   CHAPTER II--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

                         (AVIATION PROCEEDINGS)

 

PART 253_NOTICE OF TERMS OF CONTRACT OF CARRIAGE--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 253.8  Qualifications to notice requirements.



    (a) If notice is not provided in accordance with Sec. 253.5 at a 

ticket sales location outside of the United States that is not a U.S. 

air carrier ticket office, the price paid for the portion of such ticket 

that is for interstate and overseas air transportation shall be 

refundable without penalty if the passenger refuses transportation by 

the carrier. Each air carrier shall ensure that passengers who have 

bought tickets at those locations without the notice required in Sec. 

253.5 are given that notice not later than check-in for the travel in 

interstate or overseas air transportation, and that conspicuous notice 

is included on or with the ticket stating that the price for that travel 

is refundable without penalty.

    (b) An air taxi operator (including a commuter air carrier) not 

operating under subpart I of part 298 of this chapter shall not be 

considered to have incorporated terms by reference into its contract of 

carriage merely because a passenger has purchased a flight segment on 

that carrier that appears on ticket stock that contains a statement that 

terms have been incorporated by reference. However, such an air taxi 

operator may not claim the benefit as against the passenger of, and the 

passenger shall not be bound by, any contract term incorporated by 

reference if notice of the term has not been provided to the passenger 

in accordance with this part.
