4. - Rates and payment modes
4.1 The rate only includes the transport from the departure airport to the arrival one.
The rates applied are those valid when the ticket is purchased and may only be applied to a limited number of seats available.
The carrier reserves the right to deny transport if the applicable rate has not been paid in advance.

4.2 Without prejudice of the provisions on luggage transport set by the following art. 10 of these conditions and in addition to the rate, the passengers will be charged, for every single purchased ticket, all the taxes imposed by the Government or any other authority - airport authorities in particular - on passengers or their luggage or on the usage of all the services, the "operations & security" tax, the surcharge and fuel surcharge, the administrative rights and the issue charges. Rates, taxes, surcharges, administrative rights and issue charges will be paid in the currency required by the carrier upon ticket purchasing at the published rate.

5. - Wind Jet Carnet
The carnet is valid for one year from the purchase. It consists of a certain number of codes, enabling the issue of the same number of one-way tickets (one leg, e.g. Catania – Rome, one way). The carnet is strictly bound to the name/s entered during purchase operations and is valid only for the national leg/s chosen upon purchase, based on the type of carnet actually used. Once the purchase has been successfully carried out, the customer will be sent an e-mail with the codes to be used for the issue of the relevant tickets. The tickets can be issued through the Wind Jet web site. Departing from the provisions of the general conditions of the Wind Jet agreement, neither the leg nor the name can be changed (in case of personal carnet and commuter carnet). Changes of date, of leg, where possible (network carnet), and changes of name between carnet holders only, where possible (business and network carnet), will be charged with the penalties normally applied to the changes of standard tickets, possible rate adjustments excluded. If the leg selected for the carnet is no more operated by Wind Jet, the customer will be refunded the cost of the tickets still to be used (to assess the value, the whole price of the carnet –purchase cost excluded- will be divided by the coupons still to be used). Otherwise, all the coupons still to be used can be transferred to a different leg operated by Wind Jet. If the flight is cancelled, passengers will have the right to be re-routed on a different Wind Jet flight. Otherwise, renouncing the flight, the validation of the coupon will be cancelled so that the coupon can be used again. Wind Jet does not carry unaccompanied minors under 14. Art. 8.6 will be applied in these cases. Would carnet codes not be used for Wind Jet S.p.A. flights within one year from carnet purchase, only the airport taxes of the codes not used will be refunded. The “Carnet Cost” item will not be refunded.

6. - CHANGES, CANCELLATIONS AND DELAYS
6.1 Only if the rate paid for the purchased ticket belongs to the category “Flex”, passengers will have the right to request for the modification of the name or date or flight or leg indicated on the ticket by calling the Call Centre and the agencies associated, without prejudice of the penalties listed below.
The change of name and date, time and leg of the flight will be allowed if requested within 3 hours before the departure, and it will be subject to the opening time of the Call Centre and of the ticket offices of the airport handler.
As for the change of the name, the penalty applied will account for € 40.00 per changed name of the same ticket; the penalty applied to change the date, leg and flight will account for € 30.00 per change requested.
If the price of the already bought and confirmed ticket is lower than the price of the new flight, besides paying the charge detailed above, passengers shall also pay the difference between the original price and the lowest Flex rate available when the change is requested. If the latter is lower than the rate paid on line, no refund will be provided. "New flight" indicates also the leg being the object of the change on the original flight, which is generated when changing the name.
Also in case of modification concerning the “change of name”, both penalties will be applied; more specifically, both the charge accounting for 40.00 Euro per change and the payment of the difference between the price originally paid and the lowest Flex rate available when the change is requested. If such a rate is lower than the originally paid price, no refund will be provided. The change of name will not be allowed if at least one leg of the flight has already been carried out or has expired.
In the tickets of multi-leg flights the name of the passenger shall be the same for all the legs. In case of request for change of leg, national flights can only be substituted by other national flights and international flights can only be substituted by other international flights.
The change of name will entail the assignation to the new ticket owner of all the previously purchased Additional Services that are indicated on the ticket and that belonged to the previous owner (individual passenger) for whose name a change has been requested. No refund will be provided for surcharges or additional services previously purchased.
In case of leg change from a flight where a surcharge is requested for the load of checked luggage into the hold -and if such surcharge has already been paid by the passenger - to a flight where such a surcharge does not apply, the passenger will keep the same conditions as previously purchased but will lose any right to be refunded any cost paid for the surcharge. In case of excess luggage weight passengers shall pay € 10.00 per exceeding Kilogram. For the tickets purchased before 27.10.2009, excess luggage will be charged € 8.00/Kg. The amount of the excess luggage cost and the modes of excess luggage payment, as well as the provisions for the admissibility and/or the prohibition to add up the weight of the different pieces of luggage of single passengers and of the passengers indicated on the same ticket attending check-in counters together, will be regulated by the provisions of the art. 10 below.
In case of leg change from a flight where no surcharge is requested for the load of checked luggage into the hold to a flight where such a surcharge applies, only paying € 7.00 per single item, the passenger will have the faculty to load into the hold a maximum of three checked pieces of luggage with an overall weight limit of 20 Kg. The weight of the three pieces of luggage of each passenger may be added up, but the overall weight shall not exceed 20 Kg. The weight of the single pieces of luggage of different Wind Jet passengers can be added up if passengers are indicated on the same ticket and if each one of them paid for their own luggage, provided that they attend the check-in counter together.In case of excess luggage weight passengers shall pay the difference in luggage weight; the cost of excess luggage is € 10.00 per Kilogram. Passengers are allowed to check further luggage for transportation in the hold but the weight, starting from the fourth checked piece of luggage, will be entirely calculated as excess luggage at a cost of € 10.00 per Kilogram. For the tickets purchased before 27.10.2009 excess luggage will be charged € 8.00/Kg. The payment of the amount due for excess luggage is always settled for every single flight in the relevant airport at the ticket office of the airport handler, which will charge passengers with a fee for the collection and issuing of the ticket. Such fee varies depending on the airport handler operating in the different airports. The maximum checked hold luggage allowance and the weight limit are intended per single passenger, are personal and may not be accumulated and/or shared with those of other passengers. The weight of the single pieces of luggage of different passengers can be added up only in case of passengers indicated on the same ticket and if each one of them paid for their own luggage, provided that they attend the check-in counter together. The payment of € 7.00 per piece of hold luggage (max 3 pieces) shall be settled together with the request for leg change or even during a subsequent stage on our website, but within three hours before flight departure. The payment of the amount due for each piece of excess luggage may be made on our website or also at the airport, in which case passengers will be charged by the handler with a fee for the collection and issuing of the ticket. Such fee varies depending on the airport handler operating in the different airports. Passengers will lose their right to transport the checked luggage in the hold for free with the overall weight limit of 20 kg as previously purchased concerning the original leg. Whichever the case, the provisions under art. 10 below concerning the cost of the pieces of hold luggage (max. 3 pieces of luggage per passenger), the amount of the excess luggage cost and the modes of payment, as well as the provisions for the admissibility and/or the prohibition to add up the weight of the different pieces of luggage of single passengers, will apply. This article 6.1 is hereby expressly stated not to apply if the ticket has been purchased at a rate belonging to the category “Best”.

6.2 Passengers not attending the boarding gate within the fixed time will be charged with the whole cost of the ticket and may request for the refund of airport taxes only, by sending a formal written request by means of a recorded delivery letter.

6.3 Passengers renouncing to use the service for reasons not due to the Carrier may only request for the refund of airport taxes by sending a formal written request by means of a recorded delivery letter.

6.4 If passengers are prevented from departing for causes not depending on them, in that case the provisions of art. 945 of the legislative decree no. DLT 09.05.2005, in force since 02.11.2006, will apply. In any case, the Carrier shall be notified the prevention without any delay.

6.5 In case of flight cancellation, overbooking or prolonged delay, passengers have the rights established by the EC standard (reg. 261/2004/EC ).

6.6 Passengers may claim for refund by sending a formal written request by means of a recorded delivery letter and enclosing to it the reservation code and the bank details for the payment of the amount, if due.

6.7 By means of a written request sent by recorded delivery letter, passengers have the faculty to request for a free ticket, as an alternative to the monetary refund. They will have the right to choose the ticket freely on the same national leg covered by the Carrier.

7. - TRANSPORT CONDITIONS. CHECK-IN
7.1 Passengers shall attend the airport in due time for completing, before flight departure, all the check-in operations; the carrier’s check-in counter opens two hours before the scheduled departure and closes compulsorily 40 minutes before the flight.

7.2 The day of the scheduled departure passengers shall attend the check-in counter with a valid ID. Passengers shall also show the valid documents required by the law of the destination countries to enter their territory.
Passengers have the exclusive responsibility of making sure they possess a valid ID and any further requirement or document required by customs and immigration authorities. Penalties, sanctions, expenses or costs due to the lack of such requirements or of valid documents will be charged to the passengers. Passengers are requested to address the Immigration authorities of the destination countries for possible clarifications before purchasing the ticket.
If the documents shown by passengers are not valid, or if the name of the passenger written on the reservation does not match the one indicated in the ID, the Carrier will deny boarding and consequently the price paid for purchasing the ticket will be lost, except for the airport taxes, that will be immediately refunded.
We specify that passengers shall attend the check-in counters with a valid ID with photo. The following valid documents will be accepted at check-in counters: valid passport, driving licence with photo if issued by the Prefecture, identity card with photo, valid for travel abroad in case of international flights even in case of flights directed to the countries of the Schengen area, and the international student card with photo. National identity cards will be accepted only if they are issued by one of the Schengen countries or by a country that has signed a bilateral agreement with the countries of this convention.

7.3 Passengers shall attend the boarding gate at least 30 minutes before the flight’s scheduled departure time. The boarding gates close 15 minutes before the flight’s scheduled departure time. Passengers arriving late will not be accepted onboard and will lose any right to ticket refund, except for airport taxes only.

7.5 Where allowed by the carrier, WEB check-in can be required. In this case, it will be possible to print the boarding card and choose one’s seat on the aircraft, at any time after the ticket purchase and in any case within 3 hours from the flight’s scheduled departure time, subject to the seats availability.
WEB Check-in can be requested by adult passengers leaving from the airports indicated by the vector and travelling with hand luggage only, within the weight and size limits allowed (maximum weight: 10 kg; maximum size: cm 115 [55x35x25]) and observing the regulations concerning the allowed or prohibited items. WEB Check-In CANNOT be requested by passengers travelling with hold baggage, by minor passengers or passengers travelling with children under 2, by passengers with reduced mobility, visually handicapped persons and/or passengers needing special assistance in the airport, and finally, by passengers travelling with pets

7.6 Passengers that required the WEB Check-in fee service shall autonomously check which is the boarding gate of their flight once in the airport. After checking the gate, passengers shall go to the boarding gate with a valid ID and the printout of their electronic boarding card within 30 minutes before the flight’s scheduled departure time. If passengers do not observe the terms above, the ticket will be cancelled and no refund will be possible for the denied boarding and for the Web Check-In service, except for airport taxes only.

7.7 If passengers that already carried out the WEB Check-in decide to carry hold baggage -that means that they are in one of the conditions precluding the WEB CHECK-IN service as provided for by art. 7.5- they will lose their right to use the electronic boarding card. The price paid for the already bought WEB CHECK-IN service will not be refundable.
Passengers attending the boarding gate after the check-in closure (40 min. before the flight), thus infringing art. 7.5, will loose the right to the flight and will have the right to claim for the refund of airport taxes only.

7.8 If passengers attend the security check point without the electronic boarding card purchased through the WEB Check-in service, they will not be allowed to use this service and, hence, they shall go to the check-in counter for standard check-in procedures. If the check-in counter is already closed (in any case, the time limit for check-in operations is of 40 minutes before flight’s departure), passengers will lose the right to board with the consequent loss of the right to be refunded the already paid ticket, except for airport taxes only. No refund will be granted for the WEB CHECK-IN service.

7.9 This service costs € 3.00 per passenger; passengers are fully responsible for observing the safety regulations concerning any object they wish to carry onboard.

7.10 Passengers accept the condition that seat selection is not binding for the airline. If the Captain (or through a third party, the Flight attendant) asks them to change seat, they will obey this request as provided for by the navigation code and by the provisions of the regulations; or also, if it is necessary for safety reasons.

7.11 If passengers used the WEB CHECK-IN service and, subsequently, requested the carrier for a change of date and/or name and/or leg for the purchased ticket, pursuant to the general conditions of the carrier, and in the cases admitted, they will not have the right to ask for any refund of the WEB CHECK-IN service requested and paid in advance concerning the ticket for which, then, they requested the “changes” detailed above. Consequently, if passengers wish to use the WEB CHECK IN service they shall ask again for a new WEB CHECK-IN for the new ticket, as it has been changed.

7.12 If the carrier re-routes passengers to a different flight, even for reasons internal to the airline, Wind Jet S.p.A., through its help desk, will assign for free to the passengers a new seat, that can be different from the one previously chosen by the passengers and assigned to the same carrier. Otherwise, Wind Jet S.p.A. reserves the right to refund the service purchased before.

Special assistances can be booked exclusively at the Call Centre at the number 89.2020. Such requests shall be received within 48 hours before the flight’s scheduled departure time. The seats are limited. Failure to make this communication at the time of purchase will imply the service not being available at the passenger’s arrival at the airport and the consequent transport denial.

The transport of luggage exceeding 50 kg or the size of 119 cm x 81 cm x 119 cm will not be allowed on the aircraft, neither in the hold nor in passenger cabin; such luggage is to be transported as cargo by a different carrier dealing with cargo transport at passenger own responsibility and discretion.

In case of immediate economical needs, the Carrier is bound to pay the right holders an advanced payment proportioned to the suffered damage, and in case of death, no less than the equivalent of 16.000 Special Drawing Rights in ECU per passenger. Wind Jet's Spa's insurance cover for civil liability conforms to the Regulations.
In case of delay in the transport of checked luggage or passengers, the Carrier is liable for the damage, unless it enforced all the possible measures to avoid it or unless it was impossible to enforce such measures, without prejudice of the compensation limits provided for by the Law.
In the transport of persons, in case of damage due to delay the liability of the carrier is limited to 4,150 Special Drawing Rights per passenger.
In the transport of luggage, in case of destruction, loss, damage or delay, the carrier is liable for up to 1.000 SDR per passenger, unless a special declaration of interest in delivery at destination was made by the passenger when the luggage was handed over to the carrier, upon payment of a surcharge.
In all cases of damage to checked luggage (destruction, loss, delay) if the passenger that holds the right to baggage claim does not inform the Carrier of such an irregularity, the Carrier will assume that the baggage was regularly delivered in good condition and in respect of the transportation agreement. If checked baggage is damaged, passengers must submit a claim in writing within seven days, and in case of delay, within 21 days - in both cases they will otherwise lose this right - from the date the baggage was made available to the passenger. If Carrier receives no such claim, it will assume that the luggage was delivered in due time and in perfect condition in conformity with the transportation contract and passenger loses any right to claim or action.
