ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY


Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion entirely within the country of origin or destination. For such passengers on a journey to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, the Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the liability of certain carriers, parties to such special contracts, for death of or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed USD 75,000 per passenger,* and that this liability up to such limit shall not depend on negligence on the part of the Carrier.

For such passengers traveling by a carrier not a party to such special contracts or on a journey not to, from, or having an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, liability of the carrier for death or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to approximately USD 10,000 or USD 20,000. The names of carriers, parties to such special contracts, are available at all ticket offices of such carriers and may be examined on request. Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability under the Warsaw Convention or such special contracts of carriage. For further information please consult your airline or Insurance company representative.

*Note: The limit of liability of USD 75,000 above is inclusive of legal fees and costs except that in case of a claim brought in a state where provision is made for separate award of legal fees and costs, the limit shall be the sum of USD 58,000 exclusive of legal fees and costs. For the carriage wholly performed on Montenegro Airlines, Montenegro Airlines limitation of liability now equals up to SDR 100,000 (Special Drawing Rights as defined by International Monetary Fund). See also Montenegro Airlines General Conditions of Carriage.

 



NOTICE OF BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS


Liability for loss, delay or damage to baggage is limited unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. For most international travel (including domestic portions of international journeys) the liability limit is approximately USD 9,07 per pound (USD 20,00 per 1 kilo) for checked baggage and USD 400 per passenger for unchecked baggage. For travel wholly between US points, Federal rules require any limit on an airline's baggage liability to be at least USD 3,000 per passenger. Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles. Some carriers assume no liability for fragile, valuable or perishable articles. Further information may be obtained from the carrier.

 



NOTICE OF GOVERNMENT IMPOSED TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES


The price of this ticket may include taxes, fees and charges which are imposed on air transportation by government authorities. These taxes and charges, which may represent a significant portion of the cost of air travel, are either included in the fare, or shown separately in the "TAX" box(es) of this ticket. You may also be required to pay taxes, fees and charges not already collected.

 


The following notice does not apply to tickets sold in the United States for transportation originating in the United States.


DENIED BOARDING BY OVERBOOKING


In those countries where Denied Boarding Compensation regulations are in force, carriers operate compensation plans for passengers with confirmed reservations who are denied boarding because of no availability of seats caused by overbooking. Details of these plans are available at the airlines' offices. In order to minimize the effect of "no shows" and to permit seats to be used by passengers who otherwise would not be able to travel on a chosen flight, carriers may overbook flights. Whilst carriers make every effort to provide seats for which confirmed reservations exist, seat availability is not absolutely guaranteed.
