CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
Except as may be required by applicable laws, government regulations, orders and requirements, Carrier's rules, regulations and conditions of carriage are subject to change without notice; provided that, no such change shall apply to a contract of carriage after the carriage has commenced.
EFFECTIVE RULES, FARES AND CHARGES
1. All carriage of passengers and/or baggage shall be subject to the carrier's rules, regulations, and tariffs in effect on the date of carriage covered by the flight coupon presented for travel.
2. If, after a ticket has been issued and before any portion thereof has been used, an increase in the fares or charges applicable to the transportation covered by the tickets becomes effective, the full amount of such increase will be collected from the passenger.

    No increase will be collected in cases where the ticket has been issued prior to the effective date of a tariff containing an increase in the applicable fare, effected through a change in fare level, a change in conditions governing the fare, or a cancellation of the fare itself, provided:
    1. The originating flight coupon of the ticket was issued for a specific flight at the fare in effect on the date of ticket issuance (determined by the date of validation on the ticket).
    2. That, subsequent to the effective dates of any increase in the applicable fare, the originating flight coupon is not changed voluntarily, including changes to class of service, except to add a discount applicable or delete a discount not applicable on the date of original ticket issue.
    3. Fare increases for voluntary changes will be applicable as follows:
      1. (aa) The originating flight coupon is changed voluntarily or an open one way ticket is confirmed for a specific flight. All flight coupons are subject to recalculation of fare from point of origin using fares in effect on the day on which the change is reflected on passenger travel documents and/or electronic ticket record.

    1. The contract shall be for a period not to exceed one year from the date of execution of said contract. This provision, however, may be extended to 18 months from date of execution of said contract providing that the fare at the date of the contract may be increased by not more than five percent of the original fare as stated in the contract.
    2. The contract is for the transportation of 20 or more passengers, at fares lawfully in effect at the time of execution of the contract.

Reference to tariffs, pages, rules, items and notes are continuous and include revisions, supplements thereto and reissues thereof.
No employee of the carrier has the authority to alter, modify or waive any provision of the contract of carriage or of this tariff unless authorized by a corporate officer of carrier. AA appointed agents and representatives are only authorized to sell tickets for air transportation pursuant to the approved fares, rules and regulations of AA, (Applicable for transportation to/from points outside the U.S.A.) and on file with the D.O.T. This rule supersedes any conflicting provisions contained in the contract of carriage.
Overriding Law (Applicable only for transportation to, from, or via a point(s) outside the U.S.A.) Insofar as any provision contained or referred to in the ticket or in this tariff may be contrary to mandatory law, government regulations, orders, or requirements, such provision shall remain applicable to the extent that it is not over-ridden thereby. The invalidity of any provision shall not affect any other part.
MISFILED FARES
AA, as a policy, does not file nor intend to offer/file fares priced at zero (exclusive of any surcharge). Essentially, such fares do not make any economic sense. AA has introduced warning mechanisms to try to prevent such occurrences; however, occasionally fares such as these mistakenly get loaded into computer reservation systems that are not controlled by AA. Agents/customers should be aware that in these circumstances they are not allowed to ticket at these fares and AA will not honor fares of zero (exclusive of any surcharge). In the event that a zero fare (exclusive of any surcharge) is ticketed inadvertently, AA will void such ticket and may choose to waive, in its sole discretion, certain rules or restrictions of existing published fares as a gesture of good will.

  3. The carrier, in making an advance payment, does not waive any rights, defenses, or limitations available under the Warsaw Convention, or the Montreal Convention, whichever may apply, to any claim, nor shall acceptance of an advance payment constitute a release of any claim, whatsoever, by any person.

RESERVATIONS

GENERAL
A ticket will be valid only for flight(s) for which reservation(s) shall have been made, and only between the points named on the ticket or applicable flight coupons. A passenger holding an unused open-date ticket or portion thereof or exchange order for onward travel, or who wishes to change his ticketed reservations to another date, shall not be entitled to any preferential right with respect to the obtaining of reservations.
CONDITIONS OF RESERVATIONS
1. A reservation for space on a given flight is valid when the availability and allocation of such space is confirmed by a reservation agent of the carrier, and entered in the carrier's reservation system. Subject to payment or satisfactory credit arrangement, a validated ticket will be issued by the carrier indicating such confirmed space, provided passenger applies to carrier for such ticket at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time of a flight within the Continental U.S. to which such reservation applies, or at least 60 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time of a flight to or from a point outside the Continental U.S. to which such reservation applies. Such reservation for space is subject to cancellation by the carrier without notice if the passenger has not purchased (through direct payment or other satisfactory credit arrangement) a validated ticket indicating confirmed seat(s) at least sixty (60) minutes before scheduled departure of the flight or 30 minutes prior to departure time of a flight within the Continental U.S. or earlier, if a greater time limit is specified.
  EXCEPTION 1: If the passenger agrees to apply to the carrier or agent of the carrier for a validated ticket indicating such reserved space at a time earlier than the time limit specified above, such earlier time limit will be entered into the carrier's reservations system. The reservation for space of such passenger is subject to cancellation by the carrier without notice if the passenger has not applied to the carrier or agent of the carrier for a validated ticket specifying thereon the confirmed reserved space prior to the agreed time in advance of the scheduled departure of the flight to which such reservation applies.
  EXCEPTION 2: In the event of a termination of an interline traffic agreement between AA and another carrier, AA will honor any reservation for travel on AA made by such other carrier prior to termination provided AA issues the ticket if such ticket was not issued prior to termination.
2. Unless prior authorization is received, American Airlines prohibits the practice of confirming reservations as follows:
  1. FRAUDULENT, FICTITIOUS AND ABUSIVE RESERVATIONS -
    These types of reservations are defined as any reservation made without having been requested by or on behalf of the named passenger. Additionally, creating reservations to hold or block seats for the purpose of obtaining lower fares, AAdvantage award inventory, or upgrades that may not otherwise be available or to circumvent any of American Airlines' fare rules or policies is prohibited.
  2. DUPLICATE AND IMPOSSIBLE/ILLOGICAL RESERVATIONS -
    A duplicate or impossible/illogical reservation includes, but is not limited to: reservations for the same passenger on flights traveling on or about the same date between one or more of the same or nearby origin and/or destination (such as JFKDFW and LGADFW or DFWLAX and DFWONT); or reservations with connections that depart before the arrival of the inbound flight.
3. Overbooking
  Carrier may accept reservations of space for specific flights in excess of available space on board the aircraft. The number of excess reservations planned by the carrier for a particular flight is based upon the anticipated booking pattern for such flight. The determination of this pattern takes into consideration current conditions which may affect the expected utilization of space on the flight as well as historical factors such as the rate of late cancellations for the flight, failure of persons with confirmed reservations to show for the flight and the absence of any record for certain reservations in the carrier's inventory of the flight. In the event that the number of persons presenting themselves with confirmed reservations for carriage on a flight exceeds the number of seats available, those passengers with confirmed reservations who are not accommodated may be eligible to receive denied boarding compensation provided in Rule 87 (DENIED BOARDING COMPENSATION).
4. Seat Allocation
  Carrier does not guarantee allocation of any particular space in the aircraft.
CANCELLATION OF RESERVATIONS
1. Carrier will cancel the reservation of any passenger whenever such action is necessary to comply with any governmental regulation, or to comply with any governmental request for emergency transportation in connection with the national defense, or whenever such action is necessary or advisable by reason of weather or other conditions beyond its control.
2. The Transportation Security Agency's (TSA) Secure Flight Program requires that American collect the following additional information from passengers when making a reservation to fly within, into or out of the United States and reservations for point-to-point international flights operated by U.S. based airlines:
  1. Full Name (required), as it appears on government-issued I. D. approved for use when traveling
  2. Date of Birth (required)
  3. Gender (required)
  4. Redress Number (optional)
  American may cancel your reservation if the reservation does not include the required Secure Flight Passenger Data (full name, date of birth and gender) at least 72 hours prior to your scheduled departure. This cancellation policy applies to all American Airlines tickets, including tickets for our flights operated by our codeshare partners.
3. Failure to Occupy Space
  If the passenger fails to occupy space which has been reserved for him on a flight of any carrier and such carrier fails to receive notice of the cancellation of such reservation prior to the departure of such flight, or if any carrier cancels the reservation of any passenger in accordance with paragraphs of this rule, such carrier will cancel all reservations held by such passenger on the flights of any carrier for continuing or return space, provided such carrier originally reserved the space.
4. Carrier is not liable when it cancels the reservation of any passenger in accordance with this rule, but
  1. if such reservation was cancelled pursuant to paragraph (C)(1) of this rule, such carrier will take such action as is provided in Rule 80 (REVISED ROUTINGS, FAILURE TO CARRY AND MISSED CONNECTIONS).
  2. if such reservation was cancelled pursuant to other paragraphs of this rule, such carrier will refund in accordance with Rule 90-(E) (REFUNDS - VOLUNTARY).
5. (Applicable to reservations made in the Western Hemisphere, except in the US/Canada, by authorized travel agents.) Carrier will assess a fee of USD 25.00 for any unticketed reservation not cancelled prior to departure.
TIME LIMIT FOR TICKET ISSUANCE/PAYMENT
Passenger must apply for a validated ticket at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time of the flight within the Continental U.S. to which reservations apply, or at least 60 minutes prior to the departure time of a flight to/from a point outside the Continental U.S.
COMMUNICATION CHARGES
The passenger will be charged for any communication expense paid or incurred by carrier for telephone, telegraph, radio, or cable arising from a special request of the passenger concerning a reservation.
CHECK-IN TIME LIMITS
AA recommends, for flights within the United States, a 90 minute advance check-in time for passengers checking baggage, and a 60 minute check-in time for passengers traveling with hand-carried baggage only. AA recommends, for all passengers departing from the state of Hawaii, a 180 minute check-in time. AA will cancel the reservations of any passenger who fails to present himself for check-in at the boarding pass lifting point with the appropriate boarding pass at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled or revised-posted departure time of a U.S. domestic flight, and 30 minutes for a departure to or from an international destination, notwithstanding that such passenger may have checked-in for the same flight at another location designated for such purpose. AA will cancel the reservation and seat assignment of any passenger who is not on board and in the assigned seat of the aircraft of a U.S. domestic flight for which he holds a boarding pass at least 10 minutes prior to scheduled or revised-posted departure time.
NOTE 1: For the purpose of this rule, the boarding pass lifting point is at the point which the passenger's boarding pass is lifted and retained by the carrier.
NOTE 2: Passengers must arrive at the airport sufficiently in advance of a flight departure time to permit completion of government formality and departure procedures. Departures will not be delayed for passengers who are either improperly documented, or are not ready to travel at time of scheduled departure. Carrier is not liable to the passenger for loss or expense due to passenger's failure to comply with this provision.

DATE: 08/02/06 ATPCO RULES TEXT AA1-0061AA

CAPACITY LIMITATIONS

A reservation for space on a given flight is valid only when the availability and allocation of that space is confirmed at such fares by a reservation agent of the carrier.
Carrier may limit the number of passengers carried on any one flight at fares governed by this rule and fares will not necessarily be available on all flights. The number of seats which the carrier shall make available on a given flight will be determined by carrier's best judgment as to the anticipated total passenger load on each flight.

DATE: 08/02/06 ATPCO RULES TEXT AA1-0062AA

GROUP CONDITIONAL RESERVATIONS

GENERAL
Upon receiving a request from a "group organizer", the carrier at its option may offer conditional reservations for groups when accompanied by a written statement to that effect.
DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this rule:
1. "Group" means 10 or more passengers traveling to the same destination.
2. "Group Organizer" means the person responsible for the travel arrangements of the group.
RESERVATIONS
The carrier will limit the number of conditional reservations accepted on any flight and such reservations will not necessarily be available on all flights.
DEPOSITS
1. At the carrier's discretion, the group organizer will be required to pay the carrier a deposit equal to ten (10) percent of the fares applicable to the total number of seats for which conditional reservations have been accepted.
2. Failure to submit the deposit, upon request, will result in the cancellation of all conditional reservations.
3. Upon receipt of the deposit by the carrier, the conditional reservations will be converted to confirmed reserved space.
CANCELLATION FEES
If more than twenty (20) percent of the seats held at the time the deposit is received by the carrier are subsequently cancelled (or unused), the group organizer will be assessed the following fee for each seat cancelled (or unused):
1. 121 or more days prior to the date of departure: One (1) percent.
2. 120 days through 31 days prior to the date of departure: Ten (10) percent.

CURRENCY OF PAYMENT

Except as otherwise provided below, fares and charges are payable in any currency acceptable to AA. When payment is made in a currency other than the currency in which the fare is published, such payment will be made at the rate of exchange established for such purpose by AA, the current statement of which is available for inspection by the passenger at AA's office where the ticket is purchased. The provisions of this paragraph are subject to applicable exchange laws and government regulations.

Payment of fares for travel originating in the U.S. shall be in U.S. currency.
Payment of fares for travel originating in Canada shall be in Canadian currency.
Payment of fares for travel originating at a point outside the U.S. and destined to a point in the U.S. shall be in the currency of the country of origin, except as provided in (D) below.
Payment of fares for travel originating at a point outside the U.S. or Canada destined to a point in the U.S. or Canada may also be made in the U.S. or Canada in dollars when the fare in the currency of the country of origin is converted to dollars at the local Banker's Buying Rate of Exchange.
In case of cancellation or rerouting which results in a partial refund of the original fare, the value of the unused portion of the ticket shall be calculated in the currency of the country of transportation origination. Such amount may be refunded in the currency of the country of transportation origination or may be converted into the currency of the country of refund or reissuance at the local Bankers' Buying Rate in effect at the time refund takes place.
NOTE: (Applicable only between points in the U.S.A. and the United Kingdom.) AA will pay the refund in the same form (i.e., cash, check, credit card, etc.) that was used in purchasing the original transportation document. AA, in making the refund, will observe any refund restriction that may be published in the applicable rules governing the original transportation document. Further, AA will observe any government or carrier restriction imposed on the conversion and refund of currencies outside the country whose currency was originally collected.
Where an additional collection is to be made as a result of the rerouting, the additional amount may be collected in the currency of the country of transportation originating or may be converted into the currency of the country in which the rerouting takes place at the local bankers buying rate in effect at the time of rerouting. *Such amount shall not be greater than the fare published in the currency of country of transportation origination for the transportation actually used and/or to be used.
"Bankers' Buying Rate" means the rate at which, for the purpose of the transfer of funds through banking channels (i.e., other than transactions in bank notes, travelers checks, and similar banking instruments), a bank will purchase a given amount of foreign currency in exchange for one unit (or units) of the national currency of the country in which the exchange transaction takes place.
EXCEPTIONS:
1. In the U.S.A., the Bankers' Buying Rate means the rate published each Tuesday in the Wall Street Journal under the heading of "Selling prices for bank transfers in the U.S. for payment abroad." This rate will be applicable from Wednesday of each week up to and including the Tuesday of the following week.
2. In the case of Belgium, France, and Italy where two rates (Commercial and Financial) are shown, the Commercial rate shall be used.
3. When a national holiday falls on Monday, foreign exchange rates do not appear in the Tuesday edition of the Wall Street Journal. In such exceptional cases the previous week's rates are used through Wednesday instead of Tuesday, and the Wednesday edition of the Wall Street Journal will be used for the period Thursday through Tuesday.
4. In Canada the Bankers' Buying Rate means the rate published each Saturday in the Toronto Globe & Mail under the heading Foreign Exchange - Mid Market Rate in Canadian Funds. This Rate will be applicable from Monday of the following week up to and including the Sunday following after. When exceptional circumstances prevent the publication of exchange rates in the Saturday edition of the Toronto Globe & Mail the currently applicable exchange rates will remain effective until 2 days after superseding exchange rates are published. Such superseding rates will be effective through the first Sunday following their publication date.

    EXCEPTION 1: The passenger will not be eligible for compensation if the flight on which he holds confirmed reserved space is unable to accommodate him because of substitution of equipment of a lesser capacity when required by operational or safety reasons.
    EXCEPTION 2: The passenger will not be eligible for compensation if he is offered accommodations or is seated in a section of the aircraft other than that specified on his ticket at no extra charge. If a passenger is seated in a section for which a lower fare applies the passenger shall be entitled to an appropriate refund.
    EXCEPTION 3: The passenger will not be eligible for compensation if his reservation has been cancelled pursuant to Rule 60 (F) (RESERVATIONS-CHECK-IN TIME LIMITS).
    EXCEPTION 4: Employees of the carrier or of other carriers traveling on a reduced rate basis. These employees are not eligible for denied boarding compensation.
    EXCEPTION 5: The passenger will not be eligible for denied boarding compensation if AA 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 planned to arrive at the passenger's next stopover or, if none, final destination within one hour after the scheduled arrival time of the passenger's original flight or flights.
2. Amount of Compensation
  Subject to provisions of paragraph (1) above, AA will tender liquidated damages in the amount of 200 percent of the sum of the values of the passenger's remaining flight coupons of the ticket to the passenger's next stopover, or if none, to his destination, but not less than CAD 75.00/USD 75.00 and not more than CAD 800.00/USD 800.00. However, the compensation shall be 50 percent of the amount described above, but not less than CAD 37.50/USD 37.50 or more than CAD 400.00/USD400.00 if the carrier arranges for comparable air transportation, or for other transportation that is accepted. That is, transportation used by the passenger, which, at the time either arrangement is made, is planned to arrive at the airport of the passenger's next stopover, or if none, at the airport of the passenger's destination earlier than or not later than four hours after the planned arrival at the airport of the passenger's next stopover, or if none, at the airport of the passenger's destination, of the flight on which the passenger holds a confirmed reservation.
  EXCEPTION: On American Eagle with 60 or less seats, the total value of the coupon in question will be refunded (not to exceed CAD 150.00/USD 100.00 and the passenger will be transported free of charge, on the next available American Eagle flight to his/her destination or next point of stopover/connection. The total value of the coupon (not to exceed CAD 150.00/USD 100.00 will be refunded without regard to the availability of service or the passenger's arrival time on that service at his/her destination or next point of stopover/connection.
  NOTE 1: If the offer of compensation is made by the carrier and accepted by the passenger, such payment will constitute full compensation for all actual or anticipatory damages incurred or to be incurred by the passenger as a result of carrier's failure to provide passenger with confirmed reserved space.
  NOTE 2: The Carrier may compensate the passenger with credit valid for transportation on AA in lieu of monetary compensation. The offer of free transportation would be equal to or greater than the monetary compensation due. The credit voucher is nontransferable, has no refund value, and may be voluntarily rerouted and reissued by the issuing carrier only.
  EXCEPTION: (Applicable to passengers boarding flights in the U.S.A.) The passenger may decline the transportation benefit and receive the cash payment.
3. Time of Offer of Compensation
  The offer of compensation will be made by the carrier on the day and at the place where the failure to provide confirmed reserved space occurs, and, if accepted, will be receipted for by the passenger. Provided, however, that when the carrier arranges, for the passenger's convenience, alternate means of transportation that departs prior to the time the offer can be made to the passenger, the offer shall be made by mail or other means within 24 hours after the time the failure occurs.
NOTICE PROVIDED PASSENGERS
The following written notice shall be provided all passengers who are denied boarding involuntarily on flights on which they hold confirmed reserved space. Blanks that appear in parentheses in the notice below will be completed in the actual notice provided passengers, with specific boarding priorities.
NOTE: For the purpose of this rule, specific boarding priorities are provided in paragraph (C) above.
1. COMPENSATION FOR DENIED BOARDING
  1. (Applicable for flights originating in the U.S.A.) If you have been denied a reserved seat on American Airlines, you are probably entitled to monetary compensation. This notice explains the airline's obligations and the passenger's rights in the case of an oversold flight, in accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
  2. (Applicable for flights originating in Canada) If you have been denied a reserved seat on American Airlines, you are probably entitled to monetary compensation. This notice explains the airline's obligations and the passenger's rights in the case of an oversold flight, in accordance with regulations of the Canadian Transport Commission.
2. VOLUNTEERS AND BOARDING PRIORITIES
  If a flight is oversold (more passengers hold confirmed reservations than there are seats available), no one may be denied boarding against his will until airline personnel first ask for volunteers who will give up their reservations willingly, in exchange for a payment of the airline's choosing. If there are not enough volunteers, other passengers may be denied boarding involuntarily, in accordance with the following boarding priority of American Airlines: ( )
3. COMPENSATION FOR INVOLUNTARY DENIED BOARDING
  If you are denied boarding involuntarily, you are entitled to a payment of "denied boarding compensation" from the airline unless (1) you have not fully complied with the airline's ticketing, check-in, and reconfirmation requirements, or you are not acceptable for transportation under the airline's USUAL rules and practices; or (2) you are denied boarding because the flight is cancelled; or (3) you are denied boarding because a smaller capacity aircraft was substituted for safety or operational reasons; or (4) you are offered accommodations in a section of the aircraft other than that specified in your ticket, at no extra charge. (A passenger seated in a section for which a lower fare is charged must be given an appropriate refund.); or (5) the airline is able to place you on another flight or flights that are planned to reach your destination within one hour of the scheduled arrival of your original flight.
4. AMOUNT OF DENIED BOARDING COMPENSATION
  Passengers who are eligible for denied boarding compensation must be offered a payment equal to the sum of the face values of their ticket coupons, with a CAD 37.50/USD 37.50 minimum and CAD 400.00/USD 400.00 maximum. However, if the airline cannot arrange "alternate transportation" (see below) for the passenger, the compensation is doubled (CAD 75.00/USD 75.00 minimum, CAD 800.00/USD 800.00 maximum). The "value" of a ticket coupon is the one way fare for the flight shown on the coupon, including any surcharge and air transportation tax, minus any applicable discount. All flight coupons, including connecting flights, to the passenger's destination or first 4-hour stopover are used to compute the compensation. "Alternate transportation" is air transportation provided by an airline licensed by the D.O.T. or other transportation used by the passenger which, at the time the arrangement is made, is planned to arrive at the passenger's next scheduled stopover (of 4 hours or longer) or destination no later than 4 hours after the passenger's originally scheduled arrival time.
  EXCEPTION: On American Eagle with 60 or less seats, the total value of the coupon in question will be refunded (not to exceed CAD 150.00/USD 100.00) and the passenger will be transported free of charge, on the next available American Eagle flight to his/her destination or next point of stopover/connection. The total value of the coupon (not to exceed CAD 150.00/USD 100.00) will be refunded without regard to the availability of service or the passenger's arrival time on that service at his/her destination or next point of stopover/connection.
5. METHOD OF PAYMENT
  The airline must give each passenger who qualifies for denied boarding compensation, a payment by check or draft for the amount specified above, on the day and place the involuntary denied boarding occurs. However, if the airline arranges alternate transportation for the passenger's convenience that departs before the payment can be made, the payment will be sent to the passenger within 24 hours. The air carrier may offer free tickets in place of the cash payment. Passengers boarding flights in the U.S.A. may insist on cash payment. All passengers may refuse compensation and bring private legal action.
6. PASSENGER'S OPTIONS
  Acceptance of the compensation (by endorsing the check or draft within 30 days) relieves American Airlines from any further liability to the passenger caused by its failure to honor the confirmed reservation. However, the passenger may decline the payment and seek to recover damages in a court of law or in some other manner.

4. Refunds will be made in the currency in which the fare was paid, or, in lawful currency of the country of the carrier making the refund or of the country where the refund is made or in the currency of the country in which the ticket was purchased, in an amount equivalent to the amount due in the currency in which the fare or fares for the flight covered by the ticket as originally issued was collected.

If, at the time of application for refund, evidence is submitted that a company purchased the ticket on behalf of its employee or the travel agent has made refund to its client, such refund will be made directly to the employee's company or the travel agent.

INVOLUNTARY REFUNDS

For the purpose of this paragraph, the term "Involuntary Refund" shall mean any refund made in the event the passenger is prevented from using the carriage provided for in his/her ticket because of cancellation of flight, inability of AA to provide previously confirmed space, substitution of a different type of equipment or class of service by AA, missed connections, postponement or delay of flight, omission of a scheduled stop, or removal or refusal to carry under conditions prescribed in "Acceptance of Children" provisions of Rule 25 (REFUSAL TO TRANSPORT-LIMITATIONS OF CARRIER).

Amount of Involuntary Refunds
The amount of involuntary refunds will be as follows:

when no portion of the trip has been made, the amount of refund will be an amount equal to the fare and charges applicable to the ticket issued to the passenger.

when a portion of the trip has been made, the amount of refund will be computed as follows:

either an amount equal to the one way fare less the same rate of discount, if any, that was applied in computing the original one way fare (or on round trip or circle trip tickets, one half of the round trip fare) and charges applicable to the unused transportation from the point of termination to the destination or stopover point named on the ticket or to the point at which transportation is to be resumed, via:
1. (aa) the routing specified on the ticket, if the point of termination was on such routing; or
2. (bb) the routing of any carrier operating between such points, if the point of termination was not on the routing specified on the ticket; in such case the amount of refund will be based on the lowest fares applicable between such points; or

the difference between the fare paid and the fare for the transportation used, whichever is higher.
EXCEPTION 1: AA will make no refund:

When the destination designated on the Passenger's ticket is:	...and the flight on which the passenger is being transported, terminates at:

EXCEPTION 2: When a passenger holding a ticket for carriage for a higher class of service between an origin and a destination is required by AA to use a lower class of service for any portion of such carriage the amount of refund will be as follows:

For One Way Tickets: the difference between the fare for the higher class of service and the fare for the lower class of service between the points where the lower class of service is used;
For Round Trip, Circle Trip or Open Jaw Tickets: the difference between 50 percent of the round trip fare for the higher class of service and 50 percent of the round trip fare for the lower class of service between the points where the lower class of service is used.

Communications Expenses
Any communication expenses paid by the passenger in accordance with Rule 60 (RESERVATIONS) will be refunded, or if such expense has not been collected by AA, its collection will be waived, except as otherwise provided in Rule 25 (REFUSAL TO TRANSPORT - LIMITATIONS OF CARRIER); provided, however, that the passenger will be required to pay for any communications pertaining to his own arrangements necessitated by such involuntary cancellation.

VOLUNTARY REFUNDS
1. The term "Voluntary Refund," for the purpose of this paragraph, shall mean any refund of a ticket or portion thereof other than an involuntary refund as defined in paragraph (D) above.
2. Amount of Voluntary Refund
  The amount of voluntary refunds will be as follows:
  1. When no ticket coupons have been used, the amount of refund will be an amount equal to the fare and charges applicable to the ticket issued to the passenger.
  2. When any ticket coupons have been used, the amount of refund will be the difference, if any, between the fare paid and the fare applicable for the portion of transportation used.
  3. Any applicable administrative service charge or cancellation fee will be deducted from the refund amount in (a) or (b) above.
  4. For nonrefundable fare tickets any surcharge/Q/ or service fee/YQ YR/ that has been collected will be nonrefundable.
  5. For nonrefundable tickets upon written request, American will refund taxes and fees not imposed by the airline, collected at the time of sale of nonrefundable tickets that are not used for travel, as follows. Taxes or fees will not be refunded if the airline's obligation to remit the tax or fee arises by virtue of its collection of the tax or fee (as opposed to actual travel by the passenger). All taxes and fees imposed by the United States Government fall within this category. Taxes or fees will be refunded if the airline's obligation to remit the tax or fee depends upon use of the ticket for travel.
  6. When the refunding of any portion of a ticket would result in the use of such ticket between any points where the carriage of traffic is prohibited, the refund, if any, will be determined as if such ticket had been used to a point beyond which would not result in the violation of carrier's operating rights or privileges. The passenger will be refunded the difference between the fare paid from the point of origin to such farther point and the total fare paid, less any applicable charges.
  7. A penalty for voluntary cancellation shall not apply and the total amount paid shall be refunded if such cancellation is made after an increase in the fare is made applicable between the time of the initial payment and the date of travel.

DATE: 07/25/11 ATPCO RULES TEXT AA1-0130AA

FARES

GENERAL
The mileage routings or specified routings contained in this tariff shall apply only when transportation is via the Atlantic Ocean/Pacific Ocean or wholly within the Western Hemisphere on through AA fare components, or on agreed industry fares when AA performs governing carriage as described in Rule 5 of this tariff, unless otherwise prohibited by this tariff. Fares apply only for carriage from the airport at the point of origin to the airport at the point of destination, and do not include ground transfer service between airports and city centers, except where Rule 30 specifically provides that such ground transfer service will be furnished without additional charge.
FARE CONSTRUCTION DEFINITIONS
1. Round Trip
  Round trip means travel from one point and return to the same point comprised of no more than two fare components, for which the same mileage surcharge and/or higher intermediate point city pair applies to both the outbound and return fare components. Class of service, seasonality, midweek and weekend fare differences are not considered in the application of this definition. This definition does not apply to around the world journeys.
2. Circle Trip
  Circle trip means travel from a point and return to the same point by a continuously charged air route which does not qualify under the definition of Round Trip above; provided that, where no reasonable direct scheduled air route is available between two points, a break in the circle may be traveled by any other means without prejudice to the circle trip.
3. One Way Trip
  One way trip is any journey which, for fare calculation purposes, is not a complete round or circle trip entirely by air.
4. Around the World Trips
  Around the world trips are circle trips which apply to travel from one point and return to the same point which involves only one crossing of the Atlantic Ocean and only one crossing of the Pacific Ocean.
5. Open Jaw Trips
  An open jaw trip is travel which is essentially of a round trip nature, except that:
  1. (a) For Single Open Jaw - the outward point of arrival and the inward point of departure are not the same, or the outward point of departure and the inward point of arrival are not the same.
  2. (b) For Double Open Jaw - the outward point of arrival and the inward point of departure are not the same, and the outward point of departure and the inward point of arrival are not the same.
    NOTE: If a rule states simply "open jaw", it permits a single or a double open jaw.
6. Side Trip
  A side trip is a separately charged journey which interrupts a through international fare. When a fare for a side trip is charged separately, all provisions of this rule, as applicable, apply from the point of origin of the side trip.
7. Special Area Definitions
  Each of the following areas is considered one country, for the purpose of fare construction;
  1. (a) Canada and U.S.A.
  2. (b) Denmark, Norway and Sweden
APPLICABLE FARES
1. Published applicable fares between two points take precedence over any combination of fares in the same class of service that produces a higher total fare. A published fare includes a fare obtained by combining an applicable published arbitrary with a published international fare.
2. 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.
  EXCEPTION 1: For fare components between the U.S.A./Canada or between Denmark/Norway/ Sweden returning to the country of origin, the fare from country of origin shall apply.
  EXCEPTION 2: (Applicable to Open Jaw normal and special fares) For tickets originating and terminating in Europe (except for tickets with travel wholly within Europe), when the open jaw is between countries in Europe, the applicable fare for the last fare component into the country of destination shall be the fare applicable from the country of destination.
  EXAMPLE: AMS-WAS-MAD
  FARE CONSTRUCTION: AMS-WAS 1/2 RT PEX FARE MAD-WAS 1/2 RT PEX FARE
3. All published fares governed by this tariff and all fares constructed in accordance with this tariff are applicable only when in compliance with all the provisions governing travel as stated herein. 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. Mileage routings (see Maximum Permitted Mileage Tariff No. MPM-1, C.A.B. No. 424, NTA(A) No. 239) are applied to any published or constructed fare.
4. The fare paid is applicable only when international travel commences in the country of the point of origin shown on the ticket, i.e. if international travel actually commences outside the country of the ticketed point of origin, the fare must be recalculated from the point where international travel actually began. For example, if a ticket is purchased at the fare for travel Athens-Frankfurt-New York, and the passenger commences travel in Frankfurt instead of Athens, the fare must be recalculated at the Frankfurt-New York level.
5. The same discount applicable to the through fare charged applies to any differential, higher intermediate point check or minimum fare check on the itinerary.
6. The fare for a fare component shall be the lower amount which can be determined according to:
  1. Mileage System: The application of the Mileage System, as described in Section (D)(4) and following in this rule, or
  2. Lowest Combination of Fares Principle: The lowest combination of sector fares over intermediate point(s) on the itinerary, subject to applicable minimum fare checks. Fares constructed by the Lowest Combination of Fares Principle may utilize through mileage over any combination of sector fares used, even though such fares are shown separately, provided that all transportation is via the fare construction point(s).

CONSTRUCTION OF FARES

Combinations Fares may be combined with other fares, provided that such fares permit the combination.
1. Round Trips: The fare for a round trip is the round trip fare published for the desired routing and class of service charged. If no round trip fare is published, the applicable fare is the sum of the one way fares published for the desired routing and class of service used. 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 will be used to construct a round trip fare provided that:
  1. fares which, by their terms, are not combinable with other fares, must not be used in the construction of round trip fares;
  2. No part of the round trip is via the services of a nonscheduled carrier or on a charter or military flight.
2. Circle Trips: The fare for a circle trip is:
  1. The sum of 50 percent of the applicable round trip fares for the class of service charged for the respective sections of the itinerary from the point of origin via the route of travel to destination that produces the lowest fare of the class of service used. If no round trip fare is published, the applicable fare is the sum of the one way fares published for the desired routing and class of service charged, and/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 governed by this tariff may be combined with 50 percent of a round trip fare published in other tariffs to construct a circle trip fare provided that:
    1. (aa) fares which, by their own terms, are not combinable with other fares must not be used in the construction of circle trip fares;
    2. (bb) the most restrictive fare rule provision, as listed in rule 2(b)(8) applicable to any fare used in the construction shall apply to the entire trip;
    3. (cc) no part of the circle trip is via the services of a non-scheduled carrier or on a charter or military flight.
3. Open Jaw Trips:
  1. Normal Fares
    Travel comprising only two international fare components with a surface break(s) that, unless otherwise specified in a normal fare rule, may be between any two points/countries in the subarea of unit origin and/or within the same/different IATA area(s) at destination, for which the fare is assessed as a single pricing unit using half round trip fares, provided that
    1. (aa) Except for travel between Areas 2 and 2, and except for travel between Area 1 and Area 1 via the Atlantic, travel must be via fares of the same global indicators to and from points of the surface break, and
      1. (aaa) When the surface break is at the destination and the open jaw points are in different IATA areas, the open jaw mileage must be shorter than the accumulated TPM of the longer fare component.
      2. (bbb) When the surface break is between subareas or IATA areas at destination, neither point of the surface break is permitted in the origin subarea or IATA area and
        NOTE: for purposes of this provision, the following are considered tariff subareas:
        Area 1: North America, Central America (including Panama), South America (excluding Panama), IATA Caribbean
        Area 2: IATA Europe, Africa, Middle East
        Area 3: Asia (excluding Southwest Pacific), Southwest Pacific
    2. (bb) Travel between Area 2 and Area 3 cannot be via both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
  2. Special Fares Unless otherwise stated in the applicable fare rule, the fare for an open jaw special fare trip is the sum of 50 percent of the applicable round trip fare for each leg of the open jaw.
    EXCEPTION: Between Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos Islands and the rest of IATA Caribbean subarea: No special fare open jaws are permitted.
4. Unless otherwise stated in an applicable fare rule, 50 percent of a round trip fare governed by one rule must not be combined with 50 percent of another round trip fare governed by a different rule in order to construct a different type of round or circle trip fare.
5. Special round trip fares must not be used to construct Around-The-World fares, nor may 50 percent of a round or circle trip special fare be used to construct another type of round or circle trip special fare.
6. When constructing open jaw or circle trip special fares involving fares with different conditions, the most restrictive conditions as described in Rule (2)(b)(8) shall govern the entire journey.
7. Unless otherwise stated in an applicable fare rule, when combining special fares with other types of fares, the restrictive provisions of the special fare apply only to the special fare and not to any other fare when used in end-on-end combinations.
8. Subjourney combinations (Applicable to tickets issued by and validated on AA.) A journey may be broken within a tariff subarea, as defined in (D)(1)(c)(i)(aa)(ii)(bbb) of this rule, to form independent subjourneys, the total of which may be lower than a through fare for the same class of service. This provision applies to one way, round trip, and circle trip journeys. Additionally, for such combinations, fare rules for all fares used in a subjourney shall be validated to such subjourney separately and independently of any other subjourney, as if such subjourney were ticketed separately, provided that the combinations of subjourneys is permitted by end-on-end provisions of the fares combined. One way subjourney's may be combined end-on-end with round/circle trip subjourney's and vice versa.
9. Combination with other fares may not be used to extend the period of validity.
10. Partly via Air and Partly via Sea (Applicable to round trip and Around-The-World-Fares) When tickets are purchased prior to commencement of carriage for a round trip or around the world journey for combined air and sea travel, the air fare for each one way section of the air journey is 50 percent of the all year round trip fare published in this tariff and applicable between the points and via the class of service charged. A break in the round trip is permitted to allow passengers to make independent provisions for carriage by any means of transportation between airports and adjacent seaports.
Combination of Arbitraries with International Fares When combining arbitraries with international fares, the fare for such transportation will be established by combining the published arbitrary and the published international fare for the fare class applicable to the transportation. A passenger may be routed via any gateway city regardless of the point(s) used in establishing the fare, subject to the provisions of (C) above.

Surface Transportation Segments

Normal Fares For tickets containing only normal fares - If the mileage for an international surface break is:
1. Greater than the total TPMs over the routing traveled from the point origin to the point of commencement of the surface break, and
2. The surface break is not included in the through fare, the journey from the point
3. of origin up to the surface break must be ticketed separately.
  EXCEPTION: This does not apply to permissible surface sectors in (f) below.
Surface Transportation Due to Lack of Reasonably Direct Air Service When no reasonably direct scheduled air service is available between two points of a circle trip, a break in the circle trip may be traveled by any other means of transportation without changing the status of the circle trip.
For Tickets Containing Both Air and Surface Transportation Segments. When a journey by air is interrupted by the use of surface transportation between points not listed in sub-paragraph (f) below, the fare must be constructed by whichever of the following methods produces the lowest fare:
1. The sum of two or more applicable one way fares.
2. A one way, round or circle trip fare covering all portions of the itinerary whether traveled by air or surface transportation.
3. A round or circle trip fare for that portion of the itinerary which meets the requirements of a round or circle trip, plus one or more one way fares for those portions not included in the round or circle trip fare.
A surface break may occur on a routing fare provided both points of the surface break are on the specified routing.
A through fare may not be charged over a surface sector at the point of origin of an itinerary.

Permissible Surface Transportation Sectors

When a fare component includes surface transportation between the following pairs of intermediate points, the mileage between such intermediate points is disregarded when computing sector mileages.
The exclusion of these mileages will not affect the status of a round or circle trip.

These sectors must not be used as points of origin/destination.

Mileage System
The maximum permitted mileage (MPM) published in connection with a fare governs the maximum distance a passenger is allowed to travel en route between two particular points at the direct through one way or half round trip fare. In order to determine whether a desired routing between two points is permissible at the through one way or half round trip fare, the following procedures shall apply.

Determine the applicable MPM between the terminal points of the fare.
Add the ticketed point mileages (TPM) between the cities on the itinerary, including all intermediate ticketed points. Intermediate points of through flights are not considered when computing mileages. The ticketed point mileages to be used to determine the actual mileage for the itinerary are those published in the International Air Transport Association Ticketed Point Mileage Manual. NOTE: "Ticketed Points" are those points which would be shown in the "good for passage" section of a passenger ticket. Two flight numbers or two carriers (such as an interchange flight) are not permitted on the flight coupon. If, on a through fare, a portion of the journey is to be traveled by means of surface transportation, the direct or lowest combination of currently published ticketed point mileages is to be used, whether or not air services exist over such sectors, unless noted in Permissible Surface Transportation exception cities (3)(f) above.
Compare the total TPM's to the applicable MPM permitted at the direct fare between the two points. If the total TPM's are equal to or less than the MPM, the itinerary is allowed at the published direct fare.

If the total TPM's for a fare component exceed the MPM published in connection with a fare, a surcharge becomes necessary. Where the sum of the ticketed point mileages for the routing option is greater than the maximum permitted mileage, the direct route fare shall be surcharged in accordance with the following formula:

Divide the sum of the ticketed point mileages by the maximum permitted mileage. If the result is:	Then the fare shall be surcharged by:
Over 1.00 but less than or equal to 1.05	5 percent
Over 1.05 but less than or equal to 1.10	10 percent
Over 1.10 but less than or equal to 1.15	15 percent
Over 1.15 but less than or equal to 1.20	20 percent
Over 1.20 but less than or equal to 1.25	25 percent

If the sum total of TPM's exceeds the adjusted MPM shown at 25 percent in the Excess Mileage Percentage Table, the applicable fare will be the combination of two or more fares along the desired routing which produces the lowest fare.

Extra Mileage allowances are permitted in certain markets in addition to the published MPM's; however, only one extra mileage allowance is permitted in connection with a one way or half round trip fare component. Extra mileage allowances apply only in connection with the through fares between the points or areas specified, and apply only when shown on the ticket as ticketed points. The extra mileage allowance is deducted from the sum total of the TPM's before making the comparison between this total and the applicable MPM's.

Special provisions for Brazil with regard to fare components which originate or terminate in Rio De Janeiro or Sao Paulo:
NOTE: This provision does not apply when both RIO and SAO are included in the same fare component.
1. If a fare to or from Rio de Janeiro falls within the MPM, and the fare for the same route to or from Sao Paulo exceeds the MPM, the fare to and from the latter point need not be surcharged.
2. If a fare to or from Sao Paulo falls within the MPM, and the fare for the same route to or from Rio de Janeiro exceeds the MPM, the fare to and from the latter point need not be surcharged.
3. If a fare to or from Rio de Janeiro must be surcharged, the fare for the same routing to or from Sao Paulo need not take a higher surcharge (or vice versa).
4. This rule applies only to fare components within Area 1.
(Applicable to transatlantic fare components between South America and Europe/Middle East/Area 3) When travel is on direct service from a point in South America and CHI/DFW/MIA/NYC to a point in Europe/Middle East/Area 3, the mileage for these two sectors shall be the TPM between the last point of departure in South America directly to the first point of arrival in Europe/Middle East/Area 3 or vice versa. In addition, this provision will apply when New York or Chicago/Boston is the gateway to/from a point in Europe/Middle East/Area 3 and Miami or Dallas/Ft. Worth is the gateway to/from a point in South America, and if travel is via AA single plane service between New York or Chicago/(N)Boston and Miami or Dallas/Ft. Worth.
(Applicable to fare components between the Canary Islands and Canada/Mexico/U.S.A. via Madrid) If a mileage surcharge is required, the surcharge to the direct fare shall be the surcharge applicable to/from Madrid only if resulting in a lower percentage than the normal surcharge to the direct fare to/from the Canary Islands.
Limitations on Indirect Travel
1. General Limitation A fare component may not include more than:
  1. (aa) One departure from origin, or
  2. (bb) One arrival at destination, or
  3. (cc) One stopover at any one ticketed point.
2. Additional Limitations
  1. (aa) (Applicable to fare components within Area 1, and to fare components between points in Area 1 and Area 3 via the Pacific, including Around-the-World journeys) An intermediate ticketed point may not be included more than once in any one way or half round trip fare component, whether or not a stopover is made at such point. A separate side trip fare must be charged and added to the through fare.
    EXCEPTION: Unless prohibited by individual fare rule or routing, for fare components between Area 1 and Area 3 via the Pacific, an intermediate ticketed point may be included more than once in a through one way or half round trip fare component, provided that travel to/from such ticketed point is solely via the services of AA.
  2. (bb) Unless otherwise stated in the applicable fare rule(s), a ticket may not include more than four international ticketed point arrivals or four international ticketed point departures in any single country including arrival and departure surface sector points.
  3. (cc) (CANCELLED)

    EXCEPTION 3: See chart in (E) below for exceptions.
2. When the normal fare for a fare component of an itinerary is lower than an intermediate point normal fare, the fare from origin to destination must be raised to the amount of such higher fare. All conditions of the normal fare between origin and destination shall apply.
  EXCEPTION: See chart in (e) below for exceptions.
3. If travel from the origin to the destination of the fare component exceeds the published MPM, the appropriate excess mileage surcharge must be applied to the higher intermediate fare.
4. When comparing normal fares of the same class of service, the lowest qualifying mileage or routing fare should be used for comparison (See F below).
  1. (aa) A first class fare is compared with a first class fare; if no first class fare, compare with intermediate class fare (or next lower class fare).
  2. (bb) An intermediate class fare is compared with an intermediate class fare; if no intermediate class fare, compare with the highest economy class fare.
  3. (cc) An economy class fare is compared with an economy class fare, if no economy class fare, use next higher fare.

Not used
Special Fares
When applying a special fare with intermediate ticketed points, the following procedure must be followed:
1. Compare the applicable normal fare from origin to destination, with the applicable normal fare from:
  1. (aa) the origin to any intermediate stopover point,
  2. (bb) any intermediate stopover point to the destination, and This check should be made as outlined in paragraph (D)(5)(a) Normal Fares. Use applicable normal fares in the same aircraft cabin as the applicable through special fare. If there is no higher intermediate normal fare, charge the through applicable special fare from origin to destination (surcharged if necessary).
    EXCEPTION 1: When journey originates in West Africa, higher intermediate points must be checked from all en route ticketed points in West Africa.
    EXCEPTION 2: (Applicable for travel originating from Australia/New Zealand except for travel between Australia/New Zealand and Europe via both Pacific and Atlantic oceans) The fare for each international fare component to/from Australia/New Zealand shall not be less than the fare from the point or origin to any ticketed point in the fare component.
    EXCEPTION 3: See chart in (E) below for exceptions.
2. If there is a higher normal fare as determined by (i) above, a check for higher intermediate special fares must be made.
  1. (aa) Compare the applicable special fare from origin to destination to applicable special fares of the same type between points which contain higher intermediate normal fares in (i) above
    NOTE 1: Advance purchase, minimum/maximum stay, and inventory are not considered in determining which intermediate fares are applicable.
    NOTE 2: If there is more than one applicable special fare of the type needed, the lowest of such fares applies.
    NOTE 3: When checking a one-way special fare, only one-way special fares may be used for comparison.
  2. (bb) If there is not an applicable fare of the same type, but there is a fare of the same type which is not applicable, use the lowest of any such fare for this comparison.
  3. (cc) If no fare of the same type exists between any two points, an applicable higher type special fare must be used. For the purposes of this rule, fares are listed by type from lowest to highest as follows: Advance Purchase Excursion (APEX); if not available, compare with Instant Purchase/Public Excursion (PEX); if not available, compare with Budget; if not available, compare with Excursion.
  4. (dd) If there is no applicable fare of the higher type between two points, but there is a fare of that type which is not applicable, use the lowest of any such fare of the higher type for this comparison.
  5. (ee) If no special fare of the same type exists between two points, and no special fare of a higher type is present, use the applicable normal fare in the same cabin between these points for this comparison.
  6. (ff) If none of these intermediate fares is higher than the applicable special fare from origin to destination, charge the through fare (surcharged if necessary.
  7. (gg) If one or more of these intermediate fares is higher than the applicable special fare from origin to destination, raise the through fare to the highest of such fares (surcharged if necessary).

Special Provisions/No Applicable Fares/Unpublished Intermediate Point Fares/Side Trip
1. When a fare component is routed via an intermediate point for which no applicable fare exists due to routing/stopover/transfer restrictions, ignore the restrictive provisions and select the fare most applicable to the route of travel.
2. When no applicable fare exists due to limitations of indirect travel; ignore the restriction of indirect travel between the points for which the higher intermediate fare check applies.
3. When a fare component includes an intermediate ticketed point for which no through fare is published, the HIP check will not apply.
4. For the purpose of the higher intermediate fare check, when both the origin and destination points of a side trip are shown as connections, a stopover will be considered to have been taken at such point(s) if more than 24 hours elapses between the arrival at the point of origin of the side trip and the departure from the termination point of the side trip.

Construction of Fares via Different Classes of Service (Applicable to normal fare travel)
1. When travel is via different classes of service, the fare must not be higher than the lowest fare resulting from the following:
  1. The combination of sector fares for the class(es) of service used.
  2. Within each fare component, the applicable through fare for the lowest class of service, plus a differential in the direction of the fare component for each sector where a higher class of service is used; such differential being the difference between the applicable one way or half round trip fare (surcharged, if necessary) for the lowest class of service charged and the corresponding one way or half round trip fare for the higher class fare of the same type.
    EXCEPTION 1: Applicable to fare components between Area 1 - Area 2/Area 3. When economy class service is used and the transatlantic segment is flown in intermediate class, a differential between economy and intermediate class is not permitted.
    EXCEPTION 2: Applicable to fare components between Area 1 - Area 2/Area 3. When the transatlantic segment is flown in first class and other segments are in a lower class, differential construction is not permitted.
    EXCEPTION 3: Applicable to fare components between Area 1 - Area 3. When Economy Class service is used and the Transpacific segment is flown in Intermediate Class, a differential between Economy and Intermediate Class is not permitted.
    EXCEPTION 4: Applicable to fare components between Area 1 - Area 3. When the Transpacific segment is flown in First Class and other segments are in a lower class, differential construction is not permitted.
    EXCEPTION 5: Applicable to fare components within Area 1. When Economy Class service is used and the segment between the United States and South America (excluding Panama) is flown in Intermediate Class, a differential between Economy and Intermediate Class is not permitted.
    EXCEPTION 6: Applicable to fare components within Area 1. When the segment between the United States and South America (excluding Panama) is flown in First Class and other segments are in a lower class, differential construction is not permitted.
  3. The through fare for the highest class of service used.
  4. The through fare for a higher class of service than the lowest class used, plus a differential in the direction of the fare component for each sector where the highest class of service is used.
    EXAMPLE: NYC-Y-LON-F-ATH
    CHARGE: NYC-ATH, C
    DIFFERENTIAL: LON-ATH, F
    MINUS: LON-ATH, C
  5. For the purpose of this provision, fares are published in the following descending order of classes of service.
    1. (aa) First Class
    2. (bb) Intermediate Class
    3. (cc) Economy Class
2. For all first and intermediate class fares: Unless otherwise stated in a fare rule, when paying through AA intermediate class fares, passengers are permitted to sit in first class on AA flights within Area 1 not offering intermediate class seating.
3. It is permissible to calculate a differential over segments not booked in a higher class provided the following requirements are met.
  1. At least one segment of the through fare component must be booked in the lower class of service applicable to the fare being charged.
  2. The resulting differential must be lower than the differential for the segment(s) where a higher class is used or the combination of differentials when applicable.
  3. The differential must not be calculated beyond the terminal points (origin and destination) of the through component.
4. The application of differential construction must not be used to circumvent any stopover or transfer restrictions applicable to the through fare for the lowest class of service charged.
5. Differentials are calculated using fares of the same type. For this purpose, fare types are defined as either:
  1. Unrestricted (e.g. compare Business Unrestricted to Economy Unrestricted)
  2. Restricted (e.g. compare First Restricted to Economy Restricted)
    Note: There may be more than one fare with the same Fare type for a class of service as defined in 6 (e) (i), (ii) above. If more than one applicable fare exists for the same fare type within the same class of service which results in more than one differential calculation, the one providing the lowest result must be used. If a calculation using fares of the same type is not possible, differing fare types must be used. When multiple calculations are possible, a zero differential is not permitted as the lowest result of such calculations. ATPCO fare type codes (e.g. ER/ERS) are not used To further differentiate fares of the same fare type.
    EXCEPTION 1: In a case where applicable routing and mileage based fares exist in each class of service and are of the same fare type, the conditions of the fares used in the differential calculation must be: (i) Routing based, or (ii) Mileage based
    EXCEPTION 2: In the absence of a lower class fare for the sector for which a differential is charged, use the applicable fare for the next lower class.
    EXCEPTION 3: (Applicable to fare components between the U.S.A./Canada and Central/ Panama) When a differential is to be calculated between first/intermediate and economy class fares, use the same economy fare basis code as used for the through economy class fare charged. In the absence of the same economy class fare basis code, use an economy fare of the same fare type as the through fare. If no economy fare of the same type exists when compared to the through fare type, economy fares of another type should be used in the differential calculation. If more than one calculation is possible, the one providing the lowest result must be used. When multiple calculations are possible, a zero differential is not permitted as the lowest result of such calculations.
    EXAMPLE 1: BOS-B-MIA-J-PTY
    Charge: BOS-PTY-B2
    Differential: MIA-PTY-J
    Minus: MIA-PTY-B2
    EXAMPLE 2: LAX-J-TYO-Y-SIN
    Charge: LAX-SIN-YO2
    Differential: LAX-TYO-JX
    Minus: LAX-TYO-YX2*
    *A YO2 fares does not exist LAXTYO, therefore an economy fare of the same type as the through fare (restricted) is used (YX2). An unrestricted fare (JX) is used for the higher class differential amount due to the lack of an applicable restricted fare.
Around The World Fares
Around-the-World fares are circle trip fares which are applicable to continuous eastbound or westbound travel commencing from and returning to the same point via both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
1. An Around-the-World fare is constructed by using that particular combination of two or more half round trip fares which produces the lowest total fare from the point of origin and return to the same point.
2. Unless provided in specified fare rules, only normal fares may be used to construct an Around-the-World fare.
NOT USED
Minimum Fares
Having established the international fare for a one way, open jaw, circle trip, or Around-the-World journey in accordance with normal rules, including the higher intermediate point rule and mileage surcharge, where applicable, a separate calculation ignoring mileage surcharge must be made. When this separate calculation results in a higher fare, such higher fare must be charged. Separate fares and separate minimum checks are charged for side trips. For the purpose of minimum fare checks, when both the origin and destination of a side trip are shown as connections, a stopover will be considered to have been taken at such point(s) if more than 24 hours elapses between the arrival at the point of origin of the side trip and the departure from the termination point of the side trip
1. One Way Backhaul
  When an itinerary qualifies as a one way journey, a one way minimum check is necessary for each component of the itinerary. The fare for the component must not be less than the amount obtained from either of the following calculations:
  1. Establish the through fare in accordance with normal rules including the higher intermediate fare rule and mileage surcharges, where applicable.
  2. Compare the unsurcharged fare from point of origin to the highest intermediate stopover point to the unsurcharged fare from origin to destination. Use fares in the same class of service as the through fare charged. If the fare to the highest intermediate stopover point is higher than the fare to the destination, add the difference between the low fare and the high fare to the high fare. Any differentials are disregarded when making the comparison. If the resulting amount in (ii) above is higher than the fare charged for the component in (i) above, the difference must be added to the fare calculation.
    EXCEPTION 1: If a fare component includes no stopovers and/or no higher assessed intermediate fare, no backhaul shall apply.
    EXCEPTION 2: No one way minimum check is required if the itinerary qualifies for half round trip fares.
    EXCEPTION 3: The one way minimum check is not required on any component that has been calculated using half of a round trip special fare.
    EXCEPTION 4: When a journey does not qualify as a round or circle trip, no one way minimum check is required for fare components of any round or circle trip subjourneys used in the fare construction.
2. Circle Trip Minimum
  The fare for a circle trip journey must not be less than the highest direct round trip fare from the point of origin of the journey to all stopover points on the itinerary for the lowest class of service charged via the applicable global indicator, and regardless of the number of subjourneys used to construct the fare for the journey. When fares charged from the point of origin to stopover points differ according to carrier(s)/global indicators, the fare to be used for the check must be the lower of such carrier(s)/global indicator fares. Ignore inventory/routing/stopover restrictions/transfer restrictions when determining the direct fare. A circle trip minimum for special fares is calculated using fares of the same type as those charged in the itinerary. Special fare types are: Round Trip APEX, One Way APEX, Instant Purchase/Public Excursion (PEX), Budget, and Excursion.
  EXCEPTION 1: The circle trip minimum check is not applied to a point(s) on the journey permitted to be disregarded by the higher intermediate point rule.
  EXCEPTION 2: (For special fares only) In addition to the provisions in Exception 1, above, the circle trip minimum check is not applied for point(s) on the journey which have passed the hip check and not qualified to be a hip point.
  NOTE: The intermediate point is checked for a higher intermediate fare but one is not found.
  EXCEPTION 3: (For special fare circle trip minimum check) The circle trip minimum check is not applied to a point(s) on the itinerary which has no special fare of the same type as that charged in the itinerary.
  EXCEPTION 4: The circle trip minimum check is not applied if an itinerary consists entirely of end-on-end round trips.
  EXCEPTION 5: The circle trip minimum check is not applied to end-on-end special fares.
  EXCEPTION 6: The circle trip minimum check is not applied to an itinerary that contains a mixture of normal and special fares.
  EXCEPTION 7: The circle trip minimum check is not applied a connecting point(s) that is a fare break point(s)on a journey.
  EXCEPTION 8: The circle trip minimum check is not applied to an itinerary containing a government/military fare.
  EXCEPTION 9: (Applicable for travel commencing in Australia/New Zealand) The circle trip minimum check is applied from point of origin to any ticketed point on the route of travel.
3. Fares for other than Round or Circle Trips (The following rules apply to all fares except round trip special fares)
4. Around-the-World Minimum
  1. After an Around-the-World fare has been constructed, all stopover points on the routing must be checked to determine whether any round trip fares exist from the point of origin to any stopover points on the routing which are higher than the constructed fare. The fare for an Around-the-World journey must not be less than the highest direct normal round trip fare applicable to the class of service charged from the point of origin to any stopover point on the route of travel to any stopover point on the route of travel. However, any point(s) permitted to be disregarded by the higher intermediate point rule need not be checked for the purpose of Around-the-World minimum fare check. In general, transatlantic round trip fares from the point of origin to other points on the routing differ from the corresponding transpacific round trip fares from the point of origin to the same points. For the purpose of this rule, transatlantic round trip fares must be compared with transpacific round trip fares from point of origin to each stopover point on the routing; and the lower of the two will be considered the direct fare. Separate fares are assessed for side trips.
  2. One Class of Service The fare for an Around-the-World journey traveled in one class of service must not be less than the highest direct round trip fare from the point of origin to any stopover point on the routing.
  3. Different Classes of Services The fare for an Around-the-World journey involving different classes of service must not be less than the highest direct round trip fare for the lowest class of service charged from the point of origin to any stopover point on the routing, plus applicable differentials for sectors traveled in higher classes of service.
Maximum Fares (Applicable to normal fares, for travel via the same or different classes of service)
A combination of fares of the same or different class of service (see NOTE below) must not exceed the lowest of the following fares or combination of fares via the same carrier(s) between and via the same point(s):
1. A combination of fares via the class of service used for a portion of the transportation and fares for a higher class of service for the remainder of the transportation, or
2. A combination of fares via higher classes of service, or
3. A through published fare via a higher class of service.
  NOTE: For the purpose of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) only, fares are published in the following descending order of classes of service.
  1. Premium Class
  2. First Class
  3. Intermediate Class
  4. Caribbean Deluxe Economy
  5. Economy Class

STOPOVERS

Stopovers will be permitted under the following conditions:
1. Stopovers must be arranged with AA in advance and specified on the ticket.
2. Stopovers will be permitted at any point which can be included in an itinerary constructed either by the use of a mileage routing or as specified in the published routing, unless such stopover is prohibited by the AA's tariff or government regulations.
3. Stopover Provisions for Normal/Special Fares (Applicable to all fares for which stopovers other than at the point of turnaround are prohibited or restricted in number.) When travel at a through fare is interrupted by surface travel, either at intermediate points or at the point of turnaround, the points of disembarkation and embarkation of the interrupted portion of travel will be considered together as one stopover or the one point of turnaround.
4. Only one stopover is permitted at any single point on the itinerary of a journey traveled at a one way or half a round trip fare. The origin and destination or point of turnaround, as the case may be, may not be included in such itinerary more than once, regardless as to whether or not a stopover is made at such point.
Except as otherwise provided, stopovers will be permitted free of charge at all intermediate points on routings applicable to fares between points in the U.S.A./Canada on the one hand and points outside the U.S.A./Canada on the other hand.

DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this rule:
1. Initial carrier means the carrier performing the initial transportation under the tour itinerary or the carrier selling and issuing the transportation on behalf of the carrier(s) participating in the tour itinerary.

Such written application shall designate the name of the tour conductor. Written application must be directed to the office of the initial carrier that will arrange the transportation and must also include a description of the proposed itinerary of the group with all pertinent information describing the group if not fully set forth in the advertising matter submitted.
2. Travel as a Group
  The passengers included in the tour must travel as an organized touring group and for that purpose the initial carrier must approve the itinerary of the various passengers forming the group and coordinate their transportation under the advertised group tour.

3. Issuance of Ticket
  Upon determination that the application meets the requirements of this rule, the initial carrier will advise the agent or organizer that the tour conductor's transportation--either free or at the reduced fare, as the case may be--will be issued. In cases where two or more carriers may have arrangements between them for the issuance of tour conductors' transportation, the initial carrier will issue such transportation on all such carriers.
4. Authorization
  In obtaining approval to accept free or reduced fare transportation of a tour conductor as provided herein, written approval must be given by an authorized official of the carrier(s) furnishing the transportation.

Upon the earlier of the Expiration of such additional period or the usage of all AAIRPASS mileage, the Agreement shall terminate, provided that it shall continue in effect until payment in full for any excess mileage charges incurred in conjunction with holder's last AAIRPASS mileage use. If during any Anniversary Year the AAIRPASS holder shall exceed the mileage allowed for that year, such excess mileage will be billed, pursuant to contract, at the then prevailing rate, as specified in (G) below. Failure to pay for such excess mileage will result in suspension of AAIRPASS privileges until such time excess miles are paid for.
MILEAGE USAGE
Mileage flown by holder, and when applicable by holder and companion, will be deducted from the annual mileage allotted to his or her AAIRPASS (except for Unlimited Lifetime AAIRPASS holders) as follows:
1. Mileage on a through flight (i.e., one with at least one stop between origin and destination points, but not requiring a change of aircraft) or on a nonstop flight, will equal nonstop mileage between origin and destination points.
2. Mileage on a connecting flight (i.e., requiring change of aircraft) will equal nonstop mileage provided:
  1. the trip consists of no more than three separate flight segments; and
  2. scheduled connections between consecutive segments occur within 6 hours (24 hours for connections to or from Hawaii, San Juan, the U.S. Virgin Islands, some International flights), and

If AAIRPASS mileage, including premium for First Class Travel and Business Class, flown by holder (or his or her companion(s)) in any anniversary year (as determined by anniversary dates) exceeds holder's mileage allotment for that year (including additional mileage and unused mileage from previous years), holder hereby promises to pay AA for such mileage upon receipt of invoice therefore. Such excess mileage charges will be made at a rate per mile to be fixed by AA from time to time. For travel during any calendar month period, this rate shall be the rate specified in holder's statement for the preceding month. The rate for 5 Year Term AAIRPASSES and Regular Lifetime AAIRPASSES shall be based on the average full fare Coach rate per mile on AA's then current route system. By using the AAIRPASS card to incur excess mileage, holder consents and agrees to such charges.
Excess miles flown in First Class/Business Class will be billed at the premium mileage rate as set forth in (C)(2)(b) above.
WORK STOPPAGE
In the event of a strike or work stoppage that requires the total suspension of AA flights, the following provisions will apply:
1. beginning with the 8th day of any such strike, and for each succeeding day, 100 additional miles of future air travel will be credited to Holder's currently available mileage upon termination of such strike; and
2. for each full month (i.e. 30 days) such strike continues, holder's anniversary date shall be extended to the first day of the month following the anniversary date, and the anniversary date as so extended shall become the anniversary date for the purposes of determining annual mileage accruals and AAIRPASS expiration.
USAGE BY CARD HOLDERS ONLY
For purchaser's protection, holder's signature will be required at check-in for a flight. Additional identification (such as driver's license or credit card) may, at AA's discretion, be required. AAIRPASS is valid for use only by the individual whose name appears on the card. AAIRPASS cards and purchaser's rights under this rule are not transferable, and coupons used in conjunction with AAIRPASS travel have no cash value. Companion travel may not be sold or bartered under any circumstances.
TRAVEL
AAIRPASS entitles the holder to one seat per flight (two seats per flight if a qualified Lifetime AAIRPASS 5 Year Companion Term AAIRPASS or Leisure Lifetime Companion AAIRPASS holder travels with a companion) and such travel is subject to AA's Rules Tariff as in effect at the time of travel and any other general terms and conditions applicable to travel on AA which may subsequently replace or supplement such Tariff. AAIRPASS is valid only for travel on AA and American Eagle. Travel is authorized anywhere on AA's system, except certain International destinations specified by AA.
FRAUDULENT USAGE
If AA determines that an AAIRPASS has been fraudulently used, AA reserves the right to revoke the AAIRPASS and all privileges associated with it. Purchaser will thereupon forfeit all rights to such AAIRPASS, without refund.
FORCE MAJEURE
Except as provided above, AA shall not be liable for delays in performance hereunder resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control.
PAYMENT
If purchaser fails to make payment under the terms of a fully executed contract, a processing fee of USD 250.00 will be assessed by AA.
REFUNDS
Refunds of AAIRPASSES will be made only in accordance with the provisions set forth in the contract between AA and the purchaser of the AAIRPASS.
1. AA reserves the right to terminate this tariff and refund the purchase price of any AAIRPASS less charges for mileage actually flown, dependent on plan purchase, except for Unlimited Mileage AAIRPASSES, which will be refunded in accordance with (N)(2)(a) below, of this agreement.
2. Upon receipt of a refund request within 90 days, American shall perform the following calculations pertaining to holder's AAIRPASS and refund the lesser amount of A or B (may be $0), after deducting sums due for excess mileage flown:
  1. Remaining full months before expiration Total AAIRPASS months purchased X Purchase Price * equals A
  2. Remaining mileage* Total mileage purchased* X Purchase Price * equals B (*including additional mileage)
3. For purposes of applying such formulas to refund on Lifetime AAIRPASSES, those AAIRPASSES shall be determined to have the following terms: Regular Lifetime AAIRPASS - 120 months (10 years): Unlimited Mileage Lifetime AAIRPASS - 200 months. To determine the mileage purchased with any Regular Lifetime AAIRPASS, multiply the annual mileage allowance by the number of months given in the preceding sentence, and add any additional mileage purchased. The second formula above is inapplicable to refunds on Unlimited Mileage Lifetime AAIRPASSES or Unlimited 5 Year Term AAIRPASSES.
(The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to Leisure Lifetime, Regular Lifetime or Unlimited Lifetime AAIRPASSES.) Where the purchaser of an AAIRPASS is a corporation which has designated in the contract between AA and the purchaser that the Holder of the AAIRPASS will be an employee of that corporation, such corporation may redesignate the employee of such corporation who will be the Holder of the AAIRPASS in accordance with the terms of the contract between AA and the purchaser. AA will assess a charge of $100.00 for each such redesignation.
