3.1 通则 3.1.1 我们仅向 有效机票(这包括该航班的乘机联、在机票上记载的后续航班未用乘机联,及旅客联)的记名人和机票持有人提供运输,如果本公司或其授权代理人要求,您须提供适当的身份证明。如违反有关法律或我们运费表、条款、规则取得机票,或出示机票的人无法证明是机票记名人,本公司保留拒绝运输和收回机票的权利。 3.1.2 机票不可转让,但如果机票由第三方提供,属于符合1990年6月13日颁布的《套餐与短途旅行套餐第90/314/EEC号指令》的旅行套餐的一部分(由当地法律规定),但因不可抗力无法继续者,可获准转让预订机票给他人。 上述转让为有关法律所允许者,本公司或其授权代理人将依您的请求将您的票签发给另一个人,但须符合一切有关法律的规定。 对机票是否适用上述指令的套餐有疑问者,请向机票出售人咨询。 3.1.3 有些打折机票不能进行部分或全额退款。不知道机票是否可退者,请向机票出售人咨询。 您应当选择最适合您的票价。您可能还需要为不得不办理退票的情形办理保险。 3.1.4 完全未用的机票因为不可抗力而无法使用时,只要您及时通知我们并提供该不可抗力的证据,我们将向您提供不可退价款扣除合理手续费后的代币积分,可在未来乘坐本公司航班时使用。 您可以在该代币积分颁发后12个月内用其为自己或他人购机票。 3.1.5 机票是且始终是本公司财产。 3.1.6 不能持残损、破损、涂销 或由本公司或其授权代理以外者擅自涂改的机票乘机。对于电子机票,不能提供有效身份证明(如:有效护照,且必须附有同电子机票收据/行程表相符的序列号)的不能乘机。 3.1.7 凡持电子机票者,建议您携带电子机票收据/行程表到机场按要求向我们及/或机场移民和安检人员或其他有关当局出示。 3.1.8 根据“公约”,电子机票收据/行程表视同客票和行李票/运输文件。 3.1.9 因机票(或其部分)损失、破损、涂销或丢失或未出示包含旅客联和全部未使用乘机联的纸质机票而请求换票(或其部分)者,本公司可以为您出一张新票,但须提供当时可以确定的证据,证明机票手续合法且对有关航班有效,并且您需签署一份协议:因滥用机票对本公司或其他承运人造成的损失须予以必要的合理赔偿,但以机票原价为限。 上述损失如因为本公司过错造成,本公司不向您索赔。 我们对此服务收取手续费,但因本公司或其代理人的过错造成损失、损坏、涂销或丢失者除外。 3.1.10 不能提供前第3.1.9款要求的证据或没有签署该协议者,本公司可以要求您支付换票的全额票价,但以后发现原机票并向我们出示未使用机票者,或我们认为损失、损坏、涂销或丢失的机票在过期之前未用过者,则可以退款。 3.1.11 机票是贵重物品,您应当采取适当保护措施保证其不被丢失、盗窃、损坏或涂销。同样地,您应保管好电子机票收据/行程表,保证其不被丢失、盗窃、损坏或涂销。 3.2 有效期 3.2.1 除机票、本条款或有关运费表(有可能对机票有效性设定限制,具体限制信息见机票)另有规定外,机票的有效期为: 3.2.1.1 完全未使用的,自出票日起一年;或 3.2.1.2 自出票日起一年内旅行一次的,自第一次旅行日起一年 3.2.2 在您要求预订之时因我们无法予以确认而未在机票有效期内旅行时,该机票的有效期则依我们无法未予确认的期间顺延,您也可以要求按照第10条退票。 除此以外,我们对您遭受的任何损失或费用概不负责。 3.2.3 在启程后因为疾病未在机票有效期内旅行时,本公司可以延长有效期到您身体康复(根据本公司合理判断)可旅行之日,或此后自重新启程地有已付票价对应服务等级的座位的第一个航班日。 上述疾病须出具诊断书加以证明。 机票中的乘机联 涉及中途停留一个以上地方者,该机票有效期可自该证明日期延长但不超过三个月。在这种情况下,本公司同样也将延长与您同行直系亲属的机票的有效期。 3.2.4 旅客中途死亡者,随行旅客的机票可经我们修改,取消最短停留时间或延长有效期。在启程后旅客直系亲属死亡者,该旅客及其直系亲属或随行者机票的有效期可以修改。修改应在收到有效死亡证书或本公司认为合格的其他证据后作出,延长的期限不得超过自死亡之日起的四十五(45)天。 3.3 飞机联票顺序及使用
3.3.1 机票仅对机票指定的旅程有效,即自出发地经约定的停留地到最终目的地。 所付票价以我们运费表为准并用于机票指定的旅程。 它构成我们之间合同的必要组成部分。 如果没有按机票提供的顺序使用所有乘机联,机票将不被承认,并丧失其有效性。
如果您的机票在意大利购买(无论是从售票处、呼叫中心、授权旅行社还是通过我们的网站 www.etihad.com/it 购买),且不论因何种原因错过或未使用行程的第一段航班,但仍想使用该行程的后续航班(当后续航班的出发时间比未使用航班到达时间晚 12 小时以上时)或最初以同一费率预订的返程航班而不额外支付任何费用或调整票价,您必须在未使用航班出发后 24 小时内致电 +39 02 23331300 联系我们,要求我们保留剩余航班预订的有效性。如果下一段航班的出发时间离第一段航班不到 24 小时,您应该在下一段航班的出发时间前提前至少 2 小时联系我们。如果您通过以上方式将您的意愿告知我们,我们将对您的剩余行程重新出票,不会额外收取费用或调整票价。如果您没有遵循该原则,则所有的剩余航班预订将被取消,但如果您后来决定使用该机票搭乘航班,在有空余座位的前提下,我们将向您收取购买原始机票的票价与在重新出票时适用于修订行程的同等舱位最高票价之间的差额。最终将根据原始票价的票价计算规则,按照对您最为有利的方式进行计费。
3.3.2 如果您希望变更运输的任何部分(包括飞机联票的使用顺序),必须在受影响航班 起飞前尽早与本公司联系。 新航程的票价由我们计算,高于已付票价时,您可以选择接受新票价或维持原旅程。 因不可抗力变更运输任何部分者,必须尽早与本公司联系,我们将会在不增加运费的前提下,尽力将您运送到下一个中途停留地或最终目的地,但须向我们提供满意的不可抗力证据。
3.3.3 未经同意变更运输者,我们将根据实际旅行核定正确价格。 您必须支付已付票价同变更运输后我们计算所得总票价之间的差价。 如果新价格较低,我们将退回差价(扣除合理手续费后),但您未使用的乘机联没有任何价值。 3.3.4 有些类型的变更会导致票价变化,如变更起飞地(比如您没有飞第一个航段)或逆行时,导致价格增加。许多特殊票价只对机票指定的日期和航班有效,不准任何变更,或只能在向本公司或其授权代理人支付额外费用后方可变更。 3.3.5 机票中所包含每个飞机联票将按照预订的日期、航班和服务等级运输。当初出票时未指明预订者,以后可以根据本公司运费表和航班予以保留席位。 3.3.6 在最迟办理登机手续时间之前没有出现或在该最迟办理时间之前至少24小时未提前通知我们变更运输任何部分者,本公司可以取消您的返程或后续航班预订并收取合理的手续费。 但是,如您确实事先通知我们,本公司不会取消您后续的航班预订。 3.4 本公司名称和地址 本公司名称缩写可能会出现在本公司航空公司代码(EY)或机票中。本公司地址为:PO Box 35566, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates(阿拉伯联合酋长国,阿布扎比,35566邮箱)。
4.1 票价 票价只适用于自起始地机场经约定的停留地到最终目的地的机场,按照机票上指定日期和时间运输,但另有明确规定的除外。 票价不包括机场之间和机场同城市终端之间陆地运输服务或其他运输或服务。 机票所示具体日期和行程表的票价,按照支付票价之日的运费表计算。 变更行程或旅行日期时,可能影响支付的票价。没有支付票价者本公司保留拒绝运输的权利。 4.2 税金、费用及收费 4.2.1 政府、其他机构或机场运营商征收的适用税金、费用及收费,您应在启程前全额支付。在购买机票时,我们会告知您的票价中不含税金、费用及收费,其中大部分一般单独列在机票上。 对航空旅行机构征收的税金、费用及收费不属于本公司控制并且持续变化,可能在出票日后征收或增加。机票上的税金、费用及收费提高时,您有义务在启程前支付。 同样地,即使一项税金、费用及收费是在出票后新增的,您也有义务在启程前支付。 同样地,如果您在出票时支付的税金、费用或收费被取消以致不再适用,或此类费用有所调降以致应付金额减少,则您有权要求退还相应金额。在购买或得到机票时如本公司或其授权代理人未告知您有关税金、费用及收费或告知内容有出入,并不影响您启程前在机场支付相应金额的责任。不支付税金、费用及收费者,本公司保留拒绝运输的权利。 4.2.2 如果机票没有使用,则可以退还所提及的特定税费、费用和收费。您可以通过在线(免费)或我们的呼叫中心或销售办公室(需缴纳服务费用)申请退还此类费用。您可以访问 https://www.etihad.com/zh/before-you-fly/manage-my-booking,提交在线申请,确认您符合退款条件后,我们会在申请后的 30 天内为您退还此类费用。
4.3 特殊情形的附加费 4.3.1 特殊情形下,第三方可能在特殊情形下向我们征收一类或一定金额的收费(例如,非法干预民航引发的附加保险费或附加安保费)。 4.3.2 此外,本公司运营成本可能因超出我们控制的特殊情形而急剧上升(例如,燃油费飙升)。 4.3.3 在此情况下,您需要向本公司支付机票附加费,该费用均分配到您的运费上(即使出票日后征收)。 我们将尽早告知您有关票价附加费的详细情况。 在通过您的联系资料无法建立联系时,我们将在您办理登机手续时通知您有关的票价附加费。 您可以选择不支付票价附加费并按照第10.2条规定收到非自愿退票款,本公司的义务到此为止。 4.3.4 特殊情形附加费不再适用于您的运输,或金额减少时,可以就已收取的附加费要求退款。 有关如何退款的详细情况请询问本公司或其授权代理人。 4.3.5 未支付附加费者,我们保留拒绝运输的权利。 4.4 币种 货币票价、税金、费用、收费和特殊情形附加费可以出票地所在国的货币支付,在付款时或之前由本公司或其授权代理人指定的除外(例如,因本地货币不可兑换)。本公司可以自行决定接受其他货币的付款。

16.1 索赔通知 接受行李的行李票持有人在交付时没有投诉即是行李以完好状态交付并符合运输合同的充分证据,除非有相反证据证明。 如旅客希望就托运行李的损坏投诉或起诉,必须在发现损坏后立即通知我们,至迟在收到托运行李的七(7)日内,行李丢失者,在行李应到达日的七(7)日内。 旅客希望就托运行李的延误投诉或起诉者,必须在托运行李交由旅客处置的二十一(21)日内通知我们。上述通知必须以书面作出。 16.2 诉讼时效 旅客在到达目的地之日或者飞机预计到达日或者运输停止日的二(2)年内没有提起诉讼者,丧失损害赔偿请求权。诉讼时效的计算方法根据受理法院地的法律确定。

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. When a Ticket is originally issued without a reservation being specified, space may be later reserved subject to our Tariff and the availability of space on the flight requested. 3.3.6 If you do not show up for any flight prior to the Check-In -Deadline or you change any part of your carriage without advising us at least 24 hours earlier in advance of that Deadline, we may cancel your return or onward reservations and charge reasonable administrative fee. However, if you do advise us in advance, we will not cancel your subsequent flight reservations. 3.4 OUR NAME AND ADDRESS Our name may be abbreviated to our Airline Designator Code (which is EY), or otherwise, in the Ticket. Our address is P O Box 35566, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

We will contact you with details of any applicable fare surcharges as soon as possible. If we are unable to establish contact using your contact details, we will advise you of any applicable fare surcharge at check-in. You are free to choose not to pay a fare surcharge and receive an involuntary refund of your Ticket in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.2, in which case we will have no other liability to you. 4.3.4 If any exceptional circumstances surcharge ceases to apply to all or part of your carriage, or a lesser amount is due, a refund can be claimed in respect of any such surcharge which has been paid. Please ask us or our Authorized Agent for details of how to claim such refund. 4.3.5 We reserve the right to refuse transportation if the applicable surcharges have not been paid. 4.4 CURRENCY Fares, taxes, fees, charges and exceptional circumstances surcharges are payable in the currency of the country in which the Ticket is issued, unless another currency is indicated by us or our Authorised Agent at or before the time payment is made (for example, because of the non-convertibility of the local currency).

11.1 GENERAL You will not at any time, conduct yourself aboard the aircraft in any manner likely to endanger or threaten (whether by hoax threats or otherwise) the aircraft or any person or property on board; obstruct, hinder or interfere with the crew in the performance of their duties; fail to comply with or contravene any instructions or direction of the crew, whether oral or by notice, including but not limited to those with respect to smoking, alcohol or drug consumption, security and safety or use of electronic equipment; or behave in a manner which causes or is likely to cause discomfort, distress, inconvenience, damage or injury to other passengers, the crew or property. If, in our reasonable opinion, you conduct yourself on board the aircraft in any of these ways, we may take such measures as we deem reasonably necessary to prevent continuation of such conduct, including restraint. 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. 11.2 PAYMENT OF DIVERSION & OTHER COSTSIf, as a result of conduct by you of the sort mentioned in Article 11.1 we decide, in the exercise of our reasonable discretion, to divert the aircraft for the purpose of offloading you and/or your Baggage, you must pay all costs resulting from that diversion and, in addition, you must reimburse us for any costs we incur as a result of delaying the aircraft for the purpose of removing you and/or your Baggage.

12.1 If we make arrangements for you with any third party to provide any services other than carriage by air, or if we issue a ticket or voucher relating to transport or services (other than carriage by air) provided by a third party such as surface transportation, hotel reservations or car rental, in doing so we act only as your agent. The terms and conditions of the third party service provider will apply. 12.2 If we are also providing surface transport to you, other conditions may apply to such surface transport. Such conditions are available from us upon request. We will have no liability to you for any surface transportation or other services we arrange for you under Article 12.1, unless caused solely by our negligence.

We reserve the right to require you to present to us any of these documents at any time during your carriage and to refuse carriage of you and your Baggage if you do not comply with these requirements, or your travel documents do not appear to be in order, even if you have started or completed part of your carriage before it becomes clear to us that you have not complied with this Article 13.2. 13.3 REFUSAL OF ENTRY If you are denied entry into any country (including a country through which you are transiting en route to your final destination), you will be responsible to pay any fine or charge, and to reimburse any fine or charge assessed against us by the Government concerned, and for reimbursing us for the cost of transporting you (and an escort, if required) from that country. The fare collected for carriage to the point of refusal or denied entry will not be refunded by us. 13.4 PASSENGER RESPONSIBLE FOR FINES, DETENTION COSTS, ETC. If we are required to pay any fine, penalty detention costs, removal expenses, escorting charges, costs of tickets issued for you or to incur any other expenditure by reason of your failure to comply with laws, regulations, orders, demands or other travel requirements of the countries you have traveled to or because you have failed or to produce the required documents on seeking entry to a country, you shall reimburse us in full on demand any amount so paid or expenditure so incurred. We may apply towards such payment or expenditure the value of any unused carriage on your ticket, or any of your funds in our possession 13.5 CUSTOMS INSPECTION If required, you shall attend inspection of your Baggage, by customs or other Government officials. We are not liable to you for any loss or damage suffered by you in the course of such inspection or through your failure to comply with this requirement. 13.6 SECURITY INSPECTION You shall submit to any security checks, searches and scans by Governments, airport officials, Carriers handling agents, police or military officials or by us. 13.7 CONFISCATED TRAVEL DOCUMENTS We will not be liable to you for the return of any of your travel documents, identification documents or Tickets confiscated by any other Carrier or any governmental or other authority.

15.1 DEATH OF OR INJURY TO PASSENGERS 15.1.1 Subject as provided in Articles 15.1.2, 15.1.3, 15.1.5, 15.1.6 and 15.5, our liability for proven damages sustained in the event of death, or any other bodily injury suffered by a Passenger in the event of an accident shall not be subject to any financial limit, be it defined by law, the Convention, other convention or contract. 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 BAGGAGE 15.2.1 We will not be liable for Damage to Unchecked Baggage unless we caused the Damage by our negligence and such negligence is proved by the Passenger or the person claiming compensation. 15.2.2 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. 15.2.3 We are not liable for damage during carriage that is not international carriage to which a Convention would apply to any item included in your Baggage which you are prohibited from including in your Baggage by Article 8.3. 15.2.4 Our liability for Damage to Baggage is limited to the maximum amounts stated in Articles 15.2.4.1 to 15.2.4.5 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 15.2.5) or buy yourself insurance to cover instances where the actual value or replacement cost of your Checked Baggage or Unchecked Baggage exceeds our liability. 15.2.4.1 The maximum amount of 332 Special Drawing Rights (approximately US$400 or equivalent in local currency) per Passenger applies to Damage to Unchecked Baggage where the Warsaw Convention applies to your carriage; 15.2.4.2 The maximum amount of 17 Special Drawing Rights (approximately US$20 or equivalent in local currency) per kilogram, or any higher sum agreed by us pursuant to Article 15.2.5, applies to Damage to Checked Baggage where the Warsaw Convention applies to your carriage; 15.2.4.3 The maximum amount of 1131 Special Drawing Rights (approximately US$ 1800 or equivalent in local currency) per Passenger, or any higher sum agreed by us pursuant to Article 15.2.5, applies to Damage to both Unchecked and Checked Baggage where the Montreal Convention applies to your carriage; 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. 15.2.5 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. 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. 15.2.7 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 only if (a) you are the passenger and we are the first carrier or (b) you are the passenger and we are the last carrier or (c) the Damage occurred during the carriage of Baggage by us. 15.3 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. 15.4 PROCESSING OF BAGGAGE CLAIMS 15.4.1 All claims for compensation for Damage to Baggage must be accompanied by an itemised list identifying each affected item by description, manufacturer and age, together with satisfactory proof of purchase or ownership for all such items. Proof of purchase will not be required in relation to any item which costs less than US$50 (or equivalent in local currency), or is more than 5 years old and has a claim value of less than US$50 (or equivalent in local currency). 15.4.2 In the case of a compensation claim concerning physical damage to Baggage, you must retain and, allows us examine the affected Baggage so that we may assess the nature, extent and repairability of that damage. 15.4.3 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 and we must agree in writing 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 equivalent in local currency). 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$50 (or equivalent in local currency). 15.4.4 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. 15.4.5 You must sign a statement of truth regarding the facts of your claim for Damage to Baggage and an appropriate release and indemnity document before we pay any compensation to you. 15.4.6 Failure by you to fully comply with the relevant requirements of Article 15.4 may adversely affect the availability and the amount of any compensation to which you may be entitled. 15.5 GENERAL 15.5.1 If we issue a ticket or if we check Baggage for carriage on another carrier, we do so only as agent for the other Carrier. Nevertheless, with respect to Checked Baggage, you may make a claim against the first or last Carrier. 15.5.2 We are not liable for any damage arising from our compliance with or your failure to comply with applicable laws or Government rules and regulations. 15.5.3 Except as may be specifically provided otherwise in these Conditions of Carriage or by applicable law, we shall be liable to you only for recoverable compensatory damages for proven losses. 15.5.4 The contract of carriage, including these Conditions of Carriage and exclusions or limits of liability, applies to our authorised agents, servants, employees and representatives to the same extent as it and they apply to us. The total amount recoverable from us and from such authorised agents, employees, representatives and persons shall not exceed the amount of our own liability, if any. 15.5.5 Nothing in these Conditions of Carriage shall waive any exclusion or limitation of our liability or any defence available to us under the Convention or applicable laws unless otherwise expressly stated. 15.5.6 Nothing in these Conditions of Carriage shall waive any exclusion or limitation of our liability or any defence available to us under the Convention or applicable laws as against any public social insurance body or any person who is liable to pay compensation or has paid compensation in respect of the death, wounding or other bodily injury of a Passenger. 15.5.7 We reserve the right to amend these Conditions of Carriage from time to time and such amended Conditions of Carriage shall be effective and valid from the date of amendment. 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.
16.1 NOTICE OF CLAIMS Acceptance of Baggage by the bearer of the Baggage Check without complaint at the time of delivery is sufficient evidence that the Baggage has been delivered in good condition and in accordance with the contract of carriage, unless you prove otherwise.If you wish to file a claim or an action regarding Damage to Checked Baggage, you must notify us forthwith after you discover the Damage, and at the latest, within seven (7) Days of receipt of the Checked Baggage or in the case of lost baggage within seven (7) days of the date the Checked Baggage should have arrived. If you wish to file a claim or an action regarding delay of Checked Baggage, you must notify us within twenty-one (21) Days from the date the Checked Baggage has been placed at your disposal. Every such notification must be made in writing. 16.2 LIMITATION OF ACTIONSAny right to damages shall be extinguished if an action is not brought within two (2) years of the date of your arrival at destination, or the date on which the aircraft was scheduled to arrive, or the date on which the carriage stopped. The method of calculating the period of limitation shall be determined by the law of the court where the case is heard.
Carriage of you and your Baggage is also provided in accordance with certain other regulations and conditions applying to or adopted by us. These regulations and conditions as varied from time to time are important. They concern among other things: (i) the carriage of unaccompanied minors, pregnant women, and sick passengers, (ii) restrictions on use of electronic devices and items; (iii) the on board consumption of alcoholic beverages. Regulations concerning these matters are available from us upon request.
