The advance payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days of the official identification of the person(s) entitled to compensation, shall not imply acknowledgement of liability and shall be deductable from the final amount payable for any liability in accordance with this Section, but shall not be reimbursable except in cases provided for in Art. 20 of the Montreal Convention or if the person(s) had no entitlement to compensation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transportation delays<\/strong><br \/>\nIn case of flight delays, the carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for such a damage is limited to 4.694 SDRs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baggage delays<\/strong><br \/>\nIn case of baggage delay, the airline is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1.000 SDRs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mishandling, loss or damage to baggage<\/strong><br \/>\nThe carrier is liable for the mishandling, loss or damage of the baggage up to 1.000 SDRs.<br \/>\nIn case of checked baggage, the airline is liable, unless the baggage was evidently faulty. In case of unchecked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Higher limits for baggage<\/strong><br \/>\nA passenger can benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest at check-in and by paying a supplementary fee. To ask for the &#8220;Maximum Value Declaration&#8221; document, please contact the call center.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baggage complaints<\/strong><br \/>\nIf the baggage is damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible. In case of damage to checked baggage, the passenger must write a complaint within seven days, whereas in case of delay, within 21 days from the date of withdrawal of the baggage by the passenger himself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Liability of contracting and actual carriers<\/strong><br \/>\nIf the carrier actually performing the flight is not the same as the contracting carrier, the passenger has the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of a carrier is indicated on the ticket, that carrier is the contracting party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deadlines for compensation claims<\/strong><br \/>\nAny compensation lawsuits must be filed in court within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft should have arrived.<br \/>\nThe rules described above are based on the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, which has been implemented in the Community though Regulation (EC) No 2027\/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No 889\/2002) and though the national legislation of the Member States.<\/p>\n<p>Air transportation of persons and baggage is regulated in Italy by European Union laws, current international agreements and the Air Navigation Code. Airline companies in the European Union are subject to (EU) Regulation no. 2027\/97, as modified from (EU) Regulation no. 889\/02, on the responsibility of the carrier; to (EU) Regulation no. 261\/04 regarding monetary compensation for denied boarding; to (EU) Regulation no. 1107\/06 on the rights of persons with disabilities and reduced mobility; and to the 1929 Warsaw Convention and the 1999 Montreal Convention regarding international air transportation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Useful information on the procedures to be followed both on the ground and on board in relation to safety&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE FLIGHT AND OF YOUR CO-PASSENGERS, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY<\/p>\n<p>In compliance with Italian and international legislation, the Captain is authorized to implement any measure considered appropriate for the safety of the flight and passengers: every passenger on board is obliged to follow the instructions of the Captain, also communicated to them through the Flight Attendant. It is therefore essential to comply with the instructions of the Captain and the instructions given by ground staff in order to avoid breaching a rule or in some cases possibly also committing a crime.<\/p>\n<p>There are several forms of behavior which are inappropriate and not acceptable in terms of safety both on board and during ground operations (prior to boarding and on board).<\/p>\n<p>On the ground<br \/>\nOur staff will warn anyone demonstrating behavior that is inappropriate or dangerous and that is not acceptable. Should such behavior continue, those responsible will not be permitted to board and they will be reported to the Airport Authority whereupon relevant action will be taken.<\/p>\n<p>On board<br \/>\nOur crews are professionally trained to manage a variety of situations of danger resulting from, for example, the abuse of alcohol, drugs, from the use of offensive language, violent and\/or threatening behavior. Anyone on board demonstrating inappropriate behavior will receive a &#8220;Regulatory Infringement Warning&#8221; from the Captain (also through the Flight Attendants) who may, if this behavior persists and threatens the safety of others and\/or the safety of the flight, also order a limitation of personal freedom of the passenger. At the destination, the passenger will then be handed over to the local authorities for relevant action.<\/p>\n<p>Smoking \/ Electronic Cigarettes<br \/>\nFor flight safety and the health of passengers, smoking aboard the aircraft is strictly prohibited. Specifically, smoking in the toilets (and in other defined areas) is therefore punishable by law. This prohibition includes electronic cigarettes in accordance with the IATA (International Air Transport Association) procedure of reference from 1 April 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Alcohol and drugs<br \/>\nBoarding will not be permitted to any persons under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Alcoholic beverages will not be served on board to passengers under the age of 16 or to those manifesting signs of potentially dangerous and\/or unruly behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Emergency equipment<br \/>\nIt is forbidden to damage, tamper with or remove emergency equipment (e.g. life jackets, safety belts, etc.). Such behavior may endanger the safety of the flight and other passengers and as such are punishable offences.<\/p>\n<p>Cabin and passengers<br \/>\nThe Company will take legal action against any passengers responsible for damaging\/removing any system\/part of the cabin (e.g. seats, entertainment system, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Electrical\/electronic apparatuses<br \/>\nThe use of electric\/electronic apparatus that may interfere with the performance of on-board systems is strictly prohibited. The use of such apparatus is only permitted on the basis of the information from time to time provided by the crew: upon closing of the doors on the ground passengers must ensure that such apparatus is switched off.<\/p>\n<p>Dangerous materials\/items<br \/>\nIt is strictly forbidden to bring on board materials, hazardous substances or prohibited items, as per the list contained in the information shown on the flight ticket and in notices displayed in the airport reception areas.<br \/>\nFalse information, offensive language and harassing behavior.<\/p>\n<p>It is strictly forbidden to disseminate false information that may endanger the safety of the flight, cause annoyance to passengers, crew members or ground staff, offend the integrity of the Captain or show disrespect towards crew members.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;COMPLAINTS&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Passengers who wish to make a complaint may do so by sending written notice to the Carrier at: <a href=\"mailto:management@flightsandtravels.ch\">management@flightsandtravels.ch<\/a>, within a reasonable time from the time and date of the flight specified on the ticket. This is in order to allow the Carrier to take any necessary action, and is also in the Passenger\u2019s own interests.<\/p>\n<p>Complaints must be accompanied by all supporting documentation relating to any expenses incurred, and to any personal injury and damage sustained, to enable the Carrier to make a fair assessment of any request for compensation.<\/p>\n<p>In order to reduce time and legal costs in the definition of complaints, the Carrier promotes the amicable settlement of disputes through the use of alternative dispute resolution means, which may also involve communication at a distance.
