Failure to comply with this provision may result in removal from the aircraft and refusal of future travel.
    13. New Pacific Airlines reserves the right in its sole judgment to refuse to transport, on a temporary or permanent basis, any passenger who has been removed or refused transportation for any conduct describe in this rule.
    14. Any passenger who, by reason of engaging in any of the above activities in Rule 60 Refusal to Transport, causes New Pacific Airlines any loss, damage or expense of any kind, consents and acknowledges that he or she shall reimburse New Pacific Airlines for any such loss, damage or expense. In addition, the activities enumerated in (J) shall constitute a material breach of contract, for which New Pacific Airlines shall be excused from performing its obligations under this contract of carriage.
    15. Non-Smoking policy Smoking (including use of electronic simulated smoking materials and smokeless cigarettes) is not permitted on any flights operated by New Pacific Airlines, as required under 49 U.S.C.

Individuals are subject to FAA enforcement action and substantial monetary penalties for violation of this law and related regulations. By purchasing a ticket or accepting transportation, the passenger agrees to comply with New Pacific Airlines's policy on smoking and use of other smokeless materials, as well as applicable federal law, and New Pacific Airlines reserves the right to seek reimbursement from any passenger whose failure to do so causes New Pacific Airlines any loss, damage or expense.

    Rule 23. Liability for Delays, Cancellations, and Denied Boarding

    1. Liability of carrier Except to the extent provided in (D) of this rule, New Pacific Airlines shall not be liable for failing to operate any flight according to schedule or for changing the schedule of any flight, with or without notice to the passenger. This exclusion from liability includes actual and consequential damages.
    2. Options of passengers The provisions of this rule apply only to passengers who have a valid ticket reflecting a confirmed reservation on a flight affected by a schedule irregularity.
    3. Carrier options for schedule irregularity In the event of a Schedule Irregularity, New Pacific Airlines will, for a passenger with a confirmed reservation and ticket for such flight, take one of the following actions:
      • For local passenger:

        • At carrier’s sole discretion provide transportation to his/her destination or next ticketed stopover point on another carrier's flight in the same or higher class of service than reflected on the passenger's ticket at no additional charge; or
        • Refund the unused portion of the passenger's ticket in accordance with Rule 24, paragraph (E) (Involuntary Refunds), if requested by the Passenger.
      • For transit passengers connecting from a New Pacific Airlines flight:
        • Transport passenger to his/her destination or next ticketed stopover point on another New Pacific Airlines flight on which space is available in the same or higher class of service than reflected on the passenger's ticket at no additional charge; or
        • If acceptable to the passenger, provide transportation to his/her destination or next ticketed stopover point on another carrier's flight in the same or higher class of service than reflected on the passenger ticket at no additional charge; or
        • If on the outbound leg, return passenger to city of origin and refund the entire ticket in the original form of payment. If on the return leg, refund unused portions of the ticket in accordance with Rule 24.
      • New Pacific Airlines may, at its option and if acceptable to the passenger, transport a passenger affected by a schedule irregularity to his/her destination or next ticketed stopover (or its CO-terminal point specified in Rule 24) via surface transportation, or a combination of surface transportation, New Pacific Airlines flights and other carriers' flights, at no additional charge.
      • Except to the extent provided in this rule and subject to the Warsaw convention and/or Montreal convention, where applicable, New Pacific Airlines shall not be liable for any schedule irregularity.
    4. Change in schedule Flight schedules are subject to change without notice, and the times shown on New Pacific Airlines's published schedules, tickets, timetable and advertising are not guaranteed and form no part of this contract of carriage. At times, without prior notice to passengers, New Pacific Airlines may need to substitute other aircraft and may change, add, or omit intermediate stops. New Pacific Airlines cannot guarantee that passengers will make connections to other flights by New Pacific Airlines or by other carriers. In the event of flight schedules changes or service withdrawal, New Pacific Airlines will attempt to notify affected passengers as early as possible. New Pacific Airlines will promptly provide passengers the best available information regarding known delays, cancellations, misconnections and diversions, but New Pacific Airlines is not liable for any misstatements or other errors or omissions in connection with providing such information. No employee, agent or representative of New Pacific Airlines can bind New Pacific Airlines legally by reason of any statements relating to flight status or other information. When a ticketed, confirmed passenger will be delayed because of a change in New Pacific Airlines's schedule as defined in Rule 1 (Schedule Change), New Pacific Airlines will arrange to:
      • Transport the passenger to his/her destination or next ticketed stopover point on another New Pacific Airlines flight on which space is available in the same or higher class of service than reflected on the passenger's ticket at no additional charge; or
      • Refund according to Rule 24 Exception 1: When a New Pacific Airlines schedule change results in the cancellation of all New Pacific Airlines service between two cities, New Pacific Airlines will reroute passengers holding confirmed reservations on New Pacific Airlines between such cities over the lines of one or more other carriers at no additional cost to the passenger.
        Exception 2: Change in schedule does not include force majeure events.
    5. Passengers rerouted by other carriers When passengers are involuntarily rerouted on New Pacific Airlines by other carriers, New Pacific Airlines will have no obligation to accept another carrier's ticket which does not reflect a confirmed reservation on New Pacific Airlines, unless the issuing carrier reissues the ticket for any changes in routing. In the event such carrier is not available to do so, New Pacific Airlines reserves the right to reroute the passenger only over its own lines between the points named on the original ticket.
    6. Amenities/services for delayed passengers New Pacific Airlines will furnish amenities to passengers holding reservation on a flight which is delayed more than four (4) hours, or canceled. The type of amenities given will be dependent upon the length of delay and shall not exceed a period of twenty-four (24) hours from the time of occurrence.
      Exception:New Pacific Airlines cannot provide the amenities outlined in this section if air traffic control, a weather situation, or another extraordinary circumstance beyond New Pacific Airlines's control occurs at any city within the affected passenger's intended flight routing. New Pacific Airlines will attempt to advise the affected passenger of weather problems before departure, but advises passengers to check weather conditions along their route and plan accordingly.
      • More than four (4) hours: If New Pacific Airlines has caused the passenger's flight to be delayed more than four (4) hours, New Pacific Airlines's airport customer service agent will provide the passenger with instructions to ensure that New Pacific Airlines's customer care team can promptly contact the passenger via email or letter with an apology and relevant discount off a future New Pacific Airlines airline flight.
      • Canceled: If the passenger's flight is canceled, and the city where the cancellation occurs is 100 miles away from the passenger's home, hotel accommodation may be provided. Accommodations include single or family rooms and round-trip ground transportation to an airport area hotel if such ground transportation is not furnished by the hotel. New Pacific Airlines will provide at its option either one night's hotel accommodations or, if no hotel accommodation are provided and upon the passenger's request only, reimbursement for one night's hotel accommodations in the form of an electronic travel certificate that may be applied to future travel on New Pacific Airlines up to a maximum amount determined by New Pacific Airlines. Such accommodations will only be provided when a passenger incurs a delay that is expected to exceed four hours between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. local time. Where hotel accommodations have been offered but not accepted by a passenger for whatever reasons, New Pacific Airlines is not liable to reimburse the passenger for expenses relating to alternative hotel accommodations secured independently by the passenger. Hotel accommodations will not be furnished to a passenger whose trip is interrupted at a city which is his/her permanent domicile, origin point, or stopover point or when such cancellation is due to circumstances outside New Pacific Airlines's control, including due to force majeure events. New Pacific Airlines will provide ground transportation to the place of lodging via public conveyance if such ground transportation is not furnished by the hotel. Where ground transportation has been offered but not accepted by a passenger for whatever reason, New Pacific Airlines is not liable to reimburse the passenger for expenses relating to alternative ground transportation secured by the passenger.
      • The sole and exclusive remedies for a passenger who has a claim under this rule shall be those expressly provided for in this contract of carriage. The passenger shall have no other claim against New Pacific Airlines under law or equity for actual, compensatory, or punitive damages.
    7. Notwithstanding the provisions of this rule, New Pacific Airlines will not be obligated to accept for any purposes under this rule passenger tickets or related transportation documents issued by any carrier which is in substantial default of its interline obligations or that voluntarily or involuntarily has become the subject of bankruptcy proceedings defined as (a "Defaulting carrier"), except that tickets issued by the defaulting carrier or its sales agent prior to the default will be accepted solely for transportation on New Pacific Airlines, provided such tickets were issued by the defaulting carrier in its capacity as New Pacific Airlines's agent and specified transportation via New Pacific Airlines. When tickets are accepted, no adjustments in fare will be made which would require New Pacific Airlines to refund money to the passenger. New Pacific Airlines will accept revenue passengers of a defaulting carrier under the following conditions:
      • Acceptance for transportation will be on New Pacific Airlines's route system only, between the points named in a given flight coupon of the defaulting carrier.
      • Transportation will be on a standby basis only and subject to the accommodation of all ticketed passengers whether or not they hold confirmed reserved space.
      • Travel restrictions applicable to the traffic documents of the defaulting carrier shall apply.
      • Traffic documents of the defaulting carrier will be honored no later than twelve (12) months from the date validated.
      • No traffic document, or portion thereof, of the defaulting carrier will be refunded under any circumstance.
    8. In the event of a strike or work stoppage that causes any cancellation or suspension of operations of any other carrier, the provisions of this rule will not apply with respect to passengers holding tickets for transportation on that carrier. New Pacific Airlines may, in the event of a force majeure event, without notice cancel, terminate, divert, postpone, or delay any flight or the right of carriage or reservation (whether or not confirmed) and determine if any departure or landing should be made, without any liability on the part of New Pacific Airlines except to refund any unused portion of the ticket in the original form of payment in accordance with involuntary refund rules.
    9. Limitation of liability Except to the extent provided above in this Rule 90, New Pacific Airlines shall not be liable for any failure or delay in operating any flight, with or without notice, for reasons of safety or when advisable, in its sole discretion, due to force majeure events or any event not reasonably foreseen, anticipated or predicted by New Pacific Airlines.
    10. The provision of services in addition to those specifically set forth in this rule to all or some passengers shall not be construed as a waiver of New Pacific Airlines's rights or an expansion of its obligations. Neither shall any delay on the part of New Pacific Airlines in exercising or enforcing its rights under this rule be construed as a waiver of such rights.
    11. Rerouting changes requested by passenger For the terms and conditions applicable to rerouting changes requested by a passenger, including those requested due to delays or cancellations, see Rule 6.
    12. Denied boarding compensation definition and process

      Overbooking Flights Because passengers with confirmed reservations on a flight sometimes fail to show, New Pacific Airlines reserves the right to sell more tickets for travel on each flight than there are seats available on the aircraft. In some cases, this may result in a flight in which New Pacific Airlines cannot accommodate one or more passengers with confirmed reservations (an “oversold flight”). New Pacific Airlines may deny boarding to passengers with confirmed reservations on an oversold flight as set forth in this rule. The rights of passengers who are denied boarding shall be governed by this rule.

      Request for Volunteers Before denying boarding to any passenger holding a confirmed reservation on an oversold flight, New Pacific Airlines will ask other passengers on the flight to voluntarily give up their seat in exchange for compensation in an amount and form to be determined by New Pacific Airlines in its sole discretion. If a sufficient number of volunteers agree to give up their seats in response to New Pacific Airlines’s offer, then no passenger with a confirmed reservation will be involuntarily denied boarding due to the oversale of the flight. If there are more volunteers than required, selection of the volunteer(s) to receive compensation will be determined in New Pacific Airlines’s sole discretion.

    13. Involuntary denied boarding If an insufficient number of passengers volunteer to give up their seats in response to New Pacific Airlines's offer, New Pacific Airlines may involuntarily deny boarding to one or more passengers on the oversold flight according to the following boarding priority Rule
      • Passengers holding tickets for travel in Business Cabin and passengers holding tickets purchased under a New Pacific Airlines corporate travel agreement will be accommodated before other passengers holding tickets and/or boarding passes for confirmed space in the coach cabin.
      • Passengers with boarding passes Subject to the terms set forth in Rule 90(C)(1) and (4), passengers holding boarding passes who check in and present themselves at the departure gate in compliance with rule 16 will be accommodated before passengers traveling in the same cabin who have not been issued boarding passes or who fail to comply with applicable check-in requirements. Subject to the availability of seats on the aircraft, boarding passes may be obtained by passengers who hold tickets for confirmed reserved space in the following manner:
        • For passengers traveling on electronic tickets, through the online check-in feature on np.com within 24 hours of scheduled departure.
        • For passengers traveling on electronic tickets, through a New Pacific Airlines airport kiosk within four hours of scheduled departure.
        • From a New Pacific Airlines airport ticket counter and/or the check-in desk located in the departure area.
      • Passengers without boarding passes Passengers with confirmed reservations who have not been issued a boarding pass and present themselves at the departure gate in compliance with Rule 16 will be accommodated according to the following priority rules:
        • Passengers who have been rebooked to the present flight as a result of an irregular operation (e.g., delay, cancellation of a previously booked flight).

          Within each of the foregoing groups, passengers are prioritized first by class of service and then by time of check-in.

      • Special needs passengers Because of the special needs of passengers with disabilities, unaccompanied minors, and aged or infirmed passengers, and active members of the U.S. Armed forces on travel orders, New Pacific Airlines Reserves the right to accommodate such passengers without regard to the boarding priorities established by this provision.
    14. Transportation for passengers denied boarding New Pacific Airlines will provide transportation to passengers who volunteer to relinquish their seats or who are denied boarding involuntarily due to the oversale of a flight as follows:
      • Next available flight New Pacific Airlines will transport the passenger on its next flight on which space is available to the passenger's next stopover, or if none, to the passenger's destination, at no additional cost to the passenger.
      • Transportation on other airlines At New Pacific Airlines's sole discretion, New Pacific Airlines may instead arrange for transportation on any other carrier or combination of carriers to the passenger's next stopover, or if none, to the passenger's destination, at no additional cost to the passenger.
      • Overnight stay required If the transportation provided to a passenger pursuant to this section requires that the passenger stay overnight before continuing his/her travel, New Pacific Airlines will provide hotel accommodations to the passenger at no additional cost. If hotel accommodations are unavailable, New Pacific Airlines will compensate the passenger with a credit voucher valid for future purchases from New Pacific Airlines in an amount commensurate in value with the local average contracted hotel rate up to $100 USD, to be determined by New Pacific Airlines.
    15. Compensation for involuntary denied boarding When a passenger with a confirmed reservation is involuntarily denied boarding on an oversold flight pursuant to this rule, New Pacific Airlines's sole liability to the passenger shall be to provide alternative transportation as provided in paragraph (D) above, and to pay denied boarding compensation, if applicable, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this rule.
      • Conditions For Payment of Involuntary Denied Boarding Compensation The passenger shall not be entitled to any compensation for involuntary denied boarding if:
      • Passenger’s Failure to Comply with Contract of Carriage The passenger has not complied fully with New Pacific Airlines's contract of carriage or tariff provisions regarding ticketing, reconfirmation, check-in, or acceptability for transportation.
      • Substitution of Equipment The flight for which the passenger holds confirmed space is unable to accommodate that passenger because of substitution of equipment of lesser capacity when required by operational or safety reasons; or, on an aircraft with a designed passenger capacity of 60 or fewer seats, the flight for which the passenger holds confirmed reserved space is unable to accommodate that passenger due to weight/balance restrictions when required by operational or safety reasons.
      • Carriage in Alternative CabinNew Pacific Airlines offers to accommodate the passenger in a section of the aircraft other than that specified on his/her ticket at no extra charge; provided however that if a passenger is seated in a section for which a lower fare applies, the passenger will be entitled to a refund of the difference in fare.
      • Alternative TransportationNew Pacific Airlines arranges comparable air transportation, or other transportation used by the passenger, at no extra cost to the passenger, that at the time such arrangements are made is scheduled to arrive at the passenger’s next Stopover, or, if none, final destination within one hour after the planned arrival time of the passenger’s original flight or flights.
    16. Amount of Involuntary Denied Boarding Compensation If all conditions for compensation are met, then New Pacific Airlines shall pay compensation to passengers involuntarily denied boarding in an amount to be calculated as follows:
      • When New Pacific Airlines arranges Qualifying Alternative TransportationIf New Pacific Airlines arranges Qualifying Alternative Transportation, then New Pacific Airlines will pay denied boarding compensation in an amount equal to 200% of the fare (including any surcharges and air transportation taxes) to the passenger’s next Stopover, or if none, to his/her final destination, but no more than $675.00.
      • Where New Pacific Airlines cannot arrange Qualifying Alternative TransportationIf New Pacific Airlines cannot arrange Qualifying Alternative Transportation, then New Pacific Airlines will pay denied boarding compensation in an amount equal to 400% of the fare (including any surcharges and air transportation taxes) to the passenger’s next Stopover, or if none, to his/her final destination, but no more than $1,350.00.
    17. Time of Payment for Involuntary Denied Boarding CompensationIf all conditions for compensation are met, New Pacific Airlines will pay any involuntary denied boarding compensation on the day and at the place where the denial of boarding occurred, provided, however, that if the alternative transportation arranged for the passenger’s convenience departs before the payment can be made to the passenger, then payment will be made by mail or other means within 24 hours after the denied boarding occurs.

    1. Application to both domestic and international carriage except where otherwise stated, all terms of Rule 15 apply to domestic carriage and international carriage.
    2. General conditions of baggage acceptance Passengers may check baggage for carriage in the cargo compartment of the aircraft and/or may carry baggage on board the aircraft subject to the provisions in this rule. New Pacific Airlines will accept for transportation as baggage such personal property as is necessary or appropriate for the wear, use, comfort, or convenience of the passenger for the purpose of their trip, subject to the following conditions:
      • All baggage is subject to monitoring and inspection by New Pacific Airlines and/or authorized government agencies with or without the passenger's consent or knowledge; however, New Pacific Airlines shall not be obligated to perform monitoring and inspection. New Pacific Airlines may refuse to transport on any flight or may remove at any point baggage that the passenger refuses to submit for inspection.
      • New Pacific Airlines may refuse to transport baggage on any flight other than the one carrying the passenger. Checked baggage will generally be carried on the same aircraft as the passenger unless such carriage is deemed impractical by New Pacific Airlines, in which event New Pacific Airlines will make arrangements to transport the baggage on the next flight on which space is available. New Pacific Airlines may also refuse to accept property (except for assistive devices) for transportation whose size, weight, contents, type of packaging or character renders it unsuitable for transportation on the particular aircraft which is to transport it, which cannot be accommodated without harming or annoying passengers; or which is not suitably or adequately packaged to withstand ordinary handling.
      • Each piece of checked baggage tendered to New Pacific Airlines must have a current identification tag or label with the passenger's name, address, and telephone number. It is the passenger's responsibility to attach proper identification to baggage, and New Pacific Airlines is not liable for a passenger's failure to do so. It is also the passenger's responsibility to claim the checked baggage at the baggage claim area, and New Pacific Airlines assumes no obligation to verify the identity of the owner of the baggage at the destination airport.
      • New Pacific Airlines will not accept baggage that, because of its nature, contents, or characteristics (e.g. Sharp objects, paint, corrosives, or other prohibited hazardous materials), might cause injury to passengers or New Pacific Airlines, damage to aircraft or other equipment, or damage to other baggage.
      • New Pacific Airlines will not accept baggage that it determines cannot safely be carried in the baggage compartment of the aircraft for any reason.
      • New Pacific Airlines will not accept, store or hold baggage from a passenger on the day of travel at New Pacific Airlines's airport ticket counter or curbside check-in locations (where available) if tendered to New Pacific Airlines earlier than four (4) hours in advance of flight departure time.
    3. Interline baggage acceptance for travel to or from Canada
      • Applicability
        Paragraph (C) of Rule 127 is applicable to all interline itineraries issued on a single ticket whose origin or ultimate ticketed destination is in Canada. It establishes how the carrier will determine which carrier's baggage rules apply to any passenger's entire interline itinerary.
      • General
        For the purposes of interline baggage acceptance:
        • The carrier whose designator code is identified on the first segment of the passenger's interline ticket will be known as the selecting carrier.
        • Any carrier who is identified as providing interline transportation to the passenger by virtue of the passenger's ticket will be known as a participating carrier
      • Baggage rule determination by selecting carrier The selecting carrier will:
        • Select and apply its own baggage rules as set out in its tariff to the entire interline itinerary; or
        • Select the Most Significant Carrier, as determined by IATA Resolution 302 and conditioned by the Canadian Transportation Agency, in order for that carrier's baggage rules, as established in its tariff, to apply to the entire interline itinerary.
        • The carrier identified by means of a) or b) will be known as the selected carrier. Carry-On Baggage Each operating carrier's carry-on baggage allowances will apply to each flight segment in an interline itinerary. Notwithstanding, the carry-on baggage charges that will apply to the entire interline itinerary will be those of the selected carrier.

      • Baggage rule application by participating carrier Where the carrier is not the selected carrier on an interline itinerary but is a participating carrier that is providing transportation to the passenger based on the ticket issued, the carrier will apply as its own the baggage rules of the selected carrier throughout the interline itinerary.
      • Disclosure of baggage rules
        Summary Page at the end of an Online Purchase and E-Ticket Disclosure
        • For baggage rules provisions related to a passenger's 1st and 2nd checked bag and the passenger's carry-on baggage (i.e. the passenger's "standard" baggage allowance), when the carrier sells and issues a ticket for an interline itinerary, it will disclose to the passenger on any summary page at the end of an online purchase and on the passenger's itinerary/receipt and e-ticket at the time of ticketing the baggage information relevant to the passenger itinerary as set out in (b) below. The disclosed information will reflect the baggage rules of the selected carrier.
        • The carrier will disclose the following information:
          • name of the carrier whose baggage rules apply;
          • passenger's free baggage allowance and/or applicable fees;
          • size and weight limits of the bags, if applicable;
          • terms or conditions that would alter or impact a passenger's standard baggage allowances and charges (e.g. frequent flyer status, early check-in, pre-purchasing baggage allowances with a particular credit card);
          • existence of any embargoes that may be applicable to the passenger's itinerary; and,
          • application of baggage allowances and charges (i.e. whether they are applied once per direction or if they are applicable at each stopover point).

      • Checked and carry-on baggage The suitability of baggage, as to weight, size, contents, or character, and place of storage of baggage to be carried in the passenger compartment of the aircraft will be determined solely by New Pacific Airlines. New Pacific Airlines reserves the right to check a passenger's carry-on baggage for any reason, including if the carry-on baggage cannot be safely stowed. New Pacific Airlines will check baggage, acceptable under New Pacific Airlines's rules, which is tendered by a passenger holding a valid ticket for transportation on New Pacific Airlines, or over the lines of New Pacific Airlines and one or more other participating carriers, subject to payment of the applicable fee (see below) and the following conditions:
        • 1.

New Pacific Airlines will not assume responsibility for delivery charges if such baggage arrives at the passenger's destination on a subsequent flight.

          Note: The time limits provided by New Pacific Airlines in this rule are minimum time requirements. Due to federal security screening measures in place at airports, passengers and baggage processing time may differ from airport to airport.

        • New Pacific Airlines will accept checked baggage up to four (4) hours prior to scheduled departure time. Exception: Ticket counters which open less than four (4) hours prior to departure will accept bags when the ticket counter opens.

          • Beyond a point at which the passenger wants to reclaim the baggage or any portion thereof.
          • Beyond the point to which all applicable charges have been paid.
          • Beyond a point at which the passenger is to transfer to a connecting flight, if that flight is scheduled to depart from an airport different from the one at which the passenger is scheduled to arrive.
        • Live animals will only be checked to the final point On New Pacific Airlines, and not transferred to another Carrier.
        • When baggage is carried on board the aircraft, it must be stored under a seat or in an overhead compartment. The suitability of baggage as to weight, size, contents, and character will be solely determined by New Pacific Airlines.
        • Any embargo for checked or carry on baggage issued by a Governmental authority, New Pacific Airlines, or any carrier to which New Pacific Airlines is transferring baggage as an Interlining partner will be respected and the customer advised of the refusal to accept the bag at check-in
          • New Pacific Airlines is not liable for any costs to the Passenger for refusal to check baggage based on the Enforcement of any embargo.
      • Free carry-on baggage allowance New Pacific Airlines will transport a fare-paying passenger's carry-on baggage between points on its lines for which a valid ticket is presented without charge, subject to the following: Each ticketed passenger is allowed one carry-on bag and one small personal item.

    4. Checked baggage charges
      Baggage exceeding the free carry-on baggage allowance shall be checked and will be accepted for transportation (subject to aircraft load conditions) only upon payment of the following charges. Charges are assessed to the destination or first stopover of twelve (12) hours or more.

If a ticket is purchased before an increase in the fare becomes effective, the ticket shall be honored for transportation between the airports and at the fare for which it was purchased.
    3. Changes to any portion of a ticket initiated by the purchaser, passenger, or his/her authorized agent after its original issue will be subject to the fares, fare rules, and charges in effect on the date the change is initiated. A change constitutes a change in flight number, origin, destination, intermediate points, flight date, class of service, or fare.

In this event, New Pacific Airlines will also reimburse any reasonable, actual, and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the purchaser in reliance upon the ticket purchase. The purchaser must provide receipts or other evidence of such actual costs incurred in support of any reimbursement request.
    5. Duplicate, fictitious and impossible, illogical bookings New Pacific Airlines prohibits duplicate, impossible, or fictitious bookings, including but not limited to multiple conflicting itineraries for the same passenger on the same day or bookings with connections that depart before the arrival of the inbound flight. New Pacific Airlines reserves the right to cancel any such booking which has not been ticketed, and to cancel and refund any such booking which is ticketed at a refundable fare.
    6. Determining directionality of applicable fares Fares are applicable in the direction of travel except when more than one fare component is involved. For any fare component which terminates in the country of origin, the fare applicable to such fare component from the country of origin must be charged. For round trip, circle trip, and/or open jaw fares combined end-on-end with other fares, the country from which such fare(s) is charged is considered the country of origin. For a fare(s) charged on side trips, the point of fare interruption is considered as the point of origin for determining the fare directionality of the separately charged side trip components.

        2. Calculate the resultant amount to two decimals places, ignoring any further decimal places.
      • Step 2: Add the resultant NUC amounts for the sectors involved.
      • Step 3:
        1. Established the through local currency fare by multiplying the total NUC amounts (derived from steps 1, 2, and 3 above) by the IATA rate of exchange (roe) shown in the currency conversion table below for the country of commencement of travel.
        2. Calculate the resultant amount of one decimal place beyond the number of decimal places shown next to the local currency in the conversion table below, ignoring any further decimal places.
        3. Round up to the next higher rounding unit shown next to the local currency in the currency conversion table, unless otherwise indicated.

        Exception: When an international ticket is comprised of all domestic fare components, but within different countries, the provisions outlines above shall apply.
