Section IV - Fares and Routings

Rule 150AS - Fares and Routings - General

Where a local or joint fare is specifically published via the desired routing from point of origin to point of destination, such fare is applicable over such route notwithstanding that it is higher or lower than the combination of intermediate fares via such routing.

Fares apply only for transportation in the types of aircraft and their seating configuration as specified in Aircraft Type and Seating Configuration Tariff No. TS-2, NTA(A) No. 111, C.A.B. No. 220, issued by Airline Tariff Publishing Company, Agent, for the classes of service and aircraft stated in connection with fares governed by this tariff.

Unless otherwise provided, flights designated by class(es) of service (for example 'First Class', 'Coach' or by other classes), type of aircraft (jet or propeller) and flight departure or arrival time, such as specified in connection with the application of fares, refer to flights bearing such designations and schedules, flight departures or arrival times as set forth in carriers official general schedule.

Fares and charges shall apply only to air transportation between the airport and/or heliports through which the cities named in connection with such fares and charges are served by the carrier or carriers by whom, or on whose behalf, such fares and charges are published. Ground transportation other than that specified in as CGR Rule 9 will be arranged by the passenger and at his own expense.

Rule 160AS - Statement of Fares and Charges

All fares and charges governed by this tariff are stated as follows:
1. In US dollars for transportation between the USA when travel commences in Canada. Amounts will be converted to Canadian dollars at the applicable banker's rate at time of purchase.
2. In United States dollars for transportation between the U.S.A. and Canada when travel commences in the U.S.A.

Payments for tickets, including Prepaid Ticket Advices (PTA), shall be:
1. In Canadian dollars at the Canadian dollar fare, or its equivalent in US dollars converted to Canadian dollars at the banker's buying rate of exchange, when travel commences in Canada.
2. In United States dollars at the U.S. dollar fare, or its equivalent Canadian dollars converted to U.S. dollars at the banker's buying rate of exchange, when travel commences in the U.S.A.

For the purpose of this rule, the Banker's Buying Rate of Exchange means:
1. In Canada, the unit rate published in the 'Toronto Globe and Mail' Friday edition each week, as the foreign exchange mid market rate in canadian funds. When a national holiday falls on a Friday, the rates quoted on the previous business day will be used. These rates will be applicable from Monday of the following week up to and including the following Sunday.
2. In the U.S.A., the rate published each Tuesday in the "Wall Street Journal" under the heading 'Foreign Exchange'. This rate will be applicable from Wednesday of each week up to and including the Tuesday of the following week. When a national holiday falls on a Monday, foreign exchange rates do not appear in the Tuesday edition of the "Wall Street Journal". In such exceptional cases, the previous week's rates are used through Wednesday instead of Tuesday, and the Wednesday edition of the "Wall Street Journal" will be used for the period Thursday through Tuesday of the following week.
3. In other countries, the rate at which, for the purpose of the transfer of funds through banking channels (i.e. other than transactions in bank notes, travellers checks, and similar banking instruments) a bank will purchase a given amount of foreign currency in exchange for one unit (or units) of the country in which the exchange transaction takes place.

Rule 165AS - Construction of Fares

When the fare between any two points is not specifically published via the desired routing, such fare shall be constructed by combining those fares, applicable via the desired routing from the passenger's point of origin to point of destination, which produce the lowest fare for the class of service used; provided, however, that such fare will not exceed the lowest fare determined in accordance with paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (4) of this rule.

Circle Trip/Round Trip Maximum - If the fare constructed for such routing exceeds the fare for a circle trip or round trip constructed from the same point of origin which would include such routing, the circle trip or round trip fare shall apply.
Interrupted Travel - If a fare constructed for a trip interrupted by travel other than via participating carriers exceeds the applicable through fare for uninterrupted travel via the routing, the applicable through fare shall apply.
Maximum Fare - Travel via the same or different classes of service a combination of fares of the same or different classes of service (see note below) shall not exceed the lowest of the allowing fares or combination of fares via the same carrier(s) between and via the same point:
1. A combination of fares via the class of service used for a portion of the transportation and fares for a higher class of service used for the remainder of the transportation, or
2. A combination of fares via higher class of service, or
3. A through published fare via a higher class of service, or
  EXCEPTION: A through published fare via a higher class of service to or from a more distant point may not be used to construct a fare for an intermediate point(s) if there is a published fare for the same higher class of service to or from such intermediate point(s).
  NOTE: For the purpose of paragraphs (a), (b), and (c), fares are published in the following descending order of classes of service:
  1. F Fare Types - Booking Code: F
  2. Y Fare Types - Booking Code: Y
  3. S Fare Types - Booking Code: S
  4. B Fare Types - Booking Code: B
  5. M Fare Types - Booking Code: M
  6. H Fare Types - Booking Code: H
  7. Q Fare Types - Booking Code: Q
  8. L Fare Types - Booking Code: L
  9. V Fare Types - Booking Code: V
  10. K Fare Types - Booking Code: K
  11. G Fare Types - Booking Code: G
  12. T Fare Types - Booking Code: T
Construction of Fares for Combination of Jet and Propeller Transportation in the Same Class of Service: Where no through one-factor fare is published from point of origin to point of destination via the route or movement for a journey in one class of service, partly on jet aircraft and partly on propeller aircraft, the applicable fare for such transportation shall be constructed as follows: where a through one-factor fare for propeller aircraft is published from point of origin of destination via the route of movement for the class of service used, the applicable fare shall be such through one-factor fare, plus the difference between the fares for jet and propeller aircraft, for the class of service used, between the points where jet aircraft is used. For the purpose of applying paragraph (4) only, the classes of service are:
1. When specifically published via the desired routing, the applicable round-trip fare specifically published by or on behalf of such carrier(s).
2. When not specifically published via the desired routing, the sum of the one-way segments or the sum of the round-trip segment fares if these are published.

Rule 180AS - Stopovers

A stopover, as used herein, will occur when a passenger arrives at an intermediate or junction transfer point and fails to depart from the intermediate or junction transfer point on:
1. The first flight on which space is available; or
2. The flight that will provide for the passenger's earliest arrival at intermediate or junction transfer point(s) or destination point, via the carrier and class of service shown on the passenger's ticket. Provided, however, that in no event will a stopover occur when the passenger departs from the intermediate or junction transfer point on a flight shown in AS's official general schedules and/or serving patterns as departing within four hours after his/her arrival at such point.

Except as otherwise provided, stopovers will be permitted only upon payment of the combination of applicable fares on transportation solely within the Continental U.S. and/or Canada.

Routings

Each fare applies only to transportation via the routings specified in connection with such fares. Any local routing in connection with a fare applicable to transportation over the lines of any one carrier between any two points shall be included in any routing in connection with:
1. Any published joint fare which includes transportation over the lines of such carrier between such points, unless expressly excluded from the joint fare routing or routings, or
2. Any through fare constructed by combining a local fare with a joint fare. In such instances, the local routing of any one carrier shall apply to its entire portion of the through routing, whether or not the passenger travels via the point over which the fare is combined.

When more than one local fare applies for the portion of passage via a carrier participating in a joint fare, the joint fare shall apply only via the routings specified in connection with the lowest local fare.
