Rebooking and refunds
Given that a passenger has a right to information on flight times and schedule changes, the carrier will make reasonable efforts to inform passengers of schedule irregularities and to the extent possible, the reason for the schedule irregularities.
In the event of a schedule irregularity, within the carrier’s control, the carrier will present the passenger with the following options :
- Carry the passenger to the destination named on the ticket, or applicable portion thereof, within a reasonable amount of time, on another of its passenger aircraft or in a different class of service on which space is available, without additional charge, regardless of the class of service in which the passenger was booked; or,
- Reroute the passenger to the destination named on the ticket, or applicable portion thereof, on its own transportation services within a reasonable amount of time. If the fare for the revised routing or class of service is higher than the fare paid by the passenger, the carrier will require no additional payment from the passenger. If the fare for the revised routing is in a lower class of service, a refund will be made for the difference in fare. The refund will be made to the purchaser of the ticket. The form of refund will be the same as the form of payment used for the ticket. The refund will be based on the total value of the ticket; or,
- Reroute the passenger to the destination named on the ticket, or applicable portion thereof, on another air carrier’s transportation services, including interline or, where possible and necessary, non-interline carriers, within a reasonable amount of time. If the fare for the revised routing or class of service is higher than the fare paid by the passenger, the carrier will require no additional payment from the passenger. If the fare for the revised routing is in a lower class of service, a refund will be made for the difference in fare. The refund will be made to the purchaser of the ticket. The form of refund will be the same as the form of payment used for the ticket. The refund will be based on the total value of the ticket; or,
- If the passenger chooses to no longer travel as the schedule irregularity results in the loss of purpose of travel or if the carrier is unable to perform the option stated in (a), (b) or (c) above within a reasonable amount of time, the carrier will transport the passenger to the point of origin named on the ticket and refund the full amount of the ticket in accordance with Rule 125(B)2.(a), Refunds, Involuntary Refunds, irrespective if travel has commenced, or subject to passenger’s agreement, offer a travel voucher for future travel in the same amount;
