NOTICE-OVERBOOKING OF FLIGHTS
Airline flights may be overbooked, and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available on a flight for which a person has a confirmed reservation. If the flight is overbooked, no one will be denied a seat until airline personnel first ask for volunteers willing to give up their reservation in exchange for a payment of the airline's choosing. If there are not enough volunteers, the airline will deny boarding to other persons in accordance with its particular boarding priority. With few exceptions, persons denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to compensation. The complete rules for the payment of compensation and each airline's boarding priorities are available at all airport ticket counters and boarding locations. Some airlines do not apply these consumer protections to travel from some foreign countries, although other consumer protections may be available. Check with your airline or your travel agent.

INTERNATIONAL-NOTICE OF BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
For most international travel (including domestic portions of international journeys) liability for loss, delay, or damage to baggage is limited to approximately $9.07 per pound ($20.00 per kilo) for checked baggage and $400 per passenger for unchecked baggage unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. Excess valuation may not be declared on certain types of valuable articles. Carriers assume no liability for fragile or perishable articles. Further information may be obtained from the carrier. Liability is for a maximum of 70 lbs. ($640.00) per checked bag. The limit may be lowered for additional pieces to certain destinations or when using connecting carriers.

ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS ON LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Passengers embarking upon a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of departure are advised that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including the portion entirely within the countries of departure and destination. The Convention governs and in most cases limits the liability of carriers to passengers for death or personal injury to approximately $10,000. 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. For further information, please consult your airline or insurance company representative.

DOMESTIC-NOTICE OF BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
• Travel wholly within the 50 United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
• Liability is limited to $2,800 per ticketed passenger, unless a higher value (for checked baggage) is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. Excess valuation may not be declared on certain types of articles.
• No liability for electronic equipment, photographic equipment, jewelry, cash, computer equipment, or other similar valuable items.

NOTICE OF INCORPORATED TERMS

Other carriers on which you may be ticketed may have different conditions of carriage.

INTERNATIONAL (WARSAW) CONVENTION NOTICE
If the passenger’s journey involves an ultimate destination or stop in a country other than the country of departure, the Warsaw Convention may be applicable and the Convention governs and in most cases limits the liability of carriers for death or personal injury and for loss of or damage to baggage.
