2- PRICES, CARRIER SURCHARGES AND RESTRICTIONS

Prices are based, among other things, on fuel costs, exchange rates and taxes in force on the date of the last modification of the Website. Air Transat, like most air carriers, collects surcharges to offset the volatility and fluctuation of certain recurring expenses and operating costs. These surcharges represent the "carrier surcharges" and are intended to cover Air Transat's operating expenses and mitigate unforeseen fluctuation, including, without limitation, fuel costs and variation of foreign currency exchange rates.

Unless otherwise noted herein, all prices are quoted in the currency appearing in your purchase confirmation and are per person. The terms and conditions which apply to changes and/or cancellation of air tickets sold by AIR TRANSAT may vary. For more information, please refer to clause 8 of the present terms and conditions under the title "Fares".

To avoid fraudulent purchases, (e.g. due to a lost card or the provision of false information), AIR TRANSAT reserves the right to request additional information from the passengers and/or the cardholder at any time after a purchase has been made - including at check-in - so that it may verify the information provided when the purchase was made.

At the time of booking of certain flights, you may be requested to provide certain information found in your passport. Confirmation regarding prices, travel dates, flights, hotels, car rentals, and other services, as the case may be, is only given once the payment is received and is based on availability of Services. Upon completion of the check-out procedure and receipt of the payment in full, you will receive and email confirming that your booking has been accepted and summarizing all the details of your flight(s).

5- TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

A valid passport is required for all travels outside your country of residence and is the only reliable and universally accepted evidence of citizenship. Certain countries require that the passport be valid for six (6) months beyond the date of return to your country of residence, or require a visa for citizens or born in another country. Some countries may not allow entry to visitors carrying the passport of certain other countries.

Please consult the "CHILDREN" section below when a minor under the applicable laws of the country of departure or destination is travelling alone or with one parent only. You should contact the nearest foreign government office of the country you plan to visit for definitive, up-to-date information on travel documents, such as passports, visas, affidavits or notarized letters of consent, that are required by each person for whom you are purchasing travel. Country-specific and interactive passenger-specific information is also available at www.iatatravelcentre.com and www.travel.gc.ca. If you require additional assistance, please contact us at 00 800 87 26 72 83 (hearing impaired: +1-514-906-5196 TTY).

It is your responsibility to contact the nearest foreign government office of the country you plan to visit. Failure to provide the required documents may result in denied boarding privileges by the carrier or the relevant authorities, without recourse or refund. Your entry may also be refused even if your documentation is complete. A previous criminal record could result in denied entry into the U.S. or in other countries. No trip refund or replacement will be given for inadequate, lost or stolen documents or for any denied entry. AIR TRANSAT cannot be held liable for any damages resulting from failure to obtain travel documents, to comply with applicable laws, for delay in document delivery, or for any aid or information given by third parties.

6- CHILDREN

We strongly recommend that children carry a consent letter if they are travelling abroad alone, with only one parent/guardian, with friends or relatives or with a group. For the purposes of this consent letter, a child is defined as anyone who is under the age of majority under the applicable laws of a country of departure or destination.

A consent letter is not a legal requirement in Canada, but it can simplify travel for Canadian children, as it may be requested by immigration authorities when entering or leaving a foreign country or by Canadian officials when re-entering Canada. We recommend that you talk to a lawyer about the legal issues that apply to you and your children's unique situation, particularly if your parenting arrangement has special terms governing international travel. Carrying a consent letter does not guarantee that children will be allowed to enter or leave a country, as every country has its own entry and exit requirements.

For additional information about entry and exit requirements for Canadian children travelling alone, with only one parent or with another accompanying person, see Travel Advice and Advisories from the Government of Canada or contact the nearest embassy or consulate of the destination country. We recommend that the letter be signed by every non-accompanying person or organization with the legal right to make major decisions for the child, including anyone with:

• custody rights,
• guardianship rights, or
• parental authority (in Quebec only)

We also recommend that the letter be signed by any non-accompanying parent who has access to the child. Consult justice.gc.ca if you have questions about parenting terminology. Before writing a consent letter, read the Consent Letter FAQ from the Government of Canada.

Schedule Check and Connecting Flights: Flight schedules are subject to change without notice. You are entirely responsible for verifying your flight schedule with AIR TRANSAT during the 24-hour period immediately prior to the departure and the return date. AIR TRANSAT undertakes to notify, reasonably in advance and through means it deems appropriate, customers of any schedule modification resulting in the moving-up or the delaying of the flight departure time or in case of cancellation of a flight. Whenever you book connecting flights, you have the responsibility to allow yourselves sufficient time to make the connection.

In the case of Club Class seats offered by AIR TRANSAT, in the event of a change in the type of aircraft, air carrier, or in the case of a flight consolidation, repayment by AIR TRANSAT of the sums paid by the customer for the seat Club Class shall be deemed a final and complete settlement.

Other applicable conditions: Air transport conditions and claims relating to loss and/or damage to baggage are governed by the Montreal Convention [http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-26/page-5.html], or the Warsaw Convention [http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/fra/lois/C-26/page-3.html#h-1] as the case may be, the applicable tariffs of the air carrier as well as the conditions of contract appearing on the airline ticket and any government regulations that establish the limits of air carrier liability. Once filed with and approved by federal regulatory authorities, any amendments or modifications to the applicable air carrier's general terms and conditions of carriage are not subject to additional public notice and are legally binding. Air tickets that are not used, in whole or in part, on the dates indicated, cannot be honoured on another flight but may, on request, be subject to partial refund of certain taxes and fees under the general conditions established by AIR TRANSAT.

Refusal to transport – Removal of passengers: Save as set out in the Montreal Convention and the Warsaw Convention, AIR TRANSAT shall not be liable for either its refusal or the refusal of another air carrier to transport a passenger or for the cancellation of a reserved space or removal of a passenger from an outbound flight and/or return flight due to, but not limited to, the passenger failure to present himself/herself for an outbound flight (herein referred to as "no-show"), the passenger being deemed to put a public safety at risk, the passenger's failure to carry the necessary travel documents or any issue relating to the validity or consistency of such documents, a threatened or actual violation by the passenger of law or AIR TRANSAT or another airline considers that it is necessary to deny boarding to a passenger in order to prevent danger or risk to this passenger or to any other passenger or property or to ensure the proper conduct of the flight.

 

8- CANCELLATION FARES AND NO-SHOWS

The fares and the terms and conditions to any change and/or cancellation of tickets issued by AIR TRANSAT vary according to the departure airport and destination of the flight. Passengers can refer to our helpful online tool to learn more about the terms and conditions applicable for their ticket.

Prices indicated in this tool are are approximate and are subject to change without prior notice. Prices are calculated in the local currency of the departure city.

No refund will be made to the Customer by AIR TRANSAT if the price of the ticket is less at the date of the change or cancellation. AIR TRANSAT may determine the amount of the cancellation and change fees in other currencies by using an exchange rate determined in its sole discretion when proceeding to such currency conversion.

No-show: If a passenger does not cancel its flight ticket within 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure and fail to present himself/herself for an outbound flight (no-show), the passenger will be deemed to have forfeited its tickets for this flight segment. It is understood and agreed that the total amount paid for the air ticket is equivalent to the value of the damages sustained from the inability to resale the forfeited seat and that such amount will be retained by AIR TRANSAT as compensation and liquidated damages; no refund will be issued.

In addition, some additional fees may apply to certain requests to change to your booking. If applicable, full details regarding any such fees will be provided to you if and when you request a change to your booking.

Every time a passenger does not embark a flight, and once the ticket bought has become invalid and did not allow transportation, the passenger may obtain the reimbursement of individualised taxes and fees displayed as such, the payment of which proceeds from the actual embarkation of the passenger. This right to reimbursement does not apply to fuel surcharges or other surcharges of the carrier.
