to
compensation.
The complete rules for the payment of compensation and
each airline's boarding priorities are available at all
airport ticket counters and boarding locations.
Some airlines do not apply these consumer protections
to travel from some foreign countries, although other
consumer protections may be available. Check with the
airline. |
