Provisions for capacity limitations, general rules which are not applicable and miscellaneous information which is not category specific will also appear here. This category will appear with every rule with at least the rule title.
Eligibility
Eligibility (category 1)
This category is used to define the identification
requirements and age range for a particular passenger type,

subject to blackout dates.
Surcharges (category 12)
This category defines the conditions under which surcharges
are applicable and the corresponding charge. The assumption

- Federal law preempts state and local laws, regulations, and other provisions, including common law duties associated with your contract with Hawaiian, related to rates (fares), routes, or services of an air carrier. To the extent a state or political subdivision thereof makes the incorporation of common law duties in contracts optional, HA and the passenger agrees that this contract does not incorporate any common law duties.
-
Gratuitous Carriage
With respect to gratuitous carriage, carrier reserves the right to exclude the application of all or any part of this tariff. -
Change Without Notice
Except as may be required by applicable laws, government regulations, orders and requirements, carrier's rules, regulations and conditions of carriage are subject to change without notice; provided, that no such change shall apply to a contract of carriage after the carriage has commenced. -
Effective Rules, Fares and Charges
All carriage of passengers and/or baggage shall be subject to the carrier's rules, regulations, and tariffs in effect on the date of commencement of carriage covered by the first flight coupon of the ticket.- When the fares or charges collected are not the applicable fares or charges, the difference will be refunded to or collected from the passenger as may be appropriate.

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 qualify is added between the points
shown on the ticket, the amount of the difference in
fares will be provided only in the form of a travel
credit, provided:
- There is no change in origin, destination, stopover points, flights, dates shown on the original ticket, or on any ticket issued in exchange for the original ticket.
- Subsequent to the decrease in fares or charges or the addition of a new fare, all conditions of the decrease fares or charges of the new fare are met, including booking code and advance reservations and ticketing requirements.
- This rule will only apply to tickets purchased through Hawaiian Airlines Reservations Department or sold on Hawaiian Airlines Web Site HawaiianAir.com, and does not apply to fares purchased as part of travel packages.

This rule supersedes any conflicting provision contained in the contract of carriage.
- Overriding law (applicable for transportation to, from, or via a point(s) outside the U.S.A.) insofar as any provision contained or referred to in the ticket or in this tariff may be contrary to mandatory law, government regulations, orders, or requirements, such provision shall remain applicable to the extent that it is not over-ridden thereby. The invalidity of any provision shall not affect any other part.
-
Misfiled Fares
HA, as a policy, does not file nor intend to offer/file tickets priced substantially lower than the intended ticket price for the class of service being sold. Essentially, such fares do not make any economic sense. HA has introduced warning mechanisms to try to prevent such occurrences; however, occasionally fares such as these are mistakenly offered or filed. Agents/customers should be aware that in these circumstances they are not allowed to ticket at these fares and HA will not honor such fares. In the event a ticket is inadvertently sold on a mistakenly offered or filed fare, HA may choose to void such ticket in its sole discretion. - HA reserves the right to charge the passenger for reimbursement of repair and/or cleaning costs incurred as a result of actions by that passenger during transport on HA.

- HA welcomes service animals trained to assist an individual with a disability (the “Owner Passenger”) who requires the animal to assist him or her in the performance of necessary activities (“Trained Service Animals”). HA also welcomes animals that are used for emotional support or psychiatric service (“Support Animals”). HA understands that these Trained Service Animals and Support Animals (together, “Service/Support Animals”) provide valuable services to passengers. For the safety and security of all, including the animals, the passengers they serve, other passengers and crew, and for necessary operational needs, this rule sets out conditions, restrictions and requirements. HA strongly recommends that you read and understand the provisions in this rule before traveling with a Service/Support Animal so that you and your Service/Support Animals are best prepared for your journey.
- HA does not charge to transport Service/Support Animals. But HA reserves the right to charge the passenger for reimbursement of repair and/or cleaning costs beyond normal wear and tear associated with the transport of the animal.
- Service/Support Animals are welcome to accompany the passenger into the cabin, if they meet the conditions of acceptance noted below.
- HA does not accept any animals as carry-on or checked baggage for import or export.
- Conditions of Acceptance.
- HA accepts Trained Service Animals in the cabin based on the credible verbal assurance from the Owner Passenger that the animal is a trained service animal, or the presentation of a harness, tags, identification cards, or other written documentation.
- HA reserves the right to ask the passenger what type of tasks and/or functions the Trained Service Animal performs; what the Trained Service Animal has been trained to do.
- Requesting Documentation For Trained Service Animals. For Trained Service Animals, if the verbal assurance is not credible, HA reserves the right to require documentation that substantiates the medical need for the animal to accompany the passenger as a condition for allowing the animal to travel as a Trained Service Animal in the cabin.
- Requesting Documentation for Support Animals. A passenger requesting to travel with a Support Animal that is used for emotional support or psychiatric service including, but not limited to, alerting the passenger to take medication or retrieving medication for a psychiatric condition, will be required to provide to HA current documentation (i.e., not older than one (1) year from the date of the scheduled initial flight) on the letterhead of a licensed mental health professional or medical doctor who is treating the person for the condition, stating the following:
- the passenger has a mental or emotional disability recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition (DSMIV);
- the passenger needs the emotional support or psychiatric service animal as an accommodation for air travel and/or for activity at the passenger’s destination;
- the individual providing the assessment is a licensed mental health professional and the passenger is under his or her professional care; and
- the date and type of the mental health professional’s license and the state or other jurisdiction in which it was issued.
- HA reserves the right to authenticate any documentation presented.
- Additional Documentation on International Flights. On a flight of 8 hours or more, HA reserves the right to require the passenger using a Service/Support Animal to provide documentation that the animal will not need to relieve itself on the flight or that the animal can relieve itself in a way that does not create a health or sanitation issue on the flight.
- 72 Hour Notice and Early Check-In.
- To Travel with a Service/Support Animal in the cabin, Hawaiian Airlines Call Center must be notified about the Service/Support Animal at least 72 hours in advance. All passengers traveling with Service/Support Animals shall check in one hour before the check-in time for the general public.
- If the passenger has complied with early notification and early check-in requirements set forth above, the passenger should be assigned a seat that allows a Service/Support Animal on the floor in front of the seat. If the passenger does not comply with early notification and check-in, it may be possible that all seats that can accommodate animals are not available and the passenger and Service/Support Animal would not be able to fly on that flight.
- Behavior. HA reserves the right to deny transport of any animals in the cabin that do not behave properly in public. An animal may not engage in disruptive behavior such as running freely around an aircraft or airport, growling repeatedly at other people, biting or jumping on people (other than on the Owner Passenger as trained for a health alert), or urinating or defecating in undesignated areas like the gate, the airport or the cabin. An animal that engages in disruptive behavior has not been successfully trained to function as a Trained Service Animal or Support Animal in public settings. An animal that engages in disruptive behavior will not be considered a Service/Support Animal, even if the animal performs an assistive function for a passenger with a disability or is necessary for a passenger’s emotional well-being. The animal will not be permitted in the cabin and will not be transported free of charge.
- Direct Threat/Disruption. HA reserves the right to deny boarding or remove a Service/Support Animal from a flight if the animal poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, or poses a significant disruption of cabin services. Direct threat includes an assessment at the discretion of HA personnel of the likely probability of harm, the ability to mitigate the harm and the severity of the remaining risk. A threat that HA personnel determines can be safely and adequately mitigated without causing a significant cabin disruption or flight delay would not be considered a direct threat. Direct threats or significant disruptions do not include the mere annoyance, offense or inconvenience of other passengers or crew.
- Seating. Service/Support Animals in cabin may accompany the passenger with the disability at any seat in which the passenger sits, unless the Service/Support Animal obstructs an aisle or other area that must remain unobstructed in order to facilitate an emergency evacuation. Service/Support Animals are not permitted on the seats or in emergency exit rows.
- Large, Heavy Animals. If the animal is too large to fit safely on the floor space in front of the passenger, HA will try to accommodate the passenger and the Service/Support Animal by moving them to empty adjacent seats in the same cabin service, if such accommodation (i) is available, (ii) is a safe alternative that does not obstruct emergency evacuation, and (iii) does not cause a significant cabin disruption or delay in flight. If there are no adequate alternatives in the same cabin service as the original seat on the same flight or subsequent flights that can safely accommodate the Service/Support Animal’s size or weight, the Service/Support Animal will not be permitted in the cabin and may be checked through baggage or cargo.
- Government Regulations at Origin, Stopover or Destination. Regulations at the passenger’s origin or final or intermediate destination(s) apply and may impose further requirements or restrictions including, but not limited to, micro-chipping or vaccination restrictions, evidence of necessary entry permits or health certificates, limitations on the designation of service animals to dogs only, or the non-recognition of the designation of emotional support or psychiatric service animals. If an animal is not in compliance with or is prohibited by regulations, it may be denied boarding. If an animal is not permitted to enter the port of entry of the passenger’s destination due to laws or regulations governing that jurisdiction and HA transports or otherwise assists the animal to another acceptable destination, the passenger will indemnify HA for all losses including, but not limited to, costs and expenses.

- Unusual Animals. HA does not accept as carry-on or checked baggage under any circumstances certain unusual Service/Support Animals. For information on animals that are prohibited, see Rule 4 Restricted Items of this tariff.
- The passenger assumes full responsibility for the safety, well-being and conduct of his or her Service/Support Animals, including, but not limited to, the interaction of the animal with other passengers who may come into contact with the animal while onboard the aircraft. The passenger will indemnify HA for any losses associated with his or her Service/Support Animal other than repair and cleaning costs for normal wear and tear. Additionally, the passenger is responsible for compliance with all governmental requirements, regulations, or restrictions, including obtaining entry permits and required health certificates of the country, state or territory from and/or to which the animal is being transported and producing such documentation upon demand.
- If a passenger traveling with a Service/Support Animal that cannot fit in front of one (1) seat would like to be sure to have additional space on a specific flight, the passenger, upon advance arrangement, may purchase a second adjacent seat, subject to availability and payment of the applicable published adult fare as permitted under Rule 550.

Rule 87: Denied Boarding Compensation
- Definitions
- Airport means the airport at which the direct or connecting flight, on which the passenger holds confirmed reserved space, is planned to arrive or some other airport serving the same metropolitan area, provided that transportation to the other airport is accepted (i.e., used) by the passenger.
- Alternate transportation means air transportation with a confirmed reservation at no additional charge, operated by a carrier as defined below, or other transportation accepted and used by the passenger in the case of denied boarding.
- Carrier means: (1) a direct air carrier, except a helicopter operator, holding a certificate issued by the Department of Transportation pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41102 or that has been found fit to conduct commuter operations under 49 U.S.C. 41738, or an exemption from 49 U.S.C. 41102, authorizing the scheduled transportation of persons; or (2) a foreign air carrier holding a permit issued by the Department pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41302, or an exemption from that provision, authorizing the scheduled foreign air transportation of persons.

- Comparable air transportation means transportation provided by air carriers or foreign air carriers holding certificates of public convenience and necessity, or foreign permits.
- Confirmed reserved space means space on a specific date and on a specific flight and class of service of a carrier which has been requested by a passenger, including a passenger with a “zero fare ticket,” and which the carrier or its agent has verified, by appropriate notation on the ticket or in any other manner provided therefore by the carrier, as being reserved for the accommodation of the passenger.

A zero fare ticket does not include free or reduced rate air transportation provided to airline employees and guests.
- Request for Volunteers
- The carrier will request passengers who are willing to do so, to voluntarily relinquish their confirmed reserved space in exchange for compensation in an amount determined by the carrier. If a passenger is asked to volunteer, the carrier will not later deny boarding to that passenger involuntarily unless that passenger was informed at the time he was asked to volunteer (i) that there was a possibility of being denied boarding involuntarily and (ii) of the amount of compensation to which he would have been entitled in the event of being denied boarding involuntarily. The request for volunteers and the selection of such persons to be denied space will be in a manner determined solely by the carrier.
NOTE: In exchange for voluntarily relinquishing confirmed space and subject to the passenger's approval, the carrier will compensate the passenger with travel credit valid for the purchase of transportation instead of monetary compensation. The travel credit will be valid for travel on HA within 365 days from the date of issue and will apply only to online transportation via HA, may not be endorsed to or accepted by any other carrier, and will not be refundable to, saleable by, transferable by, or assignable by the passenger.

The request for volunteers and the selection of such persons to be denied space will be in a manner determined solely by the carrier.
- Boarding Priorities
- If a flight is oversold (more passengers hold confirmed reservations than there are seats available), no one may be denied boarding against his/her will until airline personnel first ask for volunteers who will give up their reservations willingly, in exchange for compensation of the airline's choosing. If there are not enough volunteers, other passengers may be denied boarding involuntarily in accordance with the boarding priority of Hawaiian Airlines:
- Typically all passengers holding seat assignments will be boarded; passengers who are not holding seat assignments will be boarded in the order of the time they check-in. Hawaiian Airlines may also consider other factors including a passenger's disability or status as an unaccompanied minor, a passenger's frequent flyer status, or the fare paid by a passenger.
- Transportation for Passengers Denied Boarding
When the carrier is unable to provide previously confirmed space, the carrier causing the passenger to be delayed will provide transportation to persons who have been denied boarding, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, in accordance with the provisions below.- The carrier will transport the passenger without stopover on its next flight on which space is available at no additional cost to the passenger, regardless of class of service.
- If the carrier causing such delay is unable to provide onward transportation acceptable to the passenger, any other carrier or combination of carriers, at the request of the passenger, will transport the passenger without stopover on its (their) next flight(s) in the same class of service as the passenger's original outbound flight; or if space is available on a flight(s) of a different class of service acceptable to the passenger, such flight(s) will be used without stopover at no additional cost to the passenger only if it (they) will provide an earlier arrival at the passenger's destination, next stopover point, or transfer point.
- Compensation for Involuntary Denied Boarding
In addition to providing transportation as described in paragraph D) above, when the passenger who is delayed has not voluntarily relinquished confirmed reserved space in accordance with provisions in paragraph B) above, the carrier causing the delay will compensate the delayed passenger for the carrier's failure to provide confirmed space. Compensation will be made in accordance with the provisions below.- Conditions for Payment

- The flight for which the passenger holds confirmed reserved space must be unable to accommodate the passenger and departs without the passenger.
EXCEPTION 1: The passenger will not be eligible for compensation if the flight on which he/she holds confirmed reserved space is unable to accommodate him/her because of government requisition of space or substitution of equipment of lesser capacity when required by operational or safety reasons.
EXCEPTION 2: The passenger will not be eligible for compensation if his/her reservation has been cancelled according to Rule 60 (E)—Airport Check-In Time Limits.
EXCEPTION 3: The passenger will not be eligible for compensation when he/she is accommodated on comparable air transportation, or other transportation scheduled to arrive at the passenger’s next stopover or, if none, initial destination within one (1) hour after the scheduled arrival time of the passenger's original flight or flights.
EXCEPTION 4: The passenger is offered accommodations or is seated in a section of the aircraft other than that specified on the ticket at no extra charge, except that a passenger seated in a section for which a lower fare is charged shall be entitled to an appropriate refund.
NOTE: Failure to comply with rules concerning check-in time limits set forth in Rule 60 of this tariff will result in the cancellation of the passenger's reservation and will render him/her ineligible for denied boarding compensation.
- Amount of Compensation
Passengers traveling from the United States to a foreign point who are denied boarding involuntarily from an oversold flight originating at a U.S. airport are entitled to: (1) No compensation if the carrier offers alternate transportation that is planned to arrive at the passenger’s destination or first stopover (referred to as “one-way fare” in the following Table 245.1) not later than one hour after the planned arrival time of the passenger’s original flight; (2) 200% of the fare to the passenger’s destination or first stopover, with a maximum of $675, if the carrier offers alternate transportation that is planned to arrive at the passenger’s destination or first stopover more than one hour but less than four hours after the planned arrival time of the passenger’s original flight; and (3) 400% of the fare to the passenger’s destination or first stopover, with a maximum of $1,350, if the carrier does not offer alternate transportation that is planned to arrive at the airport of the passenger’s destination or first stopover less than four hours after the planned arrival time of the passenger’s original flight.

In addition to the denied boarding compensation specified in this rule, HA shall refund all unused ancillary fees for optional services paid by a passenger who is voluntarily or involuntarily denied boarding. The carrier is not required to refund the ancillary fees for services that are provided as part of the passenger's alternate transportation.
NOTE: At the passenger's option, the carrier may compensate the passenger with a travel credit valid for transportation instead of monetary compensation. The offer of free transport would be equal to or greater than the monetary compensation due. The Travel Credit is nontransferable, has no refund value, and may be voluntarily rerouted and reissued by the issuing carrier only. - Time of Offer of Compensation
The offer of compensation will be made by the carrier on the day and at the place where the failure to provide confirmed reserved space occurs, and, accepted by the passenger. Provided, however, that when the carrier arranges, for the passenger's convenience, alternate means of transportation that departs before the time the offer can be made to the passenger, the offer will be made by mail or other means within 24 hours after the time the failure occurs.

-
Excess Value Charges
Under the baggage liability limits of the Montreal Convention, the liability of the Carrier for each passenger for the destruction, loss, damage, or delay of checked baggage is limited to 1,131 Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) unless the passenger at the time the checked baggage is handed to the Carrier, declares a value in excess of 1,131 SDRs per passenger for the checked baggage.- When such declaration is made, a charge of such
excess value will be assessed by each carrier
participating in the carriage at the following rates:
Convention Charge Additional Amount of Liability Montreal US$1.00 per $100.00 Or Fraction Thereof for a maximum of 1131 SDRs - If the passenger has paid the excess value charge, the carrier will be liable for destruction, loss, damage or delay of such checked baggage in an amount not exceeding the declared amount, unless the carrier proves that the declared amount is greater than the passenger’s actual interest in delivery at the destination. The declared amount, and the amount of the carrier’s liability, shall not exceed the total amount of declaration permissible under the carrier’s regulations, inclusive of the limitation of paragraph 1.a hereof. Nevertheless, the carrier may impose charges for pieces of baggage in excess of any free allowance the carrier may provide.
- This rule shall not entitle the passenger to declare such excess value for baggage in connection with carriage over carrier's route in relation to which the above rule does not permit such declarations, unless the carriage over such route forms a part of through carriage including other route in relation to which such declarations are permitted.
- When such declaration is made, a charge of such
excess value will be assessed by each carrier
participating in the carriage at the following rates:
-
Valuation Limit of Baggage
For travel wholly within the United States, refer to Rule 230 of the domestic Contract of Carriage.
-
Collection of Excess Value Charges
Excess value charges will be payable at the point of origin for the entire journey to final destination; provided, that, if at a stopover en route, a passenger declares a higher excess value than that originally declared, additional value charges for the increased value from the stopover at which the higher excess value was declared to final destination will be payable.
EXCEPTION: Excess value charges will be payable only to the point to which the baggage is checked or to the point of transfer to another carrier if such point precedes the point to which baggage is checked. -
Excess Value Charges on Re-routings or
Cancellations
When a passenger is rerouted or his carriage cancelled, the provisions which govern with respect to the payment of additional fares or the refunding of fares shall likewise govern the payment of excess value charges. No refund of excess value charges will be made when a portion of the carriage has been completed.
Rule 130: Fares
-
General
Fares apply only for carriage from the airport at the point of origin to the airport at point of destination and do not include ground transfer service between airports or between airports and city centers except where Rule 30 specifically provides that such ground transfer service will be furnished without additional charge. -
Applicable Fares
- Except as provided in (C) (1) below, where a fare is
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 the same routing. For
the purpose of this Rule, a published fare includes a fare
obtained by combining a published arbitrary and a published
international fare. Where no through one-factor fare is
published from point of origin to point of destination via
the route of movement for the class of service and the type
of aircraft used, the applicable fare for such
transportation shall be constructed as provided
below:
One Class of Service: Where the journey from point of origin to point of destination is in one class of service, the applicable fare shall be the lowest combination of fares via the route of movement applicable to the transportation used but in no event shall such constructed fare exceed the through one-way fare applicable to or from a more distant point via the same routing. - All published fares governed by this tariff and all fares constructed in accordance with this tariff are applicable only when in compliance with the provisions governing travel via a higher-rated intermediate point (Paragraph (C) (3)). Mileage routings (see Maximum Permitted Mileage Tariff No. MPM-1, C.A.B. No. 424, NTA (A) No. 239) may be applied to any published or constructed fare; However, if a diagrammatic or linear routing is specified in connection with a fare, such routing must be observed for that portion of the transportation covered by that fare.
- Except as provided in (C) (1) below, where a fare is
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 the same routing. For
the purpose of this Rule, a published fare includes a fare
obtained by combining a published arbitrary and a published
international fare. Where no through one-factor fare is
published from point of origin to point of destination via
the route of movement for the class of service and the type
of aircraft used, the applicable fare for such
transportation shall be constructed as provided
below:
-
Construction of Fares
- Combining Domestic U.S. Normal Fares
- Domestic U.S. Normal Fares
A normal fare applicable within the U.S.A. may be combined end on end with an International fare to construct a through fare, which is less than the published International through fare from point of origin to point of destination, provided travel is via the fare construction points. - Domestic U.S. Special Fares
- A special fare applicable within the U.S.A. may
be combined with an International fare to construct
a through fare, which is less than the published
fare from point of origin to point of destination,
provided that the passenger complies with all
conditions (E.G., Period of validity,
Minimum/Maximum stay, Advance Purchase
Requirements, Group size, ETC.) of the special
fare.
EXCEPTION: Any minimum tour price required by the special fare within the U.S.A. will not be applicable when that fare is combined with an International Inclusive tour fare having a minimum tour price of the same or a higher amount. - Passengers traveling under a fare constructed in (I) above may be routed via any gateway city regardless of the fare construction point(s).
- A special fare applicable within the U.S.A. may
be combined with an International fare to construct
a through fare, which is less than the published
fare from point of origin to point of destination,
provided that the passenger complies with all
conditions (E.G., Period of validity,
Minimum/Maximum stay, Advance Purchase
Requirements, Group size, ETC.) of the special
fare.
- Domestic U.S. Normal Fares
- Combining Arbitraries with International Fares
When a through fare is not published via a desired routing between a point in Canada or the U.S.A. and a point in area 2 or 3, the fare for such transportation will be constructed by combining the carrier's published arbitrary and published International fare for the fare class applicable to the transportation. Passenger may be routed via any gateway city regardless of the fare construction points(s). - Travel Via A Higher-Rated Intermediate Point
- Except where specified, no fare governed by this
tariff is applicable for travel via a higher-rated
intermediate point on an itinerary. An intermediate
point on an itinerary is a higher-rated point when the
normal fare between such intermediate point and:
- The point of origin of the itinerary;
- The point of destination of the itinerary; or
- Another intermediate point of the itinerary is higher than the normal fare between the points of origin and destination of the itinerary.
- Except as provided in (c), (d), (e) and (f) below,
when travel is via a higher-rated intermediate point,
the applicable fare for the itinerary will be the
highest of the fares applicable between such
intermediate point and:
- The point of origin of the itinerary;
- The point of destination of the itinerary; or
- Another intermediate point of the itinerary.
- For Travel to a point in the U.S.A. which commences and is paid for in the United Kingdom or Ireland and which is via a point in Europe (other than in the United Kingdom or Ireland), the provisions of paragraph (c) above will not apply. The fare for such travel will be the combination of the applicable fare between the point in the United Kingdom or Ireland and the point in Europe and the fare between the point in Europe and the point in the United States.
- When a passenger purchases a one-way ticket for transportation via a higher-rated intermediate point, the fare for such transportation will be constructed by calculating the round trip fare for transportation via the higher-rated intermediate point and subtracting there from the one-way fare for direct (not involving a higher-rated intermediate point) transportation between the point involved.
- For travel between a point in the U.S.A. (other
than a point in California, Oregon or Washington) and a
point in area 2 or 3, which is via a point in
California, Oregon or Washington, the provisions of
paragraph (c) will not apply. The fare for such travel
will be the lowest fare constructed by combining:
- The applicable fare between the point of origin
or destination in the U.S.A. and Los Angeles,
Portland, Ore., Sacramento, San Diego, San
Francisco or Seattle; and
- The applicable fare between those points and the point of origin or destination in area 2 or 3.
- The applicable fare between the point of origin
or destination in the U.S.A. and Los Angeles,
Portland, Ore., Sacramento, San Diego, San
Francisco or Seattle; and
- For travel between a point in the U.S.A. and a point in Italy when travel is via the higher-rated intermediate point of Rome, the fare for such travel will be the fare applicable between the point of origin and the point of destination. The higher fare shall be assessed only if the passenger makes a stopover at Rome for which a higher fare is published.
- Except where specified, no fare governed by this
tariff is applicable for travel via a higher-rated
intermediate point on an itinerary. An intermediate
point on an itinerary is a higher-rated point when the
normal fare between such intermediate point and:
- Round Trip Fares
- When a round trip ticket is purchased prior to commencement of carriage, the fare for such trip will be the round trip fare published for the desired routing and the class of service used. If no round trip fare is published, the applicable fare will be the sum of the one-way fares published for the segments of the desired routing and for the class of service used.
- When transportation is partially via fares governed
by this tariff and partially via fares published in
other tariffs, 50 percent of a round trip fare governed
by this tariff may be combined with 50 percent of a
round trip fare published in other tariffs to construct
a through round trip or circle trip fare provided
that:
- Fares which, by their terms, are not combinable with other fares, shall not be used in the construction of round trip fares; and
- The most restrictive provisions applicable to any fare used in the construction will apply to the entire trip.
- Circle Trip Fares
-
- When a circle trip ticket is purchased prior to commencement of carriage, the fare for such trip will be the sum of 50 percent of the applicable round trip fares for the class of service to be used for the respective sections of the itinerary, constructed from point of origin via the route of travel to point of destination, that produces the lowest fare for the circle trip for the call of service used an/or;
- When Transportation is partially via fares
governed by this tariff and partially via fares
published in other tariffs, 50 percent of a round
trip fare published in other tariffs to construct a
through round trip or circle trip fare provided
that:
(aa) Fares which, by their terms, are not combinable with other fares, shall not be used in the construction of circle trip fares; and
(bb) The most restrictive provisions applicable to any fare used in the construction will apply to the entire trip.
This provision will not apply when any part of the circle trip is via the services of a nonscheduled carrier or on a charter or military flight. - If a circle trip so constructed is less than the highest direct route round trip fare applicable via the same class of service between any two points on the circle trip route, such highest direct round trip fare shall apply.
- Round trip fares may only be use to construct a circle trip fare in accordance with the provisions governing travel via a higher-rated intermediate point in paragraph (3) above.
- Partly via air and partly via sea when tickets are
purchased prior to commencement of carriage for a
circle trip for combined air and sea travel, the air
fare for each one-way section of the air journey will
be fifty percent (50 percent) of the all year round
trip fare published in tariffs governed by this tariff
and applicable between the points and via the class of
service use. A break in the circle trip is permitted to
allow passengers to make their own way by any means of
transportation between airports and adjacent
seaports.
- When the point of departure and final destination are the same, the sum of 50 percent of the applicable round trip fare from the point of departure to each outer point of the open jaw, and
- Where the points of departure and final destination are not the same, the sum of 50 percent of the applicable round trip fare from the point of departure to the outer point of the outward section plus 50 percent of the round trip fare from the point of destination to the outer point of the inbound section.

- Stopover provisions for special fares (applicable to all fares for which stopovers other than at the point of turnaround are prohibited or restricted in number) when travel at a through fare is interrupted by surface travel, either at intermediate points or at the point of turnaround, the points of disembarkation and reembarkation of the interrupted portion of travel will be considered together as on stopover or the one point of turnaround.
- Only one stopover is permitted at any single point on the
itinerary of a journey traveled at a one way or half a round
trip fare.
- The origin and destination or point of turnaround, as the case may be, may not be included in such itinerary more than once, regardless as to whether or not a stopover is made at such point.
- If travel involves a side trip to/from or via the country of origin, for which a separate fare is assessed, such side trip must be ticketed separately
