PART 258_DISCLOSURE OF CHANGE-OF-GAUGE SERVICES--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 258.5  Notice requirement.



    (a) Notice in schedules. Carriers holding out or operating change-

of-gauge services to, from, or within the United States shall ensure 

that in the written and electronic schedule information they provide to 

the public, to the Official Airline Guide and comparable publications, 

and to computer reservations systems, these services are shown as 

requiring a change of aircraft.

    (b) Oral notice to prospective consumers. In any direct oral 

communication with a consumer in the United States concerning a change-

of-gauge service, any carrier or ticket agent doing business in the 

United States shall tell the consumer before booking scheduled passenger 

air transportation to, from, or within the United States that the 

service requires a change of aircraft en route.

    (c) Written notice. At the time of sale in the United States of 

transportation that includes a change-of-gauge service 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.
