Passengers embarking on a journey including a final destination or a stop in a country other than the country of departure are advised that the provisions of the treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to their entire journey, including any portion carried out within the country of departure or destination. For passengers undertaking a journey to or from the United States of America, or including a planned stopover there, the Convention and the special contracts of carriage, incorporated in the tariffs in force, provide that the liability of certain carriers parties to these special contracts, is most often limited, in the event of the death of a passenger or of bodily injury suffered by him, to the only damages which can be proved without the compensation paid being able to exceed US $ 75,000 per passenger . Up to this limit, the carrier's liability is not contingent on fault on his part.

For passengers traveling by a carrier not party to these special contracts or who undertake a journey that does not include a destination, point of departure or planned stopover in the United States of America, the carrier's liability vis-à-vis passengers in the event of death or personal injury is limited in most cases to an approximate sum of US $ 10,000 or US $ 20,000.

The list of the names of the carriers that have signed up to the special contracts referred to above is made available to the public in all the agencies of these carriers and can also be consulted on request at the tour operator.

Additional protection can be obtained by purchasing insurance from an insurance company. Such insurance is not subject to any limitation of the carrier's liability under the Warsaw Convention or the special contracts referred to above.

The above limitation of liability of US $ 75,000 is to be understood as including legal fees and costs.

Liability for loss, delay or damage to baggage is limited, unless a higher value has been declared in advance and a supplement has been paid.
