Boarding - 30 Minute Rule

To accommodate everyone wishing to travel on your flight, you must be checked-in and available to board at the designated boarding gate at least 30 minutes before posted departure. Failure to do so may cause the cancellation of reserved seats and cancellation of the entire reservation.

Notice - Overbooking of Flights

Airline flights may be overbooked, and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available on a flight for which a person has a confirmed reservation. If the flight is overbooked, no one will be denied a seat until airline personnel first ask for volunteers willing to give up their reservation in exchange for a payment of the airline's choosing. If there are not enough volunteers, the airline will deny boarding to other persons in accordance with its particular boarding priority. With few exceptions, persons denied boarding involuntarily is entitled to compensation. The complete rules for the payment of compensation and each airline's boarding priorities are available at all airport ticket counters and boarding locations.

Passengers embarkig upon a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of departure are advised that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to their entire journey, including the portion entirely within the countries of departure and destinaton. The Convention governs and, in most cases, limits the libility of carriers to passengers for death or personal injury to approximately $10,000. additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company.
