3.1 GENERAL PROVISIONS
3.1.1 We will provide carriage only to  persons who possess, and are named in a valid Ticket (which includes the Flight Coupon for that flight, unused Flight Coupons for subsequent flights recorded in the Ticket, and the Passenger Coupon), provided that you produce appropriate identification, where required by us or our Authorized Agents or agents. We reserve the right to refuse carriage to, and to retain the ticket of any person who has acquired a ticket in violation of applicable law or our tariffs, conditions, rules or regulations, or to any person presenting a ticket without being able to prove that he or she is the person named as passenger in the ticket.
3.1.2 A Ticket is not transferable, save that if your Ticket has been provided to you by a third party as part of a package holiday to which European Council Directive 90/314 of 13 June 1990 on Package Travel and Package Tours (as specified in local law) applies, you may be permitted to transfer your booking to another person if you are prevented due to Force Majeure from proceeding with the package. Where such a transfer is permitted by applicable law, we or our Authorised Agent will, at your request, replace your Ticket by issuing a new Ticket to another person, but only if you have satisfied all applicable legal requirements.  If you are in doubt whether your Ticket forms part of a package to which the above Directive applies, you should ask for advice from the person who sold you the Ticket.
3.1.3 Some Tickets are sold at discounted fares which may be partially or completely non-refundable. If you are in doubt whether your Ticket is non – refundable you should ask for advice from the person who sold you the Ticket.  You should choose the fare best suited to your needs. You may also wish to ensure that you have appropriate insurance to cover instances where you have to cancel your Ticket.
3.1.4 If you have a Ticket which is completely unused, and you are prevented from traveling due to Force Majeure, provided that you promptly advise us and furnish evidence such Force Majeure, we will provide you with a credit of any non-refundable amount of the fare, for future travel on us, subject to deduction of a reasonable administration fee. That credit will be valid for use by you for purchase of a Ticket for yourself or another person within 12 months after the credit is issued.
3.1.5 The Ticket is and remains at all times our property.
3.1.6 You shall not be entitled to be carried if the paper Ticket or part of it presented is mutilated, damaged, defaced  or if it has been altered otherwise than by us or an Authorised Agent. In the case of an Electronic Ticket, you shall not be entitled to be carried on a flight unless you provide positive identification (for example your valid passport, which must bear the serial number that matches the number specified in the e-Ticket Receipt/Itinerary).
3.1.7 Where you have an Electronic Ticket, it is advisable that you bring the e-Ticket Receipt/Itinerary with you to the airport as you may be asked to present this to us and/or to airport immigration and security personnel or other relevant authorities.
3.1.8 For the purposes of the Convention, an e-Ticket Receipt/Itinerary is deemed to serve as a passenger ticket and baggage check/document of carriage.
3.1.9 In case of loss, damage, defacing or mutilation of a Ticket (or part of it) by you or non-presentation of a paper Ticket containing the Passenger Coupon and all unused Flight Coupons, upon your request we may replace such Ticket (or part of it) by issuing a new Ticket, provided there is evidence, readily ascertainable at the time, that a Ticket valid for the flight(s) in question was duly issued and you sign an agreement to reimburse us for any costs and losses, up to the value of the original ticket, which are necessarily and reasonably incurred by us or another carrier for misuse of the Ticket.  We will not claim reimbursement from you for any such losses which result from our own negligence.  We shall charge a reasonable administration fee for this service, unless the loss, damage, defacing or mutilation was due to our negligence or that of our agent.
3.1.10 Where as provided in Paragraph 3.1.9 above satisfactory evidence is not available or you do not sign such an agreement, we may require you to pay up to the full Ticket price for a replacement Ticket, subject to refund if you later find the original Ticket and present that original to us unused or if and when we are satisfied that the lost, damaged, defaced or mutilated Ticket has not been used before the expiry of its validity.
3.1.11 A ticket is valuable so you should take appropriate measure to safeguard it and ensure that it is not lost, stolen, damaged or defaced. Similarly, e-ticket Receipt/Itinerary should be kept safely so that it is not lost, stolen, damaged or defaced. 

3.2 PERIOD OF VALIDITY
3.2.1 Except as otherwise provided in the Ticket, in these Conditions, or in applicable Tariffs (which may limit the validity of a ticket, in which case the limitation will be shown on the Ticket), a Ticket is valid for:
3.2.1.1 One year from the date of issue, if completely unused; or
3.2.1.2 Subject to the first travel occurring within one year from the date of issue, one year from the date of first travel under the Ticket
3.2.2 When you are prevented from travelling within the period of validity of the Ticket because at the time you request reservations we are unable to confirm a reservation, the validity of such Ticket will be extended solely by the period during which such confirmation of reservation could not be given, or you may be entitled to a refund in accordance with Article 10.  Apart from this, we will have no liability to you for any loss or expense whatsoever.
3.2.3 If after having commenced your carriage, you are prevented from travelling within the period of validity of the Ticket by reason of illness, we may extend the period of validity of your Ticket until the date when (in our reasonable opinion) you become fit to travel or until our first flight after such date from the point where the journey is resumed, on which space is available in the class of service for which the fare has been paid.  Such illness must be attested to by a medical certificate.  When the Flight Coupons remaining in the Ticket  involve one or more Stopovers, the validity of such Ticket may be extended for not more than three months from the date shown on such certificate. In such circumstances, we will similarly extend the period of validity of Tickets of other members of your immediate family accompanying you on the carriage you were prevented from completing.
3.2.4 In the event of death of a Passenger en route, the Tickets of persons accompanying the Passenger may be modified by us either by waiving the minimum stay or extending the validity. In the event of a death in the immediate family of a Passenger who has commenced carriage, the validity of that Passenger's Ticket and those of his or her immediate family who are accompanying the Passenger may likewise be modified. Any such modification shall be made upon receipt of a valid death certificate or other evidence satisfactory to us and any such extension of validity shall not be for a period longer than forty-five (45) Days from the date of the death.

3.3 FLIGHT COUPON SEQUENCE AND USE
3.3.1 Your Ticket is valid only for the carriage shown on the Ticket, from the place of departure via any Agreed Stopping Places to the final place of destination.  The fare you have paid is based upon our Tariffs and is for the carriage shown on the Ticket.  It forms an essential part of our contract with you.  The Ticket will not be honored and will lose its validity if all the Flight Coupons are not used in the sequence provided in the Ticket.
3.3.2 Should you wish to change any aspect of your carriage (including use of Flight Coupons out of sequence) you must contact us well in advance and before the day of  departure of any affected flight.  The fare for your new carriage will be calculated by us and, if higher than the fare paid, you will be given the option of accepting the new price or maintaining your original carriage as ticketed.  Should you be required to change any aspect of your carriage due to Force Majeure, you must contact us as soon as practicable and 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 satisfactory evidence of the Force Majeure. 
3.3.3 Should you change your carriage without our agreement, we will assess the correct price for your actual travel.  You will have to pay any difference between the price you have paid and the total fare we calculate for your revised carriage.  We will refund you the difference if the new price is lower (subject to deduction of a reasonable administration fee), but otherwise your unused Flight Coupons have no value. 
3.3.4 While some types of changes will not result in a change of fare, others, such as changing the place of departure (for example, if you do not fly the first segment) or reversing the direction you travel, can result in an increase in price. Many special fares are valid only on the dates and for the flights shown on the Ticket and may not be changed at all, or may be changed only upon payment of an additional fee to us or our Authorised Agent.
3.3.5 Each Flight Coupon contained in your Ticket will be accepted for carriage in the class of service on the date and flight for which space has been reserved.

Such carriage may be subject to additional conditions specified by us, which are available on request.
8.9.2 If accepted as Baggage, the animal, together with its container and food, shall not be included in your free Baggage allowance, but shall constitute excess baggage, for which you will be obliged to pay the applicable rate prior to your animal being accepted for carriage.

We reserve the right to make a refund in the same manner and the same currency used to pay for the Ticket.

10.6 NO OTHER RIGHTS

You may be disembarked and refused onward carriage at any point with no liability to us, and may be prosecuted for offences committed on board the aircraft.

15.1.2 For any damages up to 113,000 Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) (or the equivalent in local currency), we shall not exclude or limit our liability by proving that we and our agents have taken all necessary measures to avoid the damage or that it was impossible for us or our agents to take such measures.  Where the Montreal Convention applies, we shall not be liable for damages to the extent they exceed 113,000 Special Drawing Rights (or the equivalent in local currency) if we prove that such damage was not due to negligence or other wrongful act or omission by us or our servants or agents, or was solely due to the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of a third party.
15.1.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 15.1.1 and 15.1.2, if we prove that the damage was caused by, or contributed to by, the negligence of the injured or deceased Passenger (or the person claiming compensation), we may be exonerated wholly or partly from our liability in accordance with applicable law. 
15.1.4 Where required by law, we agree to make advance payments to you or your heirs subject to the following terms and conditions:
15.1.4.1 the person receiving payment is a natural person (that is to say physical person in the ordinary sense of the word as opposed to legal persons such as corporations);
15.1.4.2 you are, or the person receiving payment is, entitled to compensation under applicable laws;
15.1.4.3 payments will be made only in respect of immediate economic needs;
15.1.4.4 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 15,000 SDRs or equivalent in local currency per Passenger;
15.1.4.5 payment will not be made later than fifteen (15) Days after the identity of the person entitled to compensation has been confirmed under applicable laws provided satisfactory proof of such confirmation has been presented to us.
15.1.4.6 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;
15.1.4.7 the recipient of any payment will be obliged to return all payments received if proof is produced that the recipient has ceased to be able to comply at all times with Article 15.1.4.2 or he or she or the Passenger to whom the payment relates, caused or contributed to the Damage to which the payment relates;
15.1.4.8 payments will be off-set against any subsequent sums payable in respect of our liability under applicable laws;
15.1.4.9 except for payment of the minimum sum specified in Article 15.1.4.4 in respect of death, a payment made under this Paragraph 15.1.4 will not exceed the maximum damages for which we may be liable to pay the recipient;
15.1.4.10 the making of a payment will not constitute recognition or admission of liability by us;
15.1.4.11 no payment will be made unless the person receiving payment gives us a signed receipt which also acknowledges the applicability of Articles 15.1.4.7, 15.1.4.8, 15.1.4.9 and 15.1.4.10 and signs appropriate release and indemnity documents prescribed by us; and
15.1.4.12 unless in conflict with any applicable law, and subject to payment of the minimum sum specified in Article 15.1.4.4 in the case of death, our decision in relation to the payment amount will be final and binding.
15.1.5 We are not responsible for any illness, injury or disability, including death, attributable to your physical or general health condition or for the aggravation of such condition.
15.1.6 Please take notice that a number of medical studies indicate that there may be an association between prolonged immobility when traveling and the formation of blood clots in the legs (DVT). Although this is not a frequent occurrence, there are certain inherited and lifestyle factors which may increase the chance of this happening. If you have any concern about this issue you should consult your doctor before traveling.

15.2.4.4 The maximum 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. 
15.2.4.5 The maximum limit of liability for Damage to both Unchecked and Checked Baggage specified in Articles 15.2.4.1 and 15.2.4.2 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.

15.2.6 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.

15.3 DELAY IN THE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS

15.6 ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Where your journey involves an ultimate destination or stop in a country other than the country of origin, you are advised that the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention may be applicable to your entire journey, including any section entirely within the country of origin or destination.Where the Montreal Convention is applicable, the airline is liable for proven damages for death or personal injury, and certain defences to liability specified by that Convention will be inapplicable for damages not exceeding 113,000 SDRs or equivalent in local currency.Where the Montreal Convention is not applicable, the conditions of carriage of many airlines (including Etihad, as specified in Article 15.1.1) provide that the liability for death or bodily injury will not be subject to any financial limit defined by the Warsaw Convention and that, in respect of such damage up to a maximum of 113,000 SDRs or equivalent in local currency, any defence to liability based on proof that they have taken all necessary measures will not apply.  Where no such provisions are included in the airline's conditions of carriage, please note that; (i) for such Passengers on a journey to, from or with an agreed stopping place in the USA, the Warsaw Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable Tariffs provide that the liability of certain airlines, 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 will not depend on negligence on the part of the airline; and (ii) for such Passengers travelling by an airline not a party to such special contracts or on a journey to which the Warsaw Convention applies which is not to, from or having an agreed stopping place in the USA, the liability of the airline for death or personal injury to Passengers is limited in most cases to US$10,000 or US$20,000; and (iii) some countries impose higher limits than those stated in (i) and (ii).The names of airlines or parties to such special contracts of the type mentioned in (i) above, are available at all ticket offices of such airlines 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 airline's liability under the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention or such special contracts of carriage of the type mentioned in (i) above. For further information, please consult your airline or insurance company representatives.

Note: The limit of liability of US$75,000 specified in (i) above of this Article 15.6 is inclusive of legal fees and costs except that, in case of a claim brought in a state where a provision is made for separate award of legal fees and costs, the limit will be the sum of US$58,000 exclusive of legal fees and costs.
