You should choose the fare best suited to your needs. You may also wish to ensure that you have appropriate insurance to cover instances where you have to cancel your Ticket. 3.1.5 If you have a Ticket of the type described in Article 3.1.4 above which is completely unused solely because you are prevented from traveling due to Force Majeure, we will provide you with a credit for the non-refundable amount of the fare for future travel on us, subject to deduction of a reasonable administration fee and provided that you promptly advise and furnish us with evidence of such Force Majeure. Such credit can be used toward purchase of a Ticket for another person. 3.1.6 The Ticket is and remains at all times the property of the issuing carrier. 3.1.7 Except in the case of an Electronic Ticket, you shall not be entitled to be carried on a flight unless you present a valid Ticket containing the Flight Coupon for that flight and all other unused Flight Coupons as well as the Passenger Coupon. In addition, you shall not be entitled to be carried if the Ticket presented is mutilated or tampered with, or if it has been altered otherwise than by us or our Authorized Agent. In the case of an Electronic Ticket, you shall not be entitled to be carried on a flight unless you provide positive identification and a valid e-Ticket Receipt has been duly issued in your name. 3.1.8(a) In case of loss or mutilation of a Ticket (or part of it) by you, upon your request we will replace such Ticket (or part of it) by issuing a new Ticket, provided there is evidence, readily ascertainable at the time, that a Ticket valid for the flight(s) in question was duly issued and you sign an agreement to reimburse us for the costs and losses specified in Article 3.1.8(b) below. 3.1.8(b) We may charge a reasonable administrative fee for this service. We may also seek reimbursement from you for any costs or losses, up to the value of the original ticket, which are necessary and reasonably incurred by us or another carrier for misuse of the Ticket. However, we will not claim reimbursement from you for any such losses which result from our own negligence. 3.1.8(c) Where such evidence is not available or you do not sign such an agreement, the carrier issuing the new Ticket may require you to pay up to the full Ticket price for a replacement Ticket, subject to refund if and when the original issuing carrier is satisfied that the lost or mutilated Ticket has not been used before the expiry of its validity. If, upon finding the original Ticket before the expiry of its validity, you surrender it to the carrier issuing the new Ticket, the foregoing refund will be processed at that time. 3.1.8(d) Any reimbursement agreement signed pursuant to Article 3.1.8(a) will be for an amount up to the value of the original Ticket unless the replaced Ticket is subsequently used or cashed in by you, in which event your obligation to reimburse will also include our costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) of locating/notifying you and enforcing the agreement together with a reasonable administration fee in the same currency used to purchase the Ticket. 3.1.9 A paper Ticket is valuable and you should take appropriate measures to safeguard it and ensure it is not lost or stolen.

3.2 Period of validity 3.2.1 Except as otherwise provided on the Ticket, in these Conditions of Carriage, or in any applicable Tariffs (which may limit the validity of a Ticket, in which case the limitation will be shown on the Ticket), a Ticket is valid for: 3.2.1.1 One year from the date of issue; or 3.2.1.2 Subject to the first travel occurring within one year from the date of issue, one year from the date of first travel under the Ticket.

3.2.2 When you are prevented from traveling within the period of validity of the Ticket because at the time you request a reservation we are unable to confirm a reservation, the validity of such Ticket will be extended, or you may be entitled to a voluntary refund in accordance with Article 10.3. 3.2.3 If, after having commenced your journey, you are prevented from traveling within the period of validity of the Ticket by reason of unexpected illness, we may decide to extend the period of validity of your Ticket until the date when you become fit to travel or until our first flight after such date, from the point where the journey is resumed, on which space is available in the class of service for which the fare has been paid. Such illness must be attested to by an official medical certificate confirming the facts of the illness and stating when you will be fit to continue your journey. When the flight coupons remaining in the Ticket, or in the case of an Electronic Ticket, the e-Ticket Receipt, involve one or more Stopovers, the validity of such Ticket may be extended for not more than three months from the certified date on which you will be medically fit to continue your journey. In such circumstances, we will similarly extend the period of validity of Tickets of other members of your immediate family accompanying you. 3.2.4 In the event of death of a Passenger en route, the Tickets of persons accompanying the Passenger maybe modified by waiving the minimum stay or extending the validity. In the event of a death in the immediate family of a Passenger who has commenced travel, the validity of the Passenger’s Ticket and those of his or her immediate family who are accompanying the Passenger may likewise be modified. Any such modification shall be made upon receipt of a valid death certificate and any such extension of validity shall not be for a period longer than forty-five (45) days from the date of the death. The issuing carrier may charge a reasonable administration fee for this service.

3.3 Coupon sequence and use 3.3.1 The Ticket you have purchased is valid only for the transportation shown on the Ticket from the place of departure via any Agreed Stopping Places to the final destination. The fare you have paid is based upon our Tariff and is for the transportation as shown on the Ticket. It forms an essential part of our contract with you. The Ticket will not be honoured and will lose its validity if all the Coupons are not used in the sequence provided in the Ticket. 3.3.2 Should you wish to change any aspect of your transportation you must contact us in advance. The fare for your new transportation will be calculated and you will be given the option of accepting the new price or maintaining your original transportation as ticketed. Should you be required to change any aspect of your transportation due to Force Majeure, you must contact us as soon as possible and we will use reasonable efforts to transport you to your next Stopover or final destination, without recalculation of the fare, provided that you promptly advise us and furnish evidence of such Force Majeure. 3.3.3 Should you change your transportation without our agreement your unused Coupons will not be valid for travel until we have assessed the correct price for your actual travel and you have paid any difference between the price you previously paid and the total price applicable for your revised transportation. We will refund you the difference if the new price is lower but otherwise your unused Coupons will have no value. 3.3.4 Please be aware that while some types of changes will not result in a change of fare, others, such as changing the place of departure (for example if you do not fly the first segment) or reversing the direction you travel, can result in an increase in price. Many fares are valid only on the dates and for the flights shown on the Ticket and may not be changed at all, or only upon payment of an additional fee. 3.3.5 Each Flight Coupon contained in your Ticket will be accepted for transportation in the class of service on the date and flight for which space has been reserved. When a Ticket is originally issued without a reservation being specified, space may be later reserved subject to our Tariff and the availability of space on the flight requested. 3.3.6 Please be advised that in the event you do not show up for any flight without advising us one (1) day in advance of departure of the flight, we may decide to cancel your return or onward reservations. However, if you do advise us in advance, we will not cancel your subsequent flight reservations. Additional penalties may apply if a passenger fails to show up for any flight. Please contact us for additional information on these penalties and the situations in which they are assessed.

3.4 Name and address of carrier Our name may be abbreviated to our Airline Designator Code, or otherwise, in the Ticket. Our address shall be deemed to be the airport of departure shown opposite the first abbreviation of our name in the “carrier” box in the Ticket, or in the case of an Electronic Ticket, as indicated for our first flight segment in the e-Ticket Receipt. Article 4 — Fares, Taxes, Fees, Charges and Surcharges 4.1 Fares Fares apply only for carriage from the airport at the point of origin to the airport at the point of destination, unless otherwise expressly stated. Fares do not include ground transport service between airports and between airports and town terminals. Your fare will be calculated in accordance with our Tariff in effect on the date of payment of your Ticket for travel on the specific dates and itinerary shown in it. Should you change your itinerary or dates of travel, this may affect the fare to be paid.

4.2 Taxes, fees and charges Applicable taxes, fees and charges imposed by government or other authority, by the operator of an airport, or by us shall be payable by you. When you purchase your Ticket, you will be advised of taxes, fees and charges not included in the fare, most of which will normally be shown separately on the Ticket. If you have purchased your ticket through an Authorized Agent and the Authorized Agent has failed to provide details of applicable taxes, fees and charges, resulting in no payment, or insufficient payment, of such taxes, fees and charges, you must pay the relevant amount at the airport before you are entitled to carriage. The taxes, fees and charges imposed on air travel are constantly changing and can be imposed after the date of purchase or the date of your Ticket’s issuance. If there is an increase in a tax, fee or charge shown on the Ticket, you will be obliged to pay it, provided that the additional tax, fee, or charge is imposed by government or other authority. Likewise, if a new tax, fee or charge is imposed by government or other authority, even after payment or the date of issue of your Ticket, you will be obliged to pay it. Similarly, in the event any taxes, fees or charges which you have paid to us at the time of issue of your Ticket are abolished or reduced such that they no longer apply to you, or a lesser amount is due, you will be entitled to claim a refund if the authorities or entities imposing these taxes, charges or fees grant us a corresponding refund.

4.3 Exceptional circumstances surcharges 4.3.1 In exceptional circumstances, charges may be imposed by us which are not taxes, fees or charges levied by the government or by a third party which are not normally applicable to our operations (for example, but not limited to, insurance premium supplements or additional security costs triggered by terrorism). In addition, we may be subject to significant increases in operational costs, such as fuel charges, caused by exceptional circumstances beyond our control. Where such charges relate to carriage of passengers, we shall (subject to Article 4.3.2) be entitled to require you to pay, as fare surcharges, all such charges attributable by us to your carriage (even if imposed after the date of issue of your Ticket), save that where the total of all surcharges payable exceeds the lesser amount of, 25 percent of the cost of your Ticket or the sum of $50 USD, (or the equivalent amount in the currency used to purchase the ticket), you may choose not to pay and receive an involuntary refund in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.2. 4.3.2 We will endeavor to contact you with details of any applicable fare surcharges, as well as any increases in charges, taxes, or fees, as soon as possible. If we are unable to contact you, we will advise you of the applicable fare surcharge at check-in. You are entitled to choose not to pay the fare surcharge and receive an involuntary refund in accordance with Article 10.2, in which case we will have no further liability to you. 4.3.3 In the event any such surcharge you have paid to us at the time of issue of your Ticket ceases to apply to you, or a lesser amount is due, you will be entitled to claim a refund. Refunds are available prior to travel commencing or on partially used tickets. Refunds are not available on fully used tickets. Refunds will be provided in accordance with Article 10 of these Conditions of Carriage.

4.4 Currency Fares, taxes, fees and charges are payable in the currency of the country in which the Ticket is issued, unless another currency is indicated by us or our Authorized Agent, at or before the time payment is made (for example, because of the non-convertibility of the local currency). At our discretion, we may accept payment in another currency. Article 5 — Reservations 5.1 Reservation requirements 5.1.1 We or our Authorized Agent will record your reservation(s). Upon request we will provide you with written confirmation of your reservation(s). 5.1.2 Certain fares have conditions which limit or exclude your right to change or cancel reservations. 5.1.3 If you have a medical condition or other condition for which you may require medical assistance or special assistance during embarkation, disembarkation or assistance during the flight (for example, in the circumstances set out at Articles 7.3 and 7.4), you must advise us at the time you make your booking. You will be given a provisional booking until such time that we are satisfied that you have received medical clearance required by Article 7.3 and satisfied all conditions attached to such clearance. If you are flying to or from the United States, you do not need to comply with the requirements set out in this Article 5.1.3 and you should ask us how the requirements differ. 5.1.4 At the time of making reservations, all Passengers must provide their valid and current contact details such as telephone numbers (home and office landline numbers, mobile numbers) and a valid email address. Telephone contact details will be required for the origin point, transit point (if stopping over) and at the destination point of your travel itinerary. In the event of any changes to your planned flight, such as possible flight delays and cancellations, Arik Air will make every feasible attempt to contact Passengers with related information, as soon as such information is known, and using the contact details provided. Except on flights to or from the United States, failure by the Passenger to provide this information absolves Arik Air from any liability in the event of flight delays or flight cancellations.

5.2 Ticketing time limits 5.2.1 We will cancel your reservation if you have not paid the applicable fare (and taxes, fees and charges) for the Ticket prior to the specified ticketing time limit, as advised by us or our Authorized Agent. 5.2.2 If you wish to make payment for your ticket at one of our Nominated Banks, you should advise us of this at the time of booking. At your request we will make a provisional reservation for you on the understanding that it will be automatically cancelled by us if you fail to complete the payment procedure and present the receipt issued by the Nominated Bank to us within 48 hours of the issue of the provisional booking.

Sensitive personal data, for example, data relating to your health or disabilities, religion criminal record or otherwise, may be processed by us. You recognise that by providing us with sensitive personal data you give your explicit consent for us to process it and disclose it to third parties for the above purposes. We may also retain your personal data for direct marketing and market research, but not without your authority. We undertake to collect, process, store and transfer your data in compliance with relevant data protection legislation.

We reserve the right to substitute a different aircraft type and model. This may be necessary for operational, safety or security reasons. 5.5.2 There may be occasions where it is necessary for us to temporarily supplement our fleet with aircraft operated for our benefit by another airline. In such circumstances, we shall try to ensure that you receive the same level of in-flight service, entertainment and baggage allowance advertised for your flight but we cannot guarantee that this will always be possible.

5.6 Communication expenses Once your reservation has been confirmed, we may require reimbursement by you of communication expenses incurred by us as a result of any request made by you subsequent to the confirmation in connection with your reservation such as, but not limited to, change of date or time of your flight, requests for upgrades or change in routing to final destination.

5.7 Reconfirmation of reservations 5.7.1 Onward or return reservations may be subject to the requirement to reconfirm the reservations within specified time limits. We will advise you when we require reconfirmation and how and where it should be done. If it is required and you fail to reconfirm, we may decide to cancel your onward or return reservations. No refund will be made for the fare in respect of such cancelled reservation unless permitted by the conditions applicable to your Ticket. If you advise us you still wish to travel, and there is space on the flight, we will reinstate your reservations and transport to you. If there is no space on the flight we will use reasonable efforts to transport you to your next or final destination. 5.7.2 You should check the reconfirmation requirements of any other carriers involved in your journey with them. Where it is required, you must reconfirm with the carrier whose Airline Designator Code appears on the Ticket for the flight in question.

The limits of liability for damage to unchecked and checked baggage laid down by local law apply to your Baggage where your carriage does not form part of international carriage for the purposes of the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention. Neither will we accept liability for cosmetic and/or superficial damage caused to baggage as a result of normal wear and tear during the course of carriage. All claims made under the Montreal Convention must be substantiated by documented proof of purchase, including date and price of purchase. Depreciation will be deducted. 15.5.3 The maximum limits of liability stated in Article 15.5.2 shall not apply if; (i) the Damage resulted from an act or omission of the carrier done with intent to cause Damage or recklessly and with knowledge that Damage would probably result; or (ii) in the case of Checked Baggage, a higher value is declared in writing at the time it was handed to the carrier and an additional charge is paid to the carrier pursuant to an excess valuation facility as determined by the carrier. 15.5.4 Where an additional charge is paid pursuant to an excess valuation facility for Checked Baggage under Article 15.5.3, we will be liable for any Damage to this item up to the higher amount declared. 15.5.5 Where applicable law provides that different limits of liability are applicable to Unchecked Baggage and/or Checked Baggage, such different limits shall apply. 15.5.6 If the weight of the Baggage is not recorded on the Baggage Check, it is presumed for all purposes that the total weight of the Checked Baggage does not exceed the applicable free baggage allowance for the class of carriage applicable to the Passenger's booking. 15.5.7 Except to the extent inconsistent with the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention (where applicable), we shall have no liability whatsoever for Damage to articles not permitted to be contained in Checked Baggage under Article 8.3, or carried as Unchecked Baggage including but not limited to fragile or perishable items, valuable items (including, but not limited to, money, jewelry, precious metals, computers, personal electronic devices), any medication or medical equipment which may be required in-flight or during your trip or which cannot be swiftly replaced if lost or damaged, house or car keys, valuable documents (including, but not limited to, business documents, passports and other identification documents, negotiable papers, securities, deeds), or samples. 15.5.8 We will not be liable for cosmetic and/or superficial damage caused to Baggage as a result of normal wear and tear during the course of any of the operations of carriage. 15.5.9 We shall have no liability where the Damage resulted from the inherent defect, quality or vice of the Baggage. Likewise, we will not be liable for fair wear and tear of Baggage resulting from the usual and normal rigours of transportation by air (see also Article 8.6.4 regarding the suitability of your Baggage for transportation by air). 15.5.10 Where your Baggage has a greater value than the limit of our liability stated in Article 15.5.2, you should bring that fact to our attention at check-in so that you may make a special declaration and pay a supplementary sum according to Article 15.5.3 or fully insure the value of the Baggage prior to travel. In any event, any portion of the value of your Baggage above our applicable limit of liability should be insured by you prior to travel.

The method of calculating the period of limitation shall be determined by the law of the court where the case is heard.
