2. WHEN THESE CONDITIONS OF CARRIAGE APPLY

2.1 Application of Conditions of Carriage

Except as provided in 2.4, 2.7 and 2.9, these Conditions of Carriage apply wherever “Par Avion Airlines” or our Airline Designator Code “FO” is shown on a Booking, and in any case where we have a legal liability to you in relation to your flight.

2.2 Gratuitous or reduced fare carriage

These Conditions of Carriage also apply to gratuitous and reduced fare carriage except to the extent that we have told you otherwise.

2.3 Basis of carriage

The carriage of a Passenger on any flight by Par Avion Airlines is, without exception, subject to:

• a Booking
• these Conditions of Carriage and the Key Conditions of Carriage set out in your Itinerary /Receipt
• Australian laws including the Civil Aviation (Carrier’s Liability) Act 1959 (Cth) and any international Conventions that may apply to the journey in question
• any specific directions given to a Passenger in writing, or orally by Par Avion Airlines staff, and
• the fare rules and conditions, as applicable.

In the event of any inconsistency between the Conditions of Carriage and the Key Conditions, the Conditions or Carriage will prevail.

2.4 Read Down

If any of these Conditions of Carriage is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it will be read down to the extent necessary to ensure that it is not invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but if that is not possible, it will be severed from the Conditions of Carriage and the other conditions will remain valid.

2.5 Variation and Waiver

No employee or other person is authorised to vary any of these Conditions of Carriage. However, this does not affect Par Avion Airlines’s right to waive any fare rule or amount payable. A waiver on one occasion does not constitute a waiver on any other occasion.

2.6 Conditions prevail

If any of these Conditions of Carriage is inconsistent with any special procedures we may have, these Conditions of Carriage will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

2.7 Overriding law

These Conditions of Carriage are applicable unless they are inconsistent with any Tariffs or applicable laws which apply to your carriage with us, in which event the Tariffs or laws will apply.

2.8 Charter operations

If carriage is performed by Par Avion Airlines under a charter agreement (hire arrangement), these Conditions of Carriage apply unless Passengers are advised otherwise.

2.9 Other forms of transportation

If Par Avion Airlines transports you or arranges to transport you by means other than aircraft, eg. by bus, train or boat, there may be additional or different conditions of carriage applicable to that travel. Where these include limitations of liability that are lower than the limitations of liability in these conditions of carriage, the lower limitation will apply to your non-aircraft travel.

3. GENERAL

3.1 Preparing to travel

You alone are responsible for making all necessary arrangements for your travel and ensuring that you comply with all laws, regulations and orders of the places you will travel to. If we provide assistance for any of the above aspects of your travel, we do not release you from your responsibility in respect of these matters.

3.2 Travel Insurance

Because travel involves many risks, and our liability to you is limited, it is recommended that you purchase travel insurance, which can cover things like:

• changes in travel plans and travel cancellation
• medical and hospital expenses
• personal injury and death
• delayed, damaged or lost Baggage and other items
• missed flight connections and additional expenses.

3.3 Health

(a) We may refuse to carry you if we, acting reasonably, are not completely satisfied that it is safe for you to fly. Before you make a Booking you should tell us if you suffer from any illness, disease or other condition which may make it unsafe for you or other Passengers if you fly.

(b) Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

Some studies have concluded that prolonged immobility may be a risk factor in the formation of blood clots in the legs (DVT – Deep Vein Thrombosis). If you feel you may be at risk from DVT or other health problems Par Avion Airlines recommends you consult with your doctor before travel.

(c) Pregnancy

If you are pregnant and your travel is Domestic Carriage::

• you have a normal pregnancy, no medical clearance is required.
• you have a complicated pregnancy, medical clearance is required.
• you have an uncomplicated multiple pregnancy, medical clearance is not required provided travel is completed by the end of the 36 th week of pregnancy. There must be 28 Days between the date travel is completed and the date on which you are due to give birth. You must carry a letter from a registered/licensed medical practitioner stating that your pregnancy is progressing normally and specifying the date on which you expect to give birth.
• we do not represent that travel is safe for you at any particular point during your pregnancy. You must seek advice from your own medical practitioner. The periods referred to are only our minimum requirements.

3.4 Privacy

Para Avion Airlines is legally bound by, and adheres to the Australian Privacy Principles (APP’s) in complying with the provisions of the Privacy Act 1988 in relation to the collection, use, disclosure and storage of personal information.

Par Avion Airlines collects information about you to provide products and services to you, process your travel arrangements and for administrative and legal purposes. If the information is not provided, Par Avion Airlines may not be able to provide the service requested. Par Avion Airlines may retain and may disclose your personal information to its related companies, other carriers, travel service providers, organisations which provide services to Par Avion Airlines, your employer if you are travelling on a Booking purchased by your employer, various law enforcement agencies and governments around the world for security, customs, emergency and immigration purposes. You may be required by government regulations to provide specific personal data or information to us, including information to enable us to notify your family members in the event of an emergency.

4. BOOKINGS

4.1 When is a Booking made?

A Booking for a flight is made when recorded as accepted and confirmed by Par Avion Airlines or an Authorised Agent. If you ask, we or our Authorised Agent will give you written confirmation of your Booking.

4.2 Booking essential

Your Booking is the main evidence of our contract with you, so even though you have a reservation for a flight, you will not be able to board that flight without first checking-in and presenting photo identification (eg. passport or driver’s licence).

4.3 Reconfirmation

Reconfirmation is not required for Par Avion Airlines flights. You should check the reconfirmation requirements with other carriers. If you fail to reconfirm when reconfirmation is required, the carrier may decide to cancel your reservation. Par Avion Airlines does not provide for connecting flights.

4.4 Some Bookings cannot be changed

Some fare types may be restricted so that you:

• cannot change or cancel any Booking, or
• may request to change a Booking only to a limited extent, or
• may request to change a Booking only by paying any applicable additional service fee or change fee
• Only Par Avion Airlines or its authorised agent may change or cancel a Booking.

4.5 Limited special assistance

Generally we will not allow a person to travel without an Accompanying Passenger unless the person can travel independently, meaning that they can travel safely without assistance, supervision or both. We do not have the systems, staff or facilities required to assume responsibility for such assistance and supervision. Children requiring supervision will not be regarded as able to travel independently on the basis that they may cause a disruption or endanger themselves or others if travelling unaccompanied.

However, we do provide limited special assistance services to accommodate customers who need to travel with a guide dog, hearing or mobility dog, customers who require a wheelchair (see 5.3) and customers who require two seats for themselves. If you need to use these special services you must make arrangements through Par Avion Airlines Reservations.

Accompanying Passenger means a paying passenger who, in our reasonable opinion, can travel independently and is able to and will provide the appropriate assistance, supervision, or both, as is required for the particular customer they are accompanying. As a guide, Par Avion Airlines generally will not consider a passenger to be an appropriate Accompanying Passenger for a child unless the passenger is at least 15 years old.

5. FARES

5.1 What your fare covers

Your fare covers the flight(s) for you and your Baggage Allowance:

• from the airport at the place of departure specified in your Booking
• to the airport at the place of destination specified in your Booking.

5.2 What your fare does not cover

Your fare does not include ground transport between one airport and another or between the airport and any other place.

5.3 Carriage of Wheelchairs and Guide Dogs

Your fare also covers carriage of your registered guide dog, hearing or mobility dog if you require one to travel. The dog must be seated at your feet during the flight if possible. You must notify us of the requirement for your dog to travel when you make your Booking as the number of dogs that can be carried per flight is limited and we may need to suggest alternative dates or times of travel if your dog cannot be accommodated on your selected flight.

In the case of guide, hearing and mobility dogs, you must confirm that the dog is properly registered at the time of Booking and you must provide a recognised ID card or documentation for the dog at the time of checking in.

Your wheelchair, should you require one, may be carried in the hold at no extra charge. We can accommodate up to two wheelchair passengers on each flight, subject to the limitations of the aircraft.

Carriage of guide, hearing or mobility dogs and wheelchairs shall be subject to such other requirements as we may implement from time to time.
