to, from, or within the United States, or, if no ticket is issued, no 
later than the time when the passenger checks in at the airport for the 
first flight in an itinerary that includes such a service, the selling 
carrier or ticket agent shall provide the following written notice:

                   Notice: Change of Aircraft Required

    For at least one of your flights, you must change aircraft en route 
even though your ticket may show only one flight number and have only 
one flight coupon for that flight. Further, in the case of some travel, 
one of your flights may not be identified at the airport by the number 
on your ticket, or it may be identified by other flight numbers in 
addition to the one on your ticket. At your request, the seller of this 
ticket will give you details of your change of aircraft, such as where 
it will occur and what aircraft types are involved.
