ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised that the carriage hereunder is subject to the rules and limitations relating to liability established by the applicable Convention unless such carriage is not carriage by air and is not international carriage to which the Convention apply. For such passengers on a journey to, from or with an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, the Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the liability of certain carriers, parties to such special contracts, for death of or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed US$75,000 per passenger, and that this liability up to such limit shall not depend on negligence on the part of the carrier. For such passengers traveling by a carrier not a party to such special contracts or on a journey not to, from or having an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, for any proven damages up to and including the applicable Convention limit of liability which is 128,821SDR, where the Montreal Convention is applicable. The names of carriers, parties to such special contracts, are available at all ticket offices of such carriers and may be examined on request. Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability under the Convention or such special contracts of carriage. For further information, please consult your airline or insurance company representative.
NOTICE OF BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
Liability for loss, delay, or damage to baggage is limited unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. For many international journeys, the Warsaw Convention may apply with liability limits of approximately US S9.07 per pound (US $20.00 per kilo) for checked baggage and US $400.00 per passenger for unchecked baggage. For travel wholly between U.S points, Federal rules require any limit on an airline's baggage liability to be at least US$2800 per passenger. Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles. Some carriers assume no liability for fragile, valuable or perishable articles. Further information may be obtained from the carrier.

You may also be required to pay taxes, fees and charges not already collected. The following notice does not apply to tickets sold in the United States for transportation originating In the United States.
DENIED BOARDING BY OVERBOOKING
