LIABILITY LIMITATIONS ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER 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 provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion entirely within the country of origin or destination. For such passengers on a journey to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in the United States of American, 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 U.S. $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 travelling 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 American, liability of the Carrier for death or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to approximately U.S. $10,000 or US$20,000. 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 Warsaw Convention or such special contracts of carriage. For further information, please consult your airline or insurance company representative. NOTE: The limit of liability of U.S.$75,000 above is inclusive of legal fees and costs except that in case of a claim brought in a state where provision is made for separate aware of legal fees and costs, the limit shall be the sum of US$58,000 exclusive of legal fees and costs. 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 most international travel (including domestic portions of international journeys) the liability limit is approximately US$9.07 per pound (US$20.00 per kg) for checked baggage and US$400.00 per passenger for unchecked baggage. |
