ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised that the provisions of treaties known as the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion thereof entirely within a country. A. Where your journey involves travel by a carrier which has not waived the Warsaw Convention limits for death or bodily injury and the defence that they have taken all necessary measures to avoid damage for the first 100,000 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) of any such claim, the Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the liability of such carriers for death of or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed (i) US$75,000.00 per passenger in the case of journeys to, from or with an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, and that this liability up to such limit shall not depend on negligence on the part of the carrier, and (ii) US$10,000.00 or US$20,000.00 in the case of journeys not to, from, or having an agreed stoppi ng place in, the United States of America. The names of carriers party to such special contracts are available at all ticket offices of such carriers and may be examined on request. With respect to carriage in which SIA is the designated or actual carrier, we have waived the applicable liability limit for recoverable compensatory damages in respect of death or bodily injury under the Warsaw Convention. In addition, we have waived the defence available under Article 20 of the Warsaw Convention with respect to any portion of such claim, which does not exceed 100,000 SDR. Except for the above, we reserve the right to rely on any and all defences available under the Warsaw Convention and applicable law. Please refer to our General Conditions of Carriage for Passengers and Baggage or tariffs for a complete text of all provisions applicable. For most international travel (including domestic portions of international journeys) the liability limit is approximately US$9.07 per pound (US$20.00 per kilo) for checked baggage and US$400.00 per passenger for unchecked baggage. For travel wholly between U.S. points, federal rules require any limit on an airline's baggage liability to be at least US$3,000.00 per passenger. Note: The limits of liability of US$75,000.00 above a inclusive of legal fees and costs, except that in case of a claim brought in a state where provision is made re for the separate award of legal fees and costs, the limit shall be the sum of US$58,000.00 exclusive of legal fees and costs. B. Where the Montr eal Convention applies, the limits of liability are as follows: There are no financial limits for death or bodily injury. For damages up to 100,000 SDR, the carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving it was not negligent or otherwise at fault. SIA may make an advance payment to meet immediate economic needs of the person entitled to claim compensation; In the case of destruction, loss of, or damage or delay to baggage, 1,000 SDR. If the value of your baggage is greater than this limit, you should inform SIA at check-in or ensure that it is fully insured prior to travel; and In the case of delay to your journey, 4,150 SDR. C. You should be able to obtain additional protection by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not generally affected by any limitation on our or any other carrier's liability under either the Warsaw or Montreal Conventions or any special contracts of carriage. For further information, please consult your airline or insurance company representative.

If the flight is overbooked, no one will be denied a seat until airline personnel first ask for volunteers willing to give up their reservation in exchange for a payment of the airline's choosing. If there are not enough volunteers the airline will deny boarding to other persons in accordance with its particular boarding priority. With few exceptions persons denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to compensation. The complete rules for the payment of compensation and each airline's boarding priorities are available at all airport ticket counters and boarding locations.
