Section I - General Rules

Rule 1AS - Application of Tariff

This tariff governs the application of all rules and charges, and incorporates by reference all fare rules Domestic Fare Rules Tariff, Volume 2 (DFR-2). It constitutes the conditions upon which Alaska transports or agrees to transport and is expressly by agreed to by the passenger. It also constitutes the conditions of carriage for all Substitute Service Flights.

International Transportation shall be subject to the rules relating to liability established by, and to all other provisions of, the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Transportation by Air, signed at Warsaw, October 12, 1929, or such convention as amended, whichever may be applicable. Any provisions of these rules inconsistent with any provision of the convention shall be inapplicable to international transportation, except where the rules have been adopted in accordance with the terms of the IATA (International Air Transport Association) Intercarrier Agreement of October 31, 1995.

Changes in Rules, Fares and Charges: Except as otherwise provided within specific fare rules, transportation is subject to the rules, fares and charges in effect on the date on which the ticket is purchased. Rules, fares, and charges quoted for ticketing will be for a minimum of 24 hours when reserved through our reservations office or website. (This 24 hour guarantee does not apply to "web special" fares.)

If an increase in the fares or charges becomes effective before any portion of the ticket has been used, the full amount of the increase or decrease will be collected from or refunded to the passenger.
No increase will be collected in cases where the ticket has been issued before the effective date of a fare change resulting in an increase in the applicable local or joint fare provided:
1. That the ticket was issued and confirmed for a specific flight at the fare in effect on the date of ticket issuance (determined by the validation stamped or imprinted on the ticket).
2. That the originating flight shown on the ticket is not voluntarily changed at the passenger's request subsequent to the effective date of any increase in the applicable fare. These provisions apply whether or not such increase results from a change in fare level, change in conditions governing the fare, or a cancellation of the fare itself.
If, after a ticket has been issued and before any portion thereof has been used, either a decrease in the fares or charges applicable to the transportation shown on the ticket becomes effective or a new fare for which the passenger can now qualify for is added between the points shown on the ticket, the full amount of the difference in fares will be refunded in the form of a nonrefundable discount code credit provided that:
1. There is no change in origin/destination/stopover point(s)/flight(s)/date(s) shown on the original ticket.
2. Subsequent to the decrease in fare(s)/charges(s) or the addition of a new fare, customer must requalify for the current lower fare meeting the advance purchase and other requirements on the date they call for a ticket reissue. Passengers who qualify will receive a nonrefundable electronic discount code credit via email for the difference in fare to be issued in the name of the purchaser of the original ticket.

References to pages, rules, items and notes are continuous and include revisions, supplements thereto and reissues thereof.

AS will be responsible for the furnishing of transportation only over its own lines. When AS undertakes to issue a ticket, check baggage, or make any other arrangements for transportation over the lines of any other carrier, it acts only as agent, and will assume no responsibility for the acts or omissions of the other carrier.

No employee has the authority to alter, modify, or waive any provision of the contract of carriage unless authorized by a corporate officer of that carrier. AS's appointed agents and representatives are only authorized to sell tickets for air transportation pursuant to approved fares, rules and regulations of AS. This rule supersedes any conflicting provision contained elsewhere in this contract of carriage.

Arrival and departure times shown in Alaska's schedules, timetables, or elsewhere are not guaranteed and may be changed without notice.

Fares apply for travel only between the points for which they are published. Tickets may not be issued at fare(s) published to and/or from a more distant point(s) that the points being traveled, even when the issuance of such tickets would produce a lower fare. When through or connecting passengers enplane at an intermediate point between the origin and destination shown on their tickets, AS may require evidence, such as boarding pass, of use of a preceding flight for the portion of the ticket from point of origin to intermediate point. Absent such evidence, AS may require additional fare collection from the passenger for any difference between the fare paid for the ticket from origin to destination and the fare which would apply from the intermediate boarding point to the destination.

However, the carrier agrees in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Warsaw Convention, as amended laws applicable by the Hague Protocol, that, as to all international carriage or transportation subject to the Warsaw Convention:
    1. The carrier shall not invoke the limitation of liability in Article 22(1) of the convention as to any claim for recoverable compensatory damages arising under Article 17 of the Convention.
    2. The carrier shall not avail itself of any defense under Article 20(1) of the Convention with respect to that portion of such claim which does not exceed 100,000 Special Drawing Rights ("SDRs").
    3. Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) hereof, the Carrier reserves all defenses available under the Convention to such claims. With respect to third parties, the carrier reserves all rights of recourse against any other person, including without limitation, rights of contribution and indemnity.
    4. The Carrier agrees that subject to applicable law recoverable compensatory damages for such claims may be determined by reference to the law of the domicile or permanent residence of the passenger.
