Rule 130: Fares
 
  1. General
    Fares apply only for carriage from the airport at the point of origin to the airport at point of destination and do not include ground transfer service between airports or between airports and city centers except where Rule 30 specifically provides that such ground transfer service will be furnished without additional charge.
  2. Applicable Fares
    1. Except as provided in (C) (1) below, where a fare is published via the desired routing from point of origin to point of destination, such fare is applicable over such route notwithstanding that it is higher or lower than the combination of intermediate fares via the same routing. For the purpose of this Rule, a published fare includes a fare obtained by combining a published arbitrary and a published international fare. Where no through one-factor fare is published from point of origin to point of destination via the route of movement for the class of service and the type of aircraft used, the applicable fare for such transportation shall be constructed as provided below:
      One Class of Service: Where the journey from point of origin to point of destination is in one class of service, the applicable fare shall be the lowest combination of fares via the route of movement applicable to the transportation used but in no event shall such constructed fare exceed the through one-way fare applicable to or from a more distant point via the same routing.
    2. All published fares governed by this tariff and all fares constructed in accordance with this tariff are applicable only when in compliance with the provisions governing travel via a higher-rated intermediate point (Paragraph (C) (3)). Mileage routings (see Maximum Permitted Mileage Tariff No. MPM-1, C.A.B. No. 424, NTA (A) No. 239) may be applied to any published or constructed fare; However, if a diagrammatic or linear routing is specified in connection with a fare, such routing must be observed for that portion of the transportation covered by that fare.
  3. Construction of Fares
    1. Combining Domestic U.S. Normal Fares
      1. Domestic U.S. Normal Fares
        A normal fare applicable within the U.S.A. may be combined end on end with an International fare to construct a through fare, which is less than the published International through fare from point of origin to point of destination, provided travel is via the fare construction points.
      2. Domestic U.S. Special Fares
        1. A special fare applicable within the U.S.A. may be combined with an International fare to construct a through fare, which is less than the published fare from point of origin to point of destination, provided that 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 required by the special fare within the U.S.A. will not be applicable when that fare is combined with an International Inclusive tour fare having a minimum tour price of the same or a higher amount.
        2. Passengers traveling under a fare constructed in (I) above may be routed via any gateway city regardless of the fare construction point(s).
    2. Combining Arbitraries with International Fares
      When a through fare is not published via a desired routing between a point in Canada or the U.S.A. and a point in area 2 or 3, the fare for such transportation will be constructed by combining the carrier's published arbitrary and published International fare for the fare class applicable to the transportation. Passenger may be routed via any gateway city regardless of the fare construction points(s).
    3. Travel Via A Higher-Rated Intermediate Point
      1. Except where specified, no fare governed by this tariff is applicable for travel via a higher-rated intermediate point on an itinerary. An intermediate point on an itinerary is a higher-rated point when the normal fare between such intermediate point and:
        1. The point of origin of the itinerary;
        2. The point of destination of the itinerary; or
        3. Another intermediate point of the itinerary is higher than the normal fare between the points of origin and destination of the itinerary.
        The only time a point on a specified routing for a published fare will be considered as a higher intermediate point is when a stopover occurs at a higher rated intermediate point on an itinerary.
      2. Except as provided in (c), (d), (e) and (f) below, when travel is via a higher-rated intermediate point, the applicable fare for the itinerary will be the highest of the fares applicable between such intermediate point and:
        1. The point of origin of the itinerary;
        2. The point of destination of the itinerary; or
        3. Another intermediate point of the itinerary.
      3. For Travel to a point in the U.S.A. which commences and is paid for in the United Kingdom or Ireland and which is via a point in Europe (other than in the United Kingdom or Ireland), the provisions of paragraph (c) above will not apply. The fare for such travel will be the combination of the applicable fare between the point in the United Kingdom or Ireland and the point in Europe and the fare between the point in Europe and the point in the United States.
      4. When a passenger purchases a one-way ticket for transportation via a higher-rated intermediate point, the fare for such transportation will be constructed by calculating the round trip fare for transportation via the higher-rated intermediate point and subtracting there from the one-way fare for direct (not involving a higher-rated intermediate point) transportation between the point involved.
      5. For travel between a point in the U.S.A. (other than a point in California, Oregon or Washington) and a point in area 2 or 3, which is via a point in California, Oregon or Washington, the provisions of paragraph (c) will not apply. The fare for such travel will be the lowest fare constructed by combining:
        1. The applicable fare between the point of origin or destination in the U.S.A. and Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco or Seattle; and
        2. The applicable fare between those points and the point of origin or destination in area 2 or 3.
        Travel at a fare so constructed need not be via the point over which the fare was constructed.
      6. For travel between a point in the U.S.A. and a point in Italy when travel is via the higher-rated intermediate point of Rome, the fare for such travel will be the fare applicable between the point of origin and the point of destination. The higher fare shall be assessed only if the passenger makes a stopover at Rome for which a higher fare is published.
    4. Round Trip Fares
      1. When a round trip ticket is purchased prior to commencement of carriage, the fare for such trip will be the round trip fare published for the desired routing and the class of service used. If no round trip fare is published, the applicable fare will be the sum of the one-way fares published for the segments of the desired routing and for the class of service used.
      2. When transportation is partially via fares governed by this tariff and partially via fares published in other tariffs, 50 percent of a round trip fare governed by this tariff may be combined with 50 percent of a round trip fare published in other tariffs to construct a through round trip or circle trip fare provided that:
        1. Fares which, by their terms, are not combinable with other fares, shall not be used in the construction of round trip fares; and
        2. The most restrictive provisions applicable to any fare used in the construction will apply to the entire trip.
        This provision will not apply when any part of the round trip is via the services of a nonscheduled carrier or on a charter or military flight.
    5. Circle Trip Fares
        1. When a circle trip ticket is purchased prior to commencement of carriage, the fare for such trip will be the sum of 50 percent of the applicable round trip fares for the class of service to be used for the respective sections of the itinerary, constructed from point of origin via the route of travel to point of destination, that produces the lowest fare for the circle trip for the call of service used an/or;
        2. When Transportation is partially via fares governed by this tariff and partially via fares published in other tariffs, 50 percent of a round trip fare published in other tariffs to construct a through round trip or circle trip fare provided that:

          (aa) Fares which, by their terms, are not combinable with other fares, shall not be used in the construction of circle trip fares; and

          (bb) The most restrictive provisions applicable to any fare used in the construction will apply to the entire trip.

          This provision will not apply when any part of the circle trip is via the services of a nonscheduled carrier or on a charter or military flight.
        3. If a circle trip so constructed is less than the highest direct route round trip fare applicable via the same class of service between any two points on the circle trip route, such highest direct round trip fare shall apply.
      2. Round trip fares may only be use to construct a circle trip fare in accordance with the provisions governing travel via a higher-rated intermediate point in paragraph (3) above.
      3. Partly via air and partly via sea when tickets are purchased prior to commencement of carriage for a circle trip for combined air and sea travel, the air fare for each one-way section of the air journey will be fifty percent (50 percent) of the all year round trip fare published in tariffs governed by this tariff and applicable between the points and via the class of service use. A break in the circle trip is permitted to allow passengers to make their own way by any means of transportation between airports and adjacent seaports.
        1. When the point of departure and final destination are the same, the sum of 50 percent of the applicable round trip fare from the point of departure to each outer point of the open jaw, and
        2. Where the points of departure and final destination are not the same, the sum of 50 percent of the applicable round trip fare from the point of departure to the outer point of the outward section plus 50 percent of the round trip fare from the point of destination to the outer point of the inbound section.
