verify in the presence of the passenger the contents of
his baggage, and in the case of unaccompanied baggage

Passenger must not include in checked baggage items
which are likely to endanger the aircraft, persons or
property, which are likely to be damaged by air
carriage or which are unsuitably packed or which items
by their particular nature (fragile, perishable,

(F) Definitions
"Airline designator code"

73 | P a g e
Rule 116 Interline Baggage Acceptance
Tariff: ET1 CTA No. 504 DOT No. 750
Carrier: Ethiopian Airlines – ET

An identification code comprised of two-characters


which is used for commercial and traffic purposes
such as reservations, schedules, timetables,
ticketing, tariffs and airport display systems.
airline designators are assigned by IATA. When
this code appears on a ticket, it reflects the
carrier that is marketing the flight, which might
be different from the carrier operating the
flight.
"Baggage rules"
The conditions associated with the acceptance of
baggage, services incidental to the transportation
of baggage, allowances and all related charges.
for example, baggage rules may address the
following topics:
. The maximum weight and dimensions of
passenger bags, if applicable, both checked
and unchecked;
. The number of checked and unchecked passenger
bags that can be transported and the
applicable charges;
. Excess and oversized baggage charges;
. Charges related to check-in, collection and
delivery of checked baggage;
. Acceptance and charges related to special
items, e.g. surfboards, pets, bicycles, etc.;
. Baggage provisions related to prohibited or
unacceptable items, including embargoes;
. Terms or conditions that would alter or
impact the baggage allowances and charges
applicable to passengers (e.g. frequent flyer
status, early check-in, pre-purchasing
baggage allowances with a particular credit
card); and,
. Other rules governing treatment of baggage at
stopover points, including passengers subject
to special baggage allowances or charges,
etc.
"Interline agreement":
An agreement between two or more carriers to
co-ordinate the transportation of passengers and
their baggage from the flight of one air carrier
to the flight of another air carrier (through to
the next point of stopover).
"Interline itinerary":
All flights reflected on a single ticket involving
multiple air carriers. Only travel on a single
ticket is subject to the agency's approach
provided the origin or the ultimate ticketed
destination is a point in Canada.
"Interline travel":
Travel involving multiple air carriers listed on a
single ticket that is purchased via a single
transaction.
"Single ticket":
A document that permits travel from origin to
destination. It may include interline/code-share
and intra-line segments. It may also include

74 | P a g e
Rule 116 Interline Baggage Acceptance
Tariff: ET1 CTA No. 504 DOT No. 750
Carrier: Ethiopian Airlines – ET

end-to-end combinations (i.e., standalone fares


that can be bought separately but combined
together to form one price).
"Summary page at the end of an online purchase":
A page on a carrier's web site which summarizes
the details of a ticket purchase transaction just
after the passenger has agreed to purchase the
ticket from the carrier and has provided a form of
payment.
"Ultimate ticketed destination":
In situations where a passenger's origin is a
non-Canadian point and the itinerary includes at
least one stop in Canada, as well as at least one
stop outside Canada. If the stop in Canada is the
farthest checked point and the stop is more than
24 hours, the agency would consider the ultimate
ticketed destination to be Canada.
Carrier definitions (various)
"Down line carrier ":
Any carrier, other than the selecting carrier, who
is identified as providing interline
transportation to the passenger by virtue of the
passenger’s ticket.
"Marketing carrier":
The carrier that sells flights under its code.
"Most significant carrier (MSC)":
Is determined by a methodology, established by
IATA (resolution 302), which establishes, for each
portion of a passenger's itinerary where baggage
is checked through to a new stopover point, which
carrier will be performing the most significant
part of the service. For travelers under the
resolution 302 system, the baggage rules of the
MSC will apply. For complex itineraries involving
multiple checked baggage points, there may be more
than one MSC, resulting in the application of
differing baggage rules through an itinerary.
"Most significant carrier (MSC)-IATA resolution 302 as
conditioned by the agency":
In this instance, the MSC is determined by
applying IATA resolution 302 methodology as
conditioned by the agency. The agency's
reservation has stipulated that only a single set
of baggage rules may apply to any given interline
itinerary. The aim of the agency's reservation is
to allow the selecting carrier to use the MSC
methodology to determine which carrier's baggage
rules apply to an international interline
itinerary to or from Canada, while reinforcing the
role of tariffs in the determination of which
carrier's rules apply.
"Operating carrier":
The carrier that operates the actual flight.
"Participating carrier(s)":
Includes both the selecting carrier and down line
carriers who have been identified as providing
Interline transportation to the passenger by
virtue of the passenger's ticket.

The carrier whose baggage rules apply to the
entire interline itinerary.
"Selecting carrier":
The carrier whose designator code is identified on
the first segment of the passenger's ticket at the
beginning of an itinerary issued on a single
ticket whose origin or ultimate destination is in
Canada.

from the point of origin to the point of
destination, provided that:
(i) The passenger complies with all
conditions (e.g. period of validity,
minimum/maximum stay, advance purchase
requirements, group size, etc.) Of the
special fare,
exception: any minimum tour price

(a) When tickets are purchased prior to
commencement of carriage for a round trip or
circle trip for combined air and sea travel,
the air fare for each one way section of the
air journey will be fifty (50) percent of the
all year round trip fare published in tariffs
governing by this tariff and applicable
between the points and via the class of
service used. A break in the round trip or
circle trip is permitted to allow passengers
to make their own way by means of
transportation between airports and adjacent
seaports.
(b) The fares specified above will apply only via
the routings published in connection with the
all-year fares in tariffs making reference to
this tariff for governing provisions.
exception: when an excursion fare is used,
the routing published in
connection with such excursion
fare will apply.
(H) Routing
(1) Unless otherwise provided in carrier(s) tariffs,
fares apply only to the service and routings of
carrier(s) published in connection therewith. If
there is more than one routing at the same fare,
the passenger, prior to issuance of the ticket,
may specify the routing, and in respect to any
open date portion of such ticket, may specify
optional routings. If no routing is specified by
the passenger, carrier may determine the routing.
(2) Routings are published in one direction only, but
apply for carriage in either direction, unless
otherwise specified, and only to the fares
published in connection therewith. An
intermediate point(s) specified along the routing
may be omitted provided that successive segments
are flown non-stop on a single carrier named in
the respective segments along the published
routing.
(I) Higher intermediate fares
(1) Normal and special fares
When reference is made to the higher intermediate
fare check, the following procedures apply:
(a) SITI/SOTI transactions: the higher
intermediate fare check applies only to
intermediate stopover points.
exception: when the ticket is issued in
Western Africa, higher
intermediate points shall be
checked from all ticketed points
en-route in Western Africa Except
when travel en-route is via a
point(s) in Angola, Nigeria and/or
Zaire, the higher intermediate

82 | P a g e
Rule 130 Fares
Tariff: ET1 CTA No. 504 DOT No. 750
Carrier: Ethiopian Airlines – ET

points shall be checked only if a


stopover is made at such point.
(b) SITO/SOTO transactions: the higher
intermediate fare check applies to all
intermediate ticketed points.
(c) A stopover takes place when a passenger
breaks the journey at an intermediate point
and is not scheduled to depart on the day of
arrival, or within 24 hours of arrival if
there is no connection on the day of arrival.
(2) Normal fares
(a) A through normal fare between origin and
destination must not be lower than:
(i) The normal fare between the point of
origin and any intermediate ticketed
point along the routing:
(ii) The normal fare between the destination
and any intermediate ticketed point
along the routing:
(iii) The normal fare between any two ticketed
intermediate points along the routing.
(b) When the direct normal fare for a segment of
an itinerary is lower than an intermediate
point normal fare, the direct normal fare
must be raised to the highest of any such
intermediate point normal fare.
(c) When the total of ticketed point mile's for
an itinerary exceeds the MPM, the normal fare
must be surcharged in accordance with the
procedures for excess mileage surcharges,
C.A.B. 424 maximum permitted mileage and
airline tariff publishing company, agent. If
the routing passes through a higher
intermediate ticketed point, the appropriate
fare to be surcharged is the normal fare
between the origin and destination of that
segment which has been raised to the level of
the higher intermediate ticketed point normal
fare.
(d) All conditions of the normal fare between
origin and destination apply.
(e) When comparing normal fares, fares of the
same type shall mean the same class of
service and the same seasonal application.
(3) Special fares
(a) If there is no higher fare between:
(i) Point of origin and any intermediate
ticketed point; or
(ii) Destination point and any intermediate
ticketed point,
then the special fare (surcharged, if
necessary) between origin and
destination applies.
(b) If there is a higher normal fare between:
(i) point of origin and any intermediate
ticketed point; or
(ii) Destination point and any intermediate
ticketed point,

83 | P a g e
Rule 130 Fares
Tariff: ET1 CTA No. 504 DOT No. 750
Carrier: Ethiopian Airlines – ET

then the special fare must be raised to


the level of such higher normal fare
(surcharged, if necessary) unless:
(iii) The same or lower special fare of the
same type exists between such points, in
which case the special fare (surcharged,
if necessary) between origin and
destination applies; or
(iv) A higher special fare of the same type
exists between such points in which
cases such higher special fare
(surcharged, if necessary) applies.
(c) When comparing special fares, fares of the
same fare type shall mean the same class of
service, the same seasonably application, the
same general conditions, except ticket
validity and minimum stay requirements, and
limited to:
(i) Late booking fare or
APEX fare or
PEX fare or
excursion fare
(ii) GIT fare or
individual IT fare or
excursion fare
(iii) Public group fare or
excursion fare
(d) In the case of more than one special fare of
the same type for any given sector, the fare
with conditions most similar to those of the
special fare between the terminal points is
to be used for comparison.
(e) All conditions of the special fare between
origin and destination apply.
(K) One way backhaul rule
When a passenger purchases a one way ticket for
transportation via a higher rated intermediate stopover
point (as defined in section "higher intermediate
fares"), the fare for such transportation will be
constructed by calculating the round trip fare for
transportation from the point of origin to the higher
rated intermediate stopover point and subtracting
therefrom the one way fare for direct (not involving a
higher rated intermediate point) transportation between
the point of origin and destination.
(L) Combination of international flight coupons from
separate tickets
Two or more international flight coupons from separate
tickets will not be accepted for carriage on a direct
service between the terminal points on the two coupons
at less than the applicable through fare.
(M) Ground transfers
Published fares do not include ground transfers service
between airports nor between airport and town centers
unless carrier's tariff specifically provided that such
ground transfers service will be furnished without
additional charge. (see Rule 30-ground transfer
service herein).
