1. Making a Booking
1.1
You must be aged 18 years or over to make a booking with us.
1.2
The person making the booking is classed as the “lead name” in any booking which includes more than one person. The lead name must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these Terms and Conditions (together with any policies and regulations), by all persons named on the booking and by their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, the lead name confirms that he or she is so authorised. The lead name will be the primary contact with us and will accept any communications/correspondence from us (or our suppliers) on behalf of the entire party. Please note, these Terms and Conditions constitute our Conditions of Carriage.
1.3
If your booking has been paid for by another person on your behalf, we are entitled to assume that such person is authorised by you to deal with us on your behalf in relation to all matters concerning your booking (including, but not limited to, cancellation or flight changes). If you wish to cancel or restrict that authority, it is your responsibility to notify us in writing.
1.4
At the time of booking, you must provide us with your contact details and you must ensure that all names on the booking are identical to the names in the passports. Failure to do so will result in additional charges being levied Contact details must include a mobile number and a contact number whilst you are abroad so that we or our authorised agent can inform you of any changes, amendments, delays or cancellations which may affect your booking. If you fail to meet this obligation and we cannot reach you, we will not be liable to you or anyone else in your booking for any loss or expense you and they incur because of a lack of information from us about such a change, amendment, delay or cancellation.
1.5
If we believe that your booking is fraudulently funded, or that you or any person acting on your behalf attempts (or has attempted) to deceive or defraud Jet2holidays or Jet2.com at any point (including unfairly claiming compensation or a refund including by way of chargeback), we reserve the right to, among other things, cancel the booking and future bookings without further notice, refuse to accept future bookings, and recover amounts from the person or persons involved.
We also reserve the right to verify payment methods used to secure bookings with
Jet2holidays or
Jet2.com. Where requested in advance by
Jet2holidays or
Jet2.com to do so, customers should ensure that any payment cards used to make bookings are brought to the airport with them (where the cardholder is the lead name or a named member of the booking party).
1.6
We strongly recommend all passengers travelling put in place appropriate personal travel insurance from the date of booking. Jet2.com offers personal travel insurance to cover you whilst on your holiday and also cancellation cover should you be unable to travel. Customers can purchase a policy on-line via the link on the “Travel Extras” page on our website or by visiting www.jet2insurance.com.
1.7
All flight bookings are made with us, Jet2.com Limited. All bookings for other products or services (e.g. car hire, insurance, accommodation) are made with the relevant third party supplier of those services and not with us as we act only as their agent. Of course, those suppliers will have their own terms and conditions which govern the supply to you of their products/services (in addition to our own Terms and Conditions). Those terms and conditions will apply to you and each person in your booking. This is because you will have a separate contract with each supplier. Please ensure that you have read the terms and conditions of the relevant suppliers (available by clicking the following hyperlink: airportessentials.jet2.com/) before you complete your booking (as well as these Terms and Conditions).
In certain circumstances the way in which you book travel services (including but not limited to flights, accommodation and car hire) with us may create a Linked Travel Arrangement under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, which can be found here. We will inform you when a Linked Travel Arrangement is likely to be facilitated and when it has been created. For clarity, a Linked Travel Arrangement will be created if you book any additional travel services during the same visit on our website or with us and pay for them separately or in certain circumstances where you book an additional travel service within 24 hours of the first booking.
Where a Linked Travel Arrangement is booked by us, you will not benefit from the rights which apply to packages under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. However, where we facilitate a Linked Travel Arrangement we hold financial protection in place to refund the payments you make to us for travel services that are not fully performed in the unlikely event of our insolvency and to ensure that you are repatriated when you book flights with Jet2.com only. This financial protection is required under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018.
In accordance with the UK Package Travel & Linked Travel Regulations 2018, Directive (EU) 2015/2302 or the local applicable law in the country of residence of the passenger(s) booking with Jet2.com Limited, passengers are fully protected for the initial deposit and subsequently the balance of all monies received by us, including repatriation costs and arrangements, arising from cancellation or curtailment of your travel arrangements due to the insolvency of Jet2.com Limited.
The respective laws accordingly to the country of residence of the passenger(s) usually only requires us to provide cover for Package & Linked Travel Arrangements, there is no requirement for Financial Protection of day trips or single elements, and none is provided unless the local law requires such. If you have questions on this then please contact Jet2.com Limited.
Jet2.com Limited has taken out an insurance provided by International Passenger Protection Ltd (IPP) with Liberty Mutual Insurance Europe SE (LMIE) trading as Liberty Specialty Markets, a member of the Liberty Mutual Insurance Group. LMIE's registered office: 5-7 rue Leon Laval, L-3372, Leudelange, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Registered Number B232280 (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés). LMIE is a European public limited liability company and is supervised by the Commissariat aux Assurances and licensed by the Luxembourg Minister of Finance as an insurance and reinsurance company. This insurance is only valid for passengers who book and pay directly with/to Jet2.com Limited.
In the event of our insolvency please make contact as soon as practically possible giving full details of what has happened quoting the name of Jet2.com Limited:

Note – this financial protection does not provide a refund where the relevant service provider becomes insolvent. This means that only the services that would be affected by the unlikely event of our insolvency would be protected and not the additional travel services which you purchase under the Linked Travel Arrangement that are supplied by a third party supplier.
We strongly recommend you take out personal travel insurance at the time of booking to ensure that you are covered if any of the additional travel services you book as part of a Linked Travel Arrangement are not fully performed as a result of a third party supplier’s insolvency. Jet2.com offers personal travel insurance to cover you whilst on your holiday and also cancellation cover should you be unable to travel. Customers can purchase a policy on-line via the link on the “Travel Extras” page on our website or by visiting www.jet2insurance.com.

You make this offer when you click “Complete Booking” during the booking process. We are able to accept or reject any such offers on our own behalf where your booking is with us and we are the principal, or on behalf of our suppliers where your booking is with our supplier and we are acting as their disclosed agent.
1.9
After you have made your booking we will send you an e-mail confirming acceptance and it is at this time that a binding contract comes into existence between you and us and between you and our suppliers (as applicable).

It is your responsibility to contact us if you do not receive an expected email regarding a booking confirmation.
1.10
After you have made your booking, and this is confirmed, we will also send you a text message with summary confirmation details. As outlined in section 1.9, please check your confirmation very carefully and contact our call centre immediately if there are any discrepancies or if it is not received. This text alert is only valid for your initial booking and all subsequent changes made to your booking will be notified by email or phone call. Jet2.com accepts no responsibility for non-receipt of texts, incomplete texts, change of telephone number or other loss or damage as a result of circumstances outside our control or your own negligent act or omission.
1.11
From time to time we sell flights which are restricted to return flights only, for a specified number of nights and/or departing only from specified airports. In such cases one-way bookings are not allowed and any booking found not to comply with the relevant restrictions will be cancelled. For example, all bookings made for flights to North America must be return flights originating from the UK and must be of a 4, 5 or 6 night duration only.

Most online discounts and promotional fares are not available for bookings made through our call centre. Base fare(s), taxes and charges are payable in the currency in which they are published.
3.2
If during the booking process, we become aware of or suspect that the booking is being made via a third party (such as a travel agent, tour operator, or third party website) who is not using the authorised channel for booking, we reserve the right (at our discretion) to add an additional supplement at the payment page. You will be notified prior to completion of the booking that the cost has increased (this will be either on screen in the case of online bookings, or over the phone for bookings via the contact centre) and can choose to pay the revised amount or abandon the booking without any payment being taken.
3.3

If those seats are no longer available at the time you select “Confirm Booking”, a message will be displayed telling you this and you will have to re-select a new fare for those seats, subject to availability. If you have used our “shopping basket” facility and the seats you originally selected are no longer available by the time you select "Confirm Booking", you will automatically be offered seats at the next available price, subject to availability.

If for any reason the booking is confirmed without receipt of valid payment in full, we may at any time prior to check-in cancel your booking. Should any monies be owed to us at any time for flights or items purchased on board, we reserve the right to cancel your booking until any outstanding debts are paid in full. Where any refund is due in respect of any booking, it will be repaid only to the person who paid for the booking using the same method of payment. .

If you require assistance for you or a member of your party (e.g. use of a wheelchair) you must tell us at the time of booking, (so that we can assist you in making the booking, if required) or no later than 48 hours before your departure so that we can make sure appropriate arrangements can be made. To request assistance, please ask for this during the booking stage through our website, you can also request assistance by calling 0800 408 5591 and speaking with the Assisted Travel Team. For more information view our FAQ section on Medical and Assisted Travel by clicking here.
Please note, failure to notify us in advance may mean that assistance may be delayed. We will do our very best to provide the required assistance, but some services may be limited. If the assistance needs (including carriage of assistance dogs) of customers on the same flight create conflicting health issues, we reserve the right to decide how the conflict shall be resolved at our absolute discretion. In addition, there may be occasions where we determine that it is appropriate for the passenger to be accompanied by a suitable carer.
There are height and weight restrictions which apply to mobility equipment (including manual wheelchairs and electronic mobility devices). Please speak with our Assisted Travel Team or visit the FAQ section by clicking here for more information. In any event we will only accept up to a maximum of three electric mobility devices on a single flight, which shall be accepted on a first come first serve basis. In the event we are unable to accept a mobility device, no refund of the flight fare will be available.

Except where national rules in the country you are travelling to do not permit it, we are pleased to carry registered assistance dogs free of charge on flights when accompanying a passenger with appropriate disabilities, with the assistance dog to be placed in the floor space of the accompanying passenger(s). If you wish to bring a registered assistance dog please contact our dedicated Assisted Travel Team at least 7 days before travel on +44 (0) 800 408 5591 or +44 (0) 203 059 8337 so that appropriate arrangements can be made (open Mon - Fri 09:00 - 21:00 and Sat 09:00 - 18:00).
Please note an additional seat may be required to ensure there is enough floor space for the assistance dog to lie down, and if this is the case, an additional charge may be applicable depending on the size of the assistance dog. This will be assessed by the Assisted Travel Team considering the comfort and safety of you, your assistance dog and other passengers. You agree that you assume full responsibility for any assistance dog and accept that we are not liable for injury to or loss, delay, sickness or death of any assistance dog.
We will ask for confirmation that your dog has been trained by an organisation that is an accredited member of the International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF), or an organisation that meets the full membership criteria of Assistance Dogs International (ADI) which can include the Assistance Dog Assessment Association (ADAA) https://www.theadaa.org/ who complete an independent assessment for home trained Assistance dog to the same standard as the IGDF and ADI. Any assistance dog will also need to comply with the rules of the Pet Travel Scheme on international flights to EU countries. For those flights to countries outside the EU, you will need to check local quarantine rules.
With the exception of registered assistance dogs accompanying a passenger, no animals are permitted to be carried in the cabin.

Further information can be found via the following link: https://www.caa.co.uk/Passengers/Before-you-fly/Making-a-booking/Airline-seating-allocations/ . Seat selection charges may be refunded where there has been a change of aircraft. From time to time for operational, safety or security reasons we may need to assign or re-assign seats, even after boarding the aircraft. Therefore, we cannot always guarantee your seat selection. If you select seats as part of your booking, the price paid is non-refundable. However, if you change the date of your flight, you can select seats for your new flight for free once you’ve completed your flight change. If equivalent seats are not available, you will not be entitled to a refund.

You must take appropriate precautions to protect yourself whilst onboard. We are unable to change or remove products that are available to buy onboard due to food allergies (for example egg). Pre-order meals and sandwiches will be served as normal. We also cannot guarantee that other customers will not bring their own products onboard. Without limitation, it is your responsibility to ensure that any food you are intending to consume does not include anything to which you are allergic at the time you order or purchase this. If you order a hot meal as part of your booking, the price paid is non-refundable. However, if you change the date of your flight, your meal will automatically transfer to the date of the new flight provided at least 48 hours' prior notice has been given.

16. Check-in and Boarding
16.1
If you have baggage to check-in and/or have not checked in on-line you must present yourself for check-in no later than the minimum check-in time shown on your itinerary or at least 2 hours before your departure time, whichever is the earlier. These check-in times vary by airport so please do check your itinerary carefully. You must allow sufficient time after check-in to proceed through security, customs and immigration in order to present yourself at the boarding gate prior to the deadline specified in section 16.6.
16.2
If you are travelling with hand baggage only and have checked in on-line, you can proceed straight to security. Please allow sufficient time to clear this process prior to your flight.
16.3
If you have pre-selected your seats on-line and have a valid passport you may check-in online, unless otherwise advised at the time. This can be done between 28 days and 6 hours before your scheduled departure date and time. For some routes this can be done up to 4 hours before the scheduled departure.
16.4
We may suspend on-line check-in from time to time. If this is the case you will need to check-in at the airport as explained above.
16.5
Unless otherwise specified in your itinerary, check-in closes 40 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time of the relevant flight. Failure to present yourself for check-in at the time stated in section 16.1 and to complete check-in before check-in closes will result in your reservation being cancelled and you will not be eligible for any refund.
16.6
Once you have proceeded through security and immigration you must ensure that you present yourself for boarding at the correct gate at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. If you fail to do so we reserve the right to cancel your reservation.
16.7
If you do not appear to possess the correct travel documentation or do not meet all relevant requirements of these Terms and Conditions, you will not be allowed to travel. It is very important to note that any failure by you to submit or present information required in relation to Advanced Passenger Information regulations will result in your not being allowed to travel.
16.8
Once you have checked-in (whether on-line or in person at the airport) you may not change your booking in any way.

17. Baggage Charges and Allowances
17.1 Hand/cabin baggage
You may carry on board one piece of unchecked cabin baggage free of charge which must be no more than 10kg in weight and no larger than 56cmx45cmx25cm. Should your cabin baggage be larger than these dimensions or weigh in excess of 10kg, you must check this in as hold baggage for which there will be an additional charge which you must pay. You may also be permitted to bring an additional, small item of cabin baggage on board (such as a handbag, laptop bag or airport purchase) provided that such items can be reasonably carried on board, either in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you. These items are carried in the cabin subject to our discretion and applicable operational requirements.
For safety reasons we will restrict the consumption of alcohol on board. Any alcohol brought on board by you must not be consumed during the flight.
With all hand/cabin baggage (including airport purchases) we reserve the right to require that it must be stored in the aircraft hold where there isn't enough space in the cabin or due to any other operational requirements (in which case there will be no charge unless it exceeds the size or weight requirements referred to above). In such circumstances you must ensure that all valuable items are removed and kept with you in the cabin.
Subject to availability, you can pre-book Guaranteed Cabin Luggage for an extra charge, and if you have purchased this service, you will not be asked to put your hand baggage in the hold (unless it exceeds the weight and size requirements detailed above or operational requirements apply).
If we require your Guaranteed Cabin Luggage to go into the hold for operational requirements, you can contact Customer Services to arrange a refund for any charges which you have paid for this service. In circumstances where you have paid for this service and later decide it is not required, no refund will be given.
17.2 Checked-in Baggage
If you wish to check-in baggage for carriage in the hold of the aircraft, we levy a charge for this which will be notified at the time of booking and which may vary depending on the length of the flight and when and how you purchase your booking. If you have selected on-line check and choose to take a checked in item, an on-line check in fee will be charged to cover the cost of the baggage check-in facility at the airport. Upon payment of the relevant per bag charge you will have a baggage allowance for one bag of 22kg. If you need additional bag(s), you must pay the relevant per bag charge for each additional bag you wish to carry, and your personal allowance will increase by 22kg per additional bag purchased. If you would like to add baggage for just one sector of your journey, you may do so via Manage My Booking (however please note this can only be done following the confirmation of your booking (i.e. your booking referenced has been issued)). No single bag may weigh more than 32kg. Please note that infants have a 10kg free of charge checked-in baggage allowance although this must be added to their responsible adult's checked-in baggage and may not be booked as a separate bag. You may add this allowance in Manage My Booking. No single bag may weigh more than 32kg. This allowance is applicable for each infant and adult pairing on the booking.
Please note that baggage charges are non-refundable so if you change your mind and wish to cancel your checked-in baggage after you have booked this, we will not refund you. If we cancel or make a significant change to your flight, you will be entitled to a refund of your baggage charges in accordance with clause 26.
If you arrive at the airport with baggage to check-in that you have not pre-booked online, you will be liable to pay an additional charge as advised at the time of checking-in.
If your baggage weighs more than your allowance permits then you will have to pay (in addition) an excess baggage charge for each extra kg (or part) carried above your allowance which will be advised at the time of payment at the departure airport.
Golf clubs and skis may be pre-booked on-line, through our call centre or airport sales desks subject to payment of the relevant extra charge. For all other “outsize” items you must advise our call centre in advance of travel and extra charges may apply. Examples of outsize items are things such as pushchairs, travel cots, child car seats, musical instruments, wheelchairs (subject to Assisted Travel rules at clause 12), and sporting equipment.
We can carry sporting equipment up to a maximum per item weight of 32kg.
The carriage of excess baggage above your permitted allowance and outsize items is strictly subject to availability of space on the relevant aircraft (as well as applicable safety, health, security and operational constraints) and therefore cannot always be guaranteed for carriage on the same aircraft as you. If such items cannot be carried on the same flight as you are travelling we will carry them on the next suitably available flight.
All current baggage charges are either notified at time of booking on-line or are available through our call centre. Bookings made via third party websites may attract a higher charge.
All baggage must be properly packed in suitcases or other suitable containers in order to ensure that it is sufficiently robust and well secured to withstand the usual and normal rigours of carriage by air.

25. Cancel or change my booking
25.1
Our bookings are non-refundable so if you cancel, miss, or cannot take your flight, or no longer wish to use additional services booked, for any reason we will not refund you. If we cancel a flight or additional services booked or make a significant change to a flight or the additional services booked you will be entitled to a refund in accordance with clause 26.
25.2

25.3
We do not allow any requests to change your point of departure or destination. If you wish to change these by making a new booking then you will forfeit all monies paid.
25.4
Name changes: We do allow name changes made through our call centre or authorised agents, or made in person at the passenger sales desk at the airport provided these are made at least 4 hours prior to the scheduled departure time shown on your itinerary and that the requested change is for the whole itinerary for the relevant passenger (a “Name Change”). You will need to provide the full name, address and contact e-mail address and telephone number for the new passenger(s) and we will send them a confirmation e mail and itinerary. If the name change being made is not a change of person, but to correct a mistake made at the time of making the original booking, then the appropriate charges will still be levied.
25.5
Date Changes: We also allow changes to your departure time and your departure dates (a “Date Change”) made on line at www.Jet2.com up to 5 hours before the original scheduled departure time, made in person at the departure sales desk at least 2 hours before the original scheduled departure time or made through our call centre at least 4 hours before the original scheduled departure time.

-
an administration fee (please refer to the FAQs on www.Jet2.com/en/faqs for details of current charges);
- the difference (if any) in price between the original booking and the price applicable to the new booking. Your new booking price is calculated at the time you make the amendment so this may mean that the fare for your new flight and the related taxes, fees and charges may be different. Note that if there is no increase in price then you will not be required to pay any more, but if the new price is less than that for your original booking we will refund the difference. There may be exceptions to this where the original booking was part of a promotion as the discount may be repayable so the associated terms and conditions should be referred to in each case.
25.7
You are entitled to make one Name Change per booking where you will have to pay only an administration fee for this name change (please refer to the FAQs on www.Jet2.com/en/faqs for details of current charges). For each additional or subsequent Name Change, you will have to pay the following amendment charges:
-
an administration fee (please refer to the FAQs on www.Jet2.com/en/faqs for details of current charges);
-
the difference (if any) in price between the original booking and the price applicable to the new booking. Your new booking price is calculated at the time you make the amendment so this may mean that the fare for your new flight and the related taxes, fees and charges may be different. This includes, for example, the charges relating to baggage allowance, seat selection and pre-ordered meals. Note that if there is no increase in price then you will not be required to pay any more, if the new price is less than that for your original booking we will refund the difference. There may be exceptions to this where the original booking was part of a promotion as the discount may be repayable so the associated terms and conditions should be referred to in each case.
The administration fee payable for each Name Change or Date Change requested during the same call to our call centre will be subject to the cap specified in the FAQs on www.Jet2.com/en/faqs . This cap will not apply for Name Changes or Date Changes made on www.Jet2.com or for Name Changes or Date Changes made during separate calls to our call centre.

In accordance with EU regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 as incorporated into UK law and amended, we are required to bring to your attention the existence of an Air Safety List which contains details of air carriers who are subject to an operating ban in the UK and/or the EU. The UK Air Safety List can be found on the UK CAA’s website: https://www.caa.co.uk/media/5fwfpd4s/uk-air-safety-list-31-may-2023.pdf The EU Air Safety List can be found here: https://transport.ec.europa.eu/transport-themes/eu-air-safety-list_en.
When you book flights with us, the carrier who will be operating your aircraft will in normal circumstances be Jet2.com Limited. Our airline identification code is LS and consequently our flight numbers are shown prefixed by LS. However, in common with most airlines, there may sometimes be occasions where it is necessary for us to temporarily supplement our fleet with aircraft operated for our benefit by another carefully chosen airline. Where there is a change of carrier we will advise you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as possible.
In such circumstances, we shall try to ensure that you receive the same level of in-flight service and baggage allowance advertised for your flight but we cannot guarantee that this will always be possible.

Your contract of carriage with us (including these Terms and Conditions and all applicable exclusions and limits of liability) applies for the benefit of our authorised agents, servants, employees and representatives to the same extent as they apply to us. As a result, the total amount recoverable from us and our authorised agents, servants, employees and representatives will not be more than our own liability, if any.
We will have no liability to you regarding any product or services you book through us, as agent for the supplier thereof, unless caused solely by our negligence, save as provided for expressly under the Montreal Convention, EC 261/2004 Regulation as applicable, and any other applicable laws.
A summary of the liability rules applied by UK air carries appears here: https://www.jet2.com/en/carrier-information-and-liability-notice
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions gives up or waives any exclusion or limitation of our liability available under the Montreal Convention or applicable local law unless otherwise expressly stated in writing by us; or prevents us from excluding or limiting our liability under the Montreal Convention or under any other laws which apply, or gives up any defence available to us there under against any public social security body or any person liable to pay, or who has paid, compensation for the death, wounding or other bodily injury of a passenger.

- Our maximum liability for loss of or damage to cabin baggage and checked-in baggage is limited to the local currency equivalent of 1,288 Special Drawing Rights per passenger unless you prove that the loss or damage resulted from our act or omission either done with the intention of to cause it or recklessly and with knowledge that it would probably result.
- We will increase our liability to you for loss or damage to your checked-in baggage to an amount specified by you and agreed by us at the time you hand your checked-in baggage to us at check-in, but only if you pay to us an additional charge calculated at the rate of 5GBP/ 8EUR/ 11CHF/ 250CZK/ 60NOK/ 30PLN per each 50GBP/ 80EUR/ 110CHF/ 2500CZK/ 600NOK/ 300PLN (or part thereof) you wish to add to the 1,288 Special Drawing Rights limit up to a maximum amount of 1,500GBP /2250EUR /3300CHF /72000CZK /18000NOK/ 9000PLN in excess of the local currency equivalent of that limit.

A summary of your rights in relation to flight delays appears here: https://www.jet2.com/delays-and-cancellations
30.5 US Required Liability Notice
Wherever liability for your journey does not rest with us and the Montreal Convention does not apply and the carrier has not waived the Warsaw Convention limits for death or bodily injury and the defence that it has taken all necessary measures to avoid the damage up to the national currency equivalent of 128,821 Special Drawing Rights of any such claim, the Warsaw Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the liability of such carriers for death of or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed: (i) US$75,000 per passenger in the case of journeys to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in the USA, and that this liability up to such limit shall not depend on negligence on the part of the carrier; and (ii) US$10,000 or US$20,000 in the case of journeys not to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in the USA.
The names of carriers party 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 the Montreal Convention or such special contracts of carriage. For further information, please consult your airline or insurance company representatives.
Note: The above US$75,000 limits of liability is inclusive of legal fees/costs except that in case of a claim brought in a country where a provision is made for separate award of legal fees/costs, the limit shall be US$58,000 exclusive of legal fees/costs.

In the case of a compensation claim for physical damage to baggage, you must retain the damaged baggage and produce it to us at our request in order that we may examine it to assess the nature and extent of the damage and whether the baggage is capable of repair. In the event that you wish to claim for the cost of replacing an individual item which forms part of a claim for damage to baggage, you must consult us before incurring the replacement cost, otherwise it may not be included in the compensation payable to you. You must include proof of purchase of the replacement items when making your claim. In respect of all claims for damages concerning your baggage, you must provide us with all the information we request to assess the eligibility of your claim and the amount of damages payable. If we require you to do so, you must sign a statement of truth regarding the facts and value of your claim for damage to your baggage before we make the payment to you. If you fail to comply with these requirements, you may adversely affect the amount of compensation to which you are entitled.
