4.2 TAXES, FEES, SURCHARGES AND CHARGES

4.2.1 You are required to pay applicable taxes, fees, surcharges, and charges imposed by any government or other authority, or by us or the operator of an airport. At the time you purchase your Ticket, you will be advised of all applicable taxes, fees, surcharges, and charges known to us. However, since the taxes, fees, surcharges and charges imposed on air travel are constantly changing and can be imposed or changed after the date on which a Ticket is issued, you may be obliged to pay additional taxes, fees, surcharges or charges, even after the Ticket has been issued. Such additional taxes, fees, surcharges or charges must be paid before you travel, otherwise you will not be permitted to travel on the flight.

4.2.2 If you pay any taxes or charges imposed by a government or other authority, or by us or the operator of an airport when the Ticket is issued, but those taxes or charges are subsequently reduced or abolished so that they no longer apply to your flight, then you will be entitled to a refund of the difference. You may also be able to claim for a refund of such applicable taxes or charges if you do not use some or all of the Coupons on your Ticket (including if you cancel a Booking) provided that the relevant government or other authority does not require such taxes or charges to be payable in those circumstances. You can make such a claim, or find our more information about this, by contacting our customer service team. Any claim so made will be subject to a reasonable service charge.

4.3 PAYMENT

All fares, fees, rates, taxes, charges and surcharges must be paid in full at the time of Booking. If such sums are not paid in full (or appropriate credit arrangements are not made with us), we may, at any time prior to check-in, cancel the Booking. Without prejudice to Article 4.2.2 above, these sums are non-refundable. All payments must be made in Pound Sterling, unless we specify otherwise.

4.4 PERSONAL DATA

You recognise that personal data has been given to us for the purposes of making a Booking and for obtaining any ancillary services.

4.6 REFUNDS

4.6.1 Where the Conditions of Carriage provide that we may pay a refund to you (but subject to any terms and conditions which apply to your Booking which may provide that you have no rights to a refund), such refund shall be paid to the Booker once the Booker has provided us with proof of payment. Any refund paid in accordance with this Article 4.6 shall discharge us from any further liability to refund and no other person shall be entitled to claim a further refund.

4. b) If part of the Ticket has been used, the difference between the fare paid and the fare due for the part of the carriage that has been used, together with any taxes or charges imposed by a government or other authority that are refundable (see Article 4.2.2 for further details), and any other refundable charges, fees or surcharges, less any reasonable service charges or cancellation fees.

4.6.4 If we or our Authorised Agent lose a Ticket or a part of it, we will be responsible for the loss but only up to a maximum of the fare paid for that Ticket. We will have no further responsibility or liability to you.

4.6.5 We may refuse a request for a refund if the request is not made within 14 (fourteen) Days of the expiry of the Ticket’s validity period.

• Is not returnable, unless we subsequently prove that the Damage was caused by, or contributed to by, the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of the deceased or injured Passenger or the person who received the advance payment; or the person who received the payment was not the person to whom such compensation should properly have been paid.

12. f) Save to the extent that applicable law may otherwise provide, where any advance payment paid pursuant to Article 12.1.2(d) above, or any part thereof, is returnable to us pursuant to Article 1.2(e)iii above, the person who received the payment concerned shall make the repayment to us immediately upon the relevant proof being established (in a court or otherwise), together with interest calculated from the date of receipt of the payment by that person until the date of repayment to us, at the then current judgment rate applicable in the court having jurisdiction.
