In addition, you shall not be entitled to be carried if the Ticket presented is mutilated or if it has been altered otherwise than by us or our Authorised Agent. In the case of an Electronic Ticket, you shall not be entitled to be carried on a flight unless you provide positive identification and a valid Electronic Ticket has been duly issued in your name.

3.4.2 In case of loss or mutilation of a Ticket (or part of it) by you or non- presentation of a Ticket containing the Passenger Coupon and all unused Flight Coupons, upon your request, provided that we have issued the said Ticket, we will replace such Ticket (or part of it) by issuing a new Ticket, provided there
is evidence, readily ascertainable at the time, that a Ticket valid for the flight(s) in question was duly issued and you sign an agreement to reimburse us for any costs and losses, up to the value of the original Ticket, which are necessarily and reasonably incurred by us or another Carrier for misuse of the Ticket. We will not claim reimbursement from you for any such losses, which result from our own negligence. We may charge a reasonable administration fee for this service, unless the loss or mutilation was due to negligence by us or our Authorised Agent.

3.4.3 Where such evidence, as stated in Article 3.4.2 above, is not available or you do not sign such an agreement, we may require you to pay up to the full Ticket price for a replacement Ticket, subject to refund if and when we are satisfied that the lost or mutilated Ticket has not been used before the expiry of its validity. If, upon finding of the original Ticket before the expiry of its validity,
you surrender it to us, the foregoing refund will be processed at that time.

3.5 Period of validity

3.5.3 If after having commenced your journey, you are prevented from travelling within the period of validity of the Ticket by reason of illness, we may extend the period of validity of your Ticket until the date when you become fit to travel or until our first flight after such date, from the point where the journey
is resumed on which space is available in the class of service for which the fare has been paid. Such illness must be attested to by a medical certificate. When the Flight Coupons remaining in the Ticket involve one or more Stopovers, the validity of such Ticket may be extended for not more than three months from the date you become fit to travel according to such certificate.

3.5.4 Should the validity of your Ticket be extended in accordance with Article 3.5.3 above, we will similarly extend the period of validity of Tickets of other members of your Immediate Family accompanying you at the journey.

accompanying the Passenger may likewise be modified. Any such modification shall be made upon receipt of a valid death certificate and any such extension
of validity shall not be for a period longer than forty-five (45) Days from the date of the death.

3.6 Coupon sequence and use

3.6.1 The Ticket you have purchased is valid only for the transportation as shown on the Ticket, from the place of departure via any Agreed Stopping Places to the final destination. The fare you have paid is based upon the Tariff and is for the transportation as shown on the Ticket. The Ticket forms an essential part of our contract with you. It will not be honoured and will lose its validity if all the Flight Coupons are not used in such order as provided in the Ticket.

3.6.2 Should you wish to change any aspect of your transportation you must contact us in advance. The fare for your new transportation will be calculated and you will be given the option of accepting the new price or maintaining your original transportation as ticketed. Should you be required to change any aspect of your transportation due to Force Majeure, you must contact us as soon as practicable and we will use reasonable efforts to transport you at reasonable costs to your next Stopover or final destination, without recalculation of the fare.

3.6.3 Please be aware that while some types of changes will not result in a change of fare, others, such as changing the place of departure (for example if you do not fly the first flight according to your original Ticket) or reversing the direction you travel, can result in an increase in price. It should be noted that pursuant to our Tariff, fares are valid only on the dates and for the flights shown on the Ticket and may not be changed at all, or only upon payment of an additional fee.

3.6.4 Each Flight Coupon contained in your Ticket will be accepted for transportation in the class of service on the date and flight for which space has been reserved. When a Ticket is originally issued without a reservation being specified, space may be reserved later subject to the Tariff and the availability of space on the flight requested.

3.6.5 Please be advised that in the event you do not show up for any flight without advising us in advance, we may cancel your return or onward reservations. However, if you do advise us in advance, we will not cancel your subsequent flight reservations, but it shall be noticed that Article 3.6.3 shall apply in such case.

3.7 Name and address of carrier

Our name may be abbreviated to our Airline Designator Code, or otherwise, in the Ticket. Our address shall be deemed to be the airport of departure shown opposite the first abbreviation of our name in the “carrier” box in the Ticket, or in the case of an Electronic Ticket, as indicated for our first flight segment in the Itinerary/Receipt.

4.1 Fares

4.1.1 Fares apply only for Carriage from the airport at the point of origin to the airport at the point of destination, unless otherwise expressly stated. Fares do not include ground transport service between airports and between airports and town terminals unless otherwise expressly stated.

4.1.2 Unless otherwise agreed your fare will be calculated in accordance with the Tariff in effect on the date you make the reservation of your Ticket for travel on the specific dates and itinerary shown on it. Please note that should your itinerary or the dates of travel be changed due to your requests, this may affect the fare to be paid.

4.2 Taxes, fees and charges

Applicable taxes, fees and charges imposed by any government or any other authority or
by the operator of an airport in relation to your Ticket, shall be payable by you. At the time you purchase your Ticket, you will be advised of taxes, fees and charges not included in the fare and they will normally be shown separately on the Ticket. The taxes, fees and charges imposed on air travel are constantly changing and can be imposed after the date of Ticket issuance. If there is an increase in a tax, fee or charge shown on the Ticket, you will be obliged to pay it. Likewise, if a new tax, fee or charge is imposed even after Ticket issuance, you will be obliged to pay it. Similarly, in the event any taxes, fees or charges which you have paid to us at the time of Ticket issuance are abolished or reduced, you will upon contacting us be entitled to a refund. Should you be entitled to a refund amounting to not less than 17 SDR, we will endeavour to contact you through our various communication channels (e.g. through our web site www.flygbra.se).

4.3 Time limits for payment of fare etc.

4.3.1 If you have not paid for the Ticket prior to the specified time limit set by us or our Authorised Agents, we may cancel your reservation.

4.3.2 If payment of a Ticket is made by credit card, an authorisation control will be made. Such control has to be made through the IATA (International Air Transport Association) system and includes inter alia a check that the card is valid, not reported lost or stolen and that sufficient funds/credit is available. The authorisation control is made in US dollars. If no issues arise in the authorisation procedure, an amount will be reserved on your account for the payment of your Ticket. Please note that the amount reserved may, due to different exchange rates being applied in the process, exceed the fare agreed for your Ticket. The amount finally drawn from your account/charged to your card will of course correspond to the agreed fare. However, should not sufficient funds/credit be available at reservation (as a result of the different exchange rates applied or otherwise), the transaction will not be confirmed and your Ticket will not be paid. We assume no responsibility whatsoever for any Damage you may suffer as a result hereof.

4.4 Currency

Fares, taxes, fees and charges are payable in the currency, at the time for payment, of the country in which the Ticket is issued, unless another currency is indicated by us or our Authorised Agent at or before the time payment is made (for example, because of the non- convertibility of the local currency). We may at our own discretion, accept payment in another currency.

5.1.1 We or our Authorised Agents will record your reservation(s). Upon request we will provide you with a confirmation of your reservation(s), either by fax, e- mail or in any other written form.
5.1.2 It should be noted that pursuant to the Tariff certain fares have conditions, which limit or exclude your right to change or cancel reservations or to request a refund.

5.2 Seating

We will try to honour advance seating requests, however, we cannot guarantee any particular seat. We reserve the right to assign or reassign seats at any time, even after boarding of the aircraft. This may be necessary for operational, safety or security reasons.

5.3 Reconfirmation of reservations

5.3.1 Onward or return reservations may be subject to the requirement to reconfirm the reservations within specified time limits. We will advise you when we require reconfirmation and how and where such reconfirmation should be made. If reconfirmation is required and you fail to reconfirm, we may cancel your onward or return reservations. However, if you inform us that you still wish to travel and there is space on the flight, we will reinstate your reservations and transport you. If there is no space on the flight, we will use reasonable efforts to transport you to your next or final destination with application of Article 3.6.3.

5.3.2 You should check the reconfirmation requirements of any other Carrier involved in your journey and, where required, reconfirm with the Carrier of the flight in question.
