ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion entirely within the country of origin or destination. For such passengers on a journey to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, the Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the carrier shall not invoke the liability in Article 22 (1) of the Convention with regard to reasonable compensatory damage claims arising under Article 17 of the Convention or avail itself of any defense under Article 20 (1) of the Convention with respect to the portion of such claim not exceeding 100,000 Special Drawing Rights. For passengers traveling by a carrier not a party to such special contracts or on a journey not to, from, or having an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, liability of the carrier for death or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to approximately U.S. $10,000 or U.S. $20,000. The names of carriers, parties to such special contracts, are available at all ticket offices of such carriers and may be examined upon 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 such special contracts of carriage. For further information please consult your airlines or insurance company representative. International travel usually requires the presentation of visas, passports and other credentials.
