Flights Terms and Conditions

GENERAL: Passenger transportation by Eastern Airlines, LLC. (Hereafter referred to as “Carrier”) is subject to the following terms and conditions, in addition to any terms and conditions printed on or in any Ticket or Ticket-less Travel Confirmation, specified on Carrier’s Internet site with respect to electronic ticketing, or published in Carrier’s schedules. By purchasing or accepting transportation, the passenger agrees to be bound thereby.

(2) Carrier reserves the right, in its sole discretion and to the extent not prohibited by federal law, to change, delete, or add to any of the terms of this Contract of Carriage without prior notice. All changes must be in writing and approved by a corporate officer of the Carrier. To the extent there is a conflict between the Contract of Carriage and information printed on the Ticket or specified on the Carrier’s website, the Contract of Carriage governs. Applicable terms and conditions are those in effect as of the date a Passenger commences travel on a given itinerary. In the event these conditions of Carriage are amended after a Ticket is purchased but prior to commencement of travel in a way that substantially affects the terms and conditions of a Passenger’s Carriage, a full refund of the Ticket price may be requested if the Passenger does not agree to be bound by the conditions as amended.

RESERVATIONS: Confirmation of Reservations. A reservation on a given flight is confirmed by the issuance of a Ticket. Transportation is subject to the fares and charges in effect when the Ticket is purchased. The fare is guaranteed once a reservation is made and a Ticket is purchased. If a Ticket is purchased before an increase in the fare becomes effective, the Ticket shall be honored for transportation between the airports and at the fare for which it was purchased. No person shall be entitled to transportation except upon presentation of a valid Ticket or proof of identification acceptable to Carrier to confirm that transportation has been purchased. Such Ticket shall entitle the Passenger to transportation subject to this Contract of Carriage and, in particular, certain terms and conditions. Tickets are Nontransferable. Tickets, and any travel credit issued for unused Tickets, are nontransferable unless specified explicitly on the Ticket. Carrier is not liable to the holder of a Ticket for use or refund of such Ticket when presented by a person other than the person to whom the Ticket was issued. If a Ticket is used by a person other than the person to whom it was issued, Carrier shall not be liable for the loss, destruction, damage, or delay of such unauthorized person’s Baggage or other personal property or the death or injury of such unauthorized person arising from or in connection with such unauthorized use. Tickets Accepted. Carrier will accept only tickets issued by Contracted Ticketing Representatives. Any Tickets issued in conjunction with travel on another airline will not be accepted unless required by federal government regulation or at the Carrier’s sole discretion.

LIABILITY: The liability, if any, of Carrier for loss of, damage to, or delay in the delivery of Checked or carryon Baggage and/or its contents, with the exception of wheelchairs, mobility aids, and assistive devices used by a Qualified Individual with a Disability, is limited to the proven amount of damage or loss, but in no event shall be greater than $3,500.00 per fare-paying Passenger pursuant to 14 CFR § 254.4 unless the passenger at time of check-in has declared the value of the baggage to be in excess of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00) (“excess valuation”) and has paid an additional charge of One Dollar ($1.00) for each One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of excess valuation. See Contract of Carriage for excess valuation limitations. Carrier does not assume liability for claims of missing or damaged articles if a Passenger’s Checked Baggage is not damaged, delayed, or lost.

Passengers traveling on a domestic portion of a one-way or round-trip journey which originates in or includes an ultimate destination or a stop other than in the United States are subject to the rules and limitations relating to liability established by the Montreal Convention (the “Convention”), which are fully incorporated herein, unless such carriage is not “international carriage” as defined by the Convention. As to any claim whatsoever the Carrier waives no such limits of liability and reserves all defenses available under the Convention to such claims. With respect to third parties, the Carrier reserves all right of recourse against any other person, including without limitation, the rights of contribution and indemnity.
