assistance that it can provide Guests in connection with such purchases. More
information on booking Breeze tickets through Authorized Third Parties and Unauthorized
Third Parties can be found on the Breeze Website.

applicable limitations or restrictions as set forth herein, Guests with tickets will be entitled
to transportation between airports of origin and destination. Tickets are valid for the dates
and flights indicated on the ticket.
No ticket paid by credit card shall be considered a confirmed ticket if the transaction is
not accepted by Breeze for any reason, whether or not the Guest is notified that the
transaction was invalid.
B. Refusal to Sell Tickets; Right to Refuse Carriage
Breeze may refuse to sell tickets to any person, including the following, and may inform
such persons that they are not permitted to purchase transportation from Breeze:
a person who has disrupted airline operations at Breeze or other airlines;
a person who has committed fraud against Breeze;
a person who has mistreated or refused to follow safety instructions from Team
Members or other representatives of other airlines;
a person who has pursued frivolous claims or threatened frivolous litigation against
Breeze without a valid basis for doing so, as determined by Breeze in its sole
discretion; or

Contract of Carriage.
In addition, Breeze reserves the right to refuse Carriage to any person:
who has acquired a ticket in violation of this Contract of Carriage, applicable
laws, or Breeze's fare rules and regulations;
who has failed to provide Breeze with accurate information at the time of booking
(e.g., a Guest’s full legal name, date of birth, and/or gender); or
who is without legal capacity to contract.
C. Cancellation of Tickets
All tickets and seat assignments are subject to cancellation, without notice, including
without limitation, if:
the Guest does not have a boarding pass at least forty-five (45) minutes prior to
the scheduled departure time for each Domestic flight on their itinerary or one (1)
hour prior to the scheduled departure time for each International flight on their
itinerary (or, if applicable, by such additional time as may be appliable to specific
airports as published on the Breeze Website);
5
the Guest fails to make themselves available for boarding at the gate at least thirty
(30) minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for each Domestic flight or
forty-five (45) minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for each International
flight, even if the Guest has already checked in for the flight (or, if applicable, by
such additional time as may be appliable to specific airports as published on the
Breeze Website);
the Guest is not on board the aircraft at least fifteen (15) minutes prior to the
scheduled Domestic departure time and at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the
scheduled International departure time, even if the Guest has already checked in
for the flight (or, if applicable, by such additional time as may be appliable to
specific airports as published on the Breeze Website);
the Guest purchases a ticket intending not to fly on all flight segments, and/or the
Guest fails to travel on any flight segment of a booked itinerary and fails to
modify/cancel the ticket, and/or the Guest otherwise purchases a ticket made to
exploit or circumvent fare or ticket rules;
the Guest has been informed that they are not permitted to purchase
transportation from Breeze, or has otherwise been refused Carriage by Breeze;
such cancellation is necessary in order to comply with applicable governmental
regulations, directions, or requests for emergency transportation in connection
with federal aviation security or national defense requirements.
If Breeze refuses or is unable to transport a Guest for any of the reasons stated above,
such Guest will not be eligible for denied boarding compensation.
D. Check-In
Subject to additional timing requirements that may be appliable to specific airports (as
published on the Breeze Website), Guests are required to obtain a boarding pass at least
forty-five (45) minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for all Domestic flights or at
least one (1) hour prior to the scheduled departure time for all International flights.
Check-in will be available at the Breeze airport ticket counter two (2) hours prior to the
scheduled Domestic departure time and three (3) hours prior to the scheduled
International departure time and, if a ticket is eligible for online check-in, check-in will
also be available twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled departure time on the
Breeze Website and the Breeze app.
It is the Guest's responsibility to arrive at the airport with enough time to complete check-
in and security screening processes. Breeze recommends that Guests arrive at the airport
at least two (2) hours prior to the scheduled Domestic departure time and three (3) hours
prior to the scheduled International departure time.
Guests wanting to check baggage may do so at the ticket counter once airport check-
in begins for the Guest’s flight. Subject to additional timing requirements that may be
6
appliable to specific airports (as published on the Breeze Website), baggage must be
checked at the ticket counter at least forty-five (45) minutes prior to the scheduled
Domestic departure time and at least one (1) hour prior to the scheduled International
departure time. Guests who present baggage after these time limits may be refused
Carriage. In the event that Breeze accepts baggage after the applicable time limit, and
except as may be limited by applicable law, (i) the Guest will be liable for all applicable
delivery costs if the baggage is not carried on the same flight as the Guest, and (ii) Guests
will be ineligible for reimbursement of interim expenses as set forth in Section 7.J. in the
event the delivery of their baggage is delayed.
3. FARES
A. General
All Breeze fares are subject to change until purchased. Breeze offers a range of fares. On
certain discount fares, availability may be limited, and additional restrictions may apply.
Subject to limited exceptions as set forth herein, all Breeze fares and the purchase of
optional services (e.g., checked baggage services) are non-refundable. All Breeze
tickets are nontransferable.
B. Currency; Method of Payment
All fares and charges are listed in United States dollars (USD).
Breeze accepts credit cards and debit cards as forms of payment and, subject to the
terms and conditions applicable thereto, BreezePoints, Flight Credits, and Vouchers.
Breeze does not accept cash, traveler's checks, certified (cashier's) checks, or money
orders.
C. Guest-Initiated Modifications
Bookings made through Authorized Third Parties may be modified or canceled only
through a Guest’s Breezy Rewards account. It is free to join Breezy Rewards on the Breeze
Website.
Subject to applicable fare rules, online changes to a flight itinerary and flight
cancellations must be made at least one (1) hour prior to the scheduled departure time.
No Flex Fares and any reservation containing a No Flex fare are subject to additional
restrictions with respect to cancellations and modifications as indicated at the time of
booking.
If permitted by applicable fare rules, itinerary changes are subject to payment of
applicable price differences in airfare, class of service, and optional services for the
alternate requested date(s) or flight(s), and any difference in applicable government
taxes and fees. Itinerary changes and partial cancellations may subject any non-
modified segments to fare repricing. A difference in airfare at the current fare price of
the purchased fare class at the time of modification may apply.
7
If permitted by applicable fare rules, when an itinerary is canceled or an itinerary change
is made at a lower fare, BreezePoints will be issued to the extent of any remaining value.
If a Guest does not travel on a Breeze flight and fails to cancel the booking prior to the
time limit specified in this section or in accordance with the applicable fare rules, the
Guest will not receive a refund or BreezePoints for the purchased fare.
D. Routing
A fare applies only to transportation between airports (including any applicable Co-
Terminals) via the intermediate cities, if any, specified by Breeze in reference to that fare.
Tickets may not be issued or accepted for transportation that either originates or
terminates at an airport other than the airport (or Co-Terminal, if applicable) for which
the fares are published.
E. No Child Fares
Breeze does not offer special fares for Infants, Children, or Young Adults.
F. Erroneous Fares
If an erroneous fare (including a fare that is reasonably apparent as erroneous) is
inadvertently published for sale and a ticket is issued at the erroneous fare before it has
been corrected, Breeze reserves the right to cancel the ticket purchase and refund all
amounts paid by the purchaser or, at the purchaser’s option, to reissue the ticket for the
correct fare. In this event, Breeze will also reimburse any reasonable, actual, and
documented out-of-pocket non-refundable expenses incurred by the purchaser in
reliance upon the erroneous fare ticket purchase.
G. Non-Refundability
Breeze tickets and optional services are non-refundable; provided, however, if a Guest
purchases a nonrefundable ticket one week (168 hours) or more prior to a flight's
scheduled departure time, and that ticket is canceled within twenty-four (24) hours of
purchase, Breeze will refund the payment in full to the original form of payment without
assessment of a cancellation fee.
For all other voluntary flight cancellations, and subject to applicable fare rules, the Guest
who booked the travel will receive a credit in the form of a Flight Credit or Voucher (or
redeposited BreezePoints in the event that BreezePoints were used for the ticket
purchase).

4. ACCEPTANCE AND REFUSAL OF GUESTS
A. Travel Requirements and Documentation
Guests who refuse or fail to produce identification upon request by a Team Member may
be refused transportation.
It is the responsibility of each Guest to familiarize themselves with applicable travel
requirements and requisite travel documentation. Guests shall comply with all laws,
regulations, orders, demands, and travel requirements, including but not limited to those
relating to passports, visas, health/immunization requirements, and other travel
documents. Guests who fail to comply with any of these requirements may be refused
transportation.
Breeze shall not be liable for:
any aid or information given by any Team Member to any Guest in connection
with obtaining necessary travel documents or complying with applicable laws,
regulations, orders, demands, requirements, or instructions, whether given orally,
in writing, or otherwise;
the consequences to any Guest resulting from such Guest’s failure to obtain
requisite travel documents or to comply with applicable laws, regulations, orders,
demands, requirements, or instructions; or
any expenses incurred due to a Guest's failure to comply with this provision.
Breeze reserves, in its sole discretion, the right to refuse Carriage to any Guest who has
not, in the judgment of Breeze, complied with applicable laws and regulations, the
instructions of Team Members, Breeze fare rules, or this Contract of Carriage.
Guests shall pay the applicable fare whenever Breeze, on government order, is required
to return a Guest to their point of origin or elsewhere due to the Guest's inadmissibility into
or deportation from a country, whether of transit or of destination.
Breeze reserves the right to hold, photocopy, or otherwise make an image reproduction
of a travel document presented by any Guest and accepted by Breeze as a condition
of boarding.
B. Conduct and Conditions for Travel
A Guest shall not be permitted to board the aircraft or may be required to leave an
aircraft if that Guest:
is disorderly, abusive, violent, or their conduct creates an unreasonable risk of
offense or annoyance to other Guests;
appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs;
9
interferes or attempts to interfere with any Team Member, including any Flight
Team Member, in the pursuit of their duties;
is or is perceived by a Team Member to pose a security threat, or risk of harm or
damage to Breeze, its aircraft or property, and/or other Guests or their property;
has a communicable disease that poses a risk to other Guests, and fails to provide
the medical certificate described in Section 4.D.;
is unable or unwilling to sit in a seat with a seat belt fastened during the normal
course of a flight;
is barefoot or inadequately clothed, or displays items of an obscene nature;
fails to obey lawful instructions of any Team Member;
has an offensive odor, unless caused by a qualified disability;
refuses to permit a search of person or property for explosives or for deadly or
dangerous weapons, articles, or substances;
is in the custody of law enforcement (with or without restraints); or
refuses to comply with any applicable local, federal, or international laws or
regulations (including, without limitation, in relation to any face mask or similar
requirement).
If a Guest is not permitted to board and/or is required to leave an aircraft for safety,
regulatory, or other conduct reasons stated above, (i) the Guest is eligible for a refund to
their original form of payment with respect to the un-flown portion of their reservation,
and (ii) the Guest may be restricted from flying in the future with Breeze and/or other
carriers.
If Breeze is required to return to the gate or divert an aircraft to land at a location other
than its intended destination due to a Guest's disruptive or disorderly conduct, Breeze will
be entitled to reimbursement from the Guest for the additional costs that Breeze incurs
for such diversion, including costs to accommodate other Guests, excess Team Member
and ground handling costs, fuel, fees, and any applicable collection costs and/or
attorneys’ fees. The reimbursement amounts due, as reasonably determined in good
faith by Breeze, will be binding on the Guest.
C. Guests with Disabilities
All Guests with Disabilities will be provided transportation unless otherwise refused
transportation in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Guests with
Disabilities need not give advance notice of their disability; provided that, consistent with
14 CFR Part 382.27(c), a Guest with Disabilities must provide Breeze with at least forty-eight
(48) hours advance notice and check in one hour before the required check-in time for
10
the general public should such Guest require any of the following services or
accommodations:
provision of hazardous materials packaging for batteries or other Assistive Devices
that are required to have such packaging;
accommodation for a group of ten (10) or more Guests with Disabilities who
purchase tickets and travel as a group;
provision of an on-board wheelchair on an aircraft with more than 60 seats that
does not have an accessible lavatory; or
accommodation of a Guest with Disabilities who has both severe vision and
hearing impairments.
Breeze does not provide the following services and accommodations to Guests with
Disabilities:
Carriage of an incubator;
hook-up for a respirator, ventilator, continuous positive airway pressure machine
(CPAC machine), or portable oxygen concentrator (POC) to the aircraft electrical
power supply;
accommodation for a Guest who must travel in a stretcher; or
Breeze-supplied in-flight medical oxygen.
Guests with Disabilities are not required to travel with an attendant unless it is determined
by Breeze that an attendant is essential for safety as stated in 14 CFR Part 382.29. Team
Members are not obligated to provide special assistance for personal needs (e.g.,
assistance in eating, assistance within the restroom, or provision of medical services).
Attendants for a Guest with Disabilities must be at least 13 years of age at the time of
commencement of travel.
D. Medical Certificates
A medical certificate is a written statement from a licensed physician or hospital that is
treating a Guest, asserting that such Guest is capable of completing a flight safely,
without requiring extraordinary medical assistance during flight. If there is reasonable
doubt that a Guest can complete their flight safely, without requiring extraordinary
medical assistance during flight, a medical certificate may be required in order for such
Guest to travel. The medical certificate must be dated within ten (10) days of the Guest's
initial departing flight.
If any Guest has a communicable disease or infection that Breeze determines poses a
direct threat to other Guests (e.g., measles), Breeze will require a medical certificate. The
medical certificate must be dated within ten (10) days of each flight on which the Guest
11
intends to travel. The medical certificate must state that the Guest's condition would not
be communicable to other Guests during the normal course of the flight. If it is potentially
transmissible during the flight but transmission can be prevented if certain conditions or
precautions are implemented, the certificate must describe those conditions or
precautions. In such instances, Breeze will put forth reasonable effort to carry out these
measures. If Breeze is unable to do so, or if the Guest is unable to produce a medical
certificate, Breeze may refuse to transport such Guest or delay the transport of such
Guest.
If such action by Breeze results in the postponement of a Guest's travel, Breeze will permit
the Guest to travel at a later time (up to ninety (90) days from the date of the postponed
travel) at a fare that would have applied to the Guest's originally scheduled trip without
penalty or, at the Guest's option, provide a refund.
E. Respiratory Assistive Devices/Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC)
Certain respiratory assistive devices (including a portable oxygen concentrator (POC))
which are approved by the FAA for use in flight may be used on board Breeze aircraft.
Guests using such permitted devices must do so strictly in accordance with applicable
regulations, including with respect to the Carriage of sufficient batteries. Flight Team
Members are not trained to assist with or operate such devices.
Guests are encouraged to review any applicable requirements relating to such devices
by referring to the Breeze Website. A Guest planning to travel on Breeze with a respiratory
assistive device must:
notify Breeze by Contacting the Breeze Contact Center at least forty-eight (48)
hours before the scheduled departure time to document that the Guest will be
traveling with and using a respiratory assistive device on board; and
check in at the departure airport one (1) hour before the required check-in time
for the general public.
To use a respiratory assistive device on board a Breeze flight, Guests must have an FAA-
approved POC. More information is available on the Breeze Website.
F. Pregnancy
Guests who are pregnant are urged to consult with their physician on whether it is safe
to travel by air, with due consideration to the possibility of turbulence, cabin
pressurization, significantly increased risk of deep vein thrombosis associated with
pregnancy, and lack of ready access to medical care. Guests wishing to travel in their
ninth month of pregnancy must provide Breeze with a written statement from their
licensed physician dated no more than seventy-two (72) hours prior to scheduled
departure, stating that the Guest is physically fit for air travel to and from the requested
destination, and that the estimated date of the delivery is after the date of the last flight.
12
Women with a history of complications or premature delivery should not fly at all. By
traveling with Breeze, a Guest who is pregnant acknowledges and accepts these risks.
G. Guest Seating Needs
A Guest who encroaches on an adjacent seat area and/or is unable to sit in a single seat
with the armrests lowered will be required to purchase an additional adjacent seat. If a
Flight Team Member determines that a Guest cannot be accommodated in a single
seat, and the purchase of an additional seat is required but there are no available seats
on the aircraft for purchase, the Guest will be booked on the next available Breeze flight,
or the ticket will be refunded.
It is a Guest's responsibility to notify Breeze of a unique seating need. Breeze may refuse
to transport individuals who are unable or unwilling to comply with Breeze seating
requirements.
5. YOUNG ADULTS, CHILDREN, AND INFANTS
A. Young Adults
Young Adult Guests may travel without an Adult Guest only on non-stop Domestic flights
with government-issued documentation of their age; provided that Breeze reserves the
right not to transport a Young Adult Guest traveling alone on a flight that Breeze
reasonably anticipates may be diverted or canceled due to weather or other
operational considerations. In the event a Young Adult Guest’s flight is disrupted, Breeze
is authorized to take whatever actions are reasonable and necessary under the
circumstances, and the parent or legal guardian of such Young Adult Guest will be liable
for expenses incurred by Breeze in taking such actions.
By purchasing a ticket for a Young Adult Guest traveling alone, the party purchasing such
ticket represents that either (i) they are the parent or guardian of such Young Adult Guest,
or (ii) they have the authority to act on behalf of such Young Adult Guest’s parent or
guardian. IN ADDITION, SUCH PURCHASER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND
FULLY RELEASE BREEZE FOR ANY AND ALL INJURY OR DAMAGES TO PROPERTY OR PERSONS
CAUSED BY OR INCURRED AS A RESULT OF A YOUNG ADULT’S ACTIONS, INCLUDING
INJURIES TO THE YOUNG ADULT GUEST CAUSED BY THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE.
For the avoidance of doubt:
Young Adult Guests may not travel without an Adult Guest on BreezeThru Flights or
Connecting Flights, except that Young Adult Guests may travel on a single non-
stop portion of a flight marketed as a Domestic BreezeThru flight.
Breeze does not offer an “unaccompanied minor” service, and will not supervise
or monitor a Young Adult Guest traveling alone before, during, or after a Young
Adult Guest’s flight or take any additional mitigations to assist in the event of a
flight disruption.
13
Breeze will not be responsible for any action or inaction of a Young Adult Guest
traveling alone.
B. Children
Children Guests must be accompanied on the same flight itinerary by an Adult Guest.
Breeze does not provide an unaccompanied minor service.
Guests traveling with Infants and Children should be prepared to provide documentation
to a Team Member evidencing the Infant or Child’s age (e.g., a birth certificate, passport,
etc.).
C. Infants
Breeze encourages all Adult Guests traveling with Infants to purchase a seat for the Infant
and secure the Infant in an FAA-approved child restraint system meeting the
requirements set forth in Section 5.D. below.
An Adult Guest may carry on their lap one (1) Infant. Once a person reaches their second
birthday, they are no longer permitted to travel on an Adult Guest’s lap and must have
their own reserved seat. Breeze reserves the right to request documented proof of age
for any traveler reasonably appearing to be two (2) years of age or younger. Guests
traveling with Infants and Children should be prepared to provide documentation to a
Team Member evidencing the Infant or Child’s age (e.g., a birth certificate, passport,
etc.). Adult Guests with Lap Infants traveling on International flights may be subject to
additional taxes and fees.
If a seat adjacent to an Adult Guest traveling with an Infant is open and available after
boarding, or if a separate ticket has been purchased for such Infant, the Infant may travel
in the adjacent seat provided that the Infant is securely placed in an FAA-approved child
restraint system meeting the requirements set forth in Section 5.D. below.
Breeze will not transport any person aged seven (7) days or less, or any Infant requiring
an incubator or other life-support systems.
D. Child Seats; Strollers
One (1) child seat and one (1) baby stroller will be accepted for each Infant and Child
as checked baggage at no charge; provided that (i) such items must be properly
packed in a manner so as to prevent damage, (ii) Breeze will have no liability for damage
to a child seat or stroller that has not been properly packed in a container or case made
of airline-approved protective material that is designed for shipping such items, and (iii)
any damage to a properly-packed checked child seat or stroller must be reported within
one hour as required by Section 7.J. These items are not considered part of a Guests
baggage allowance. Child seats may be carried on board the aircraft if a seat has been
purchased for the Infant or Child. Not more than one (1) Infant or Child can be secured
14
in a single child seat. To be accepted for use on board the aircraft, child seats must be
FAA-approved and otherwise conform to the following guidelines:
Child seats manufactured before 2/26/1985 must bear the following label: This
child restraint system conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety
standards.
Child seats manufactured on or after 2/26/1985 must bear the following two labels:
This child restraint system conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety
standards and This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft in
red lettering.
Child seats bearing the approval of a foreign government or seats manufactured
under the standards of the United Nations are also acceptable.
Child seats may not occupy a seat in an exit row, a seat in the row in front of an
exit row, or a seat in the row behind an exit row.
6. ANIMALS
A. Guest Responsibility; No Animals in Cargo or Checked Baggage
The Guest assumes full responsibility for the conduct of their accompanying cat or dog,
whether a pet or Service Dog. In the event Breeze incurs any loss, damage, delay,
expense, or legal liability of any kind in connection with the transport of an animal, the
Guest accepts full liability for any sums incurred. In addition, Guests are responsible for
complying with any applicable laws and/or governmental regulations of the destination
to and from which their pet or Service Dog is being transported.
Breeze does not accept cats, dogs, or other animals as cargo or as checked baggage.
B. Pet Cats and Dogs in the Cabin
Breeze will accept domesticated cats and dogs for transportation in the cabin of the
Aircraft on Domestic flights); provided that:
each Guest can bring not more than one (1) pet, and no more than five (5) pets
are allowed on each flight;
a Guest wishing to travel with a pet will be required to pay an additional charge
(as posted on the Breeze website);
the pet weighs twenty-five (25) pounds or less;
the pet is harmless, odorless, not offensive, and will require no attention during
transit;
the pet is stowed in a pet carrier for the duration of the time that it is on board the
aircraft;
15
the pet carrier in which the pet is stowed (i) is soft-sided, (ii) fits underneath the
seat in front of the Guest traveling with the pet, (iii) does not exceed 17 x 8 x 13
in overall dimensions (L x W x H), (iv) is of a sufficient size to allow the pet to stand
and turn around while stowed, (v) counts towards the Guests carry-on baggage
allowance, and (vi) has been inspected and approved by a Team Member; and
the Guest is not sitting in (i) the Breeze Ascent section, (ii) a seat in the row
immediately behind the Breeze Ascent section, or (iii) an exit row seat.
In the event a pet becomes offensive or causes a disturbance during transit, the pet will
be removed from the aircraft at the first en route stop.
Breeze assumes no responsibility for the impaired health or death of any pet. For the
avoidance of doubt, pets are not permitted on International flights.
C. Service Dogs
Breeze will accept Service Dogs for transportation in the cabin in accordance with FAA
safety regulations, at no additional charge, if they meet the requirements detailed in this
Section 6.C. No other type of service animal will be accepted.
A Service Dog must be able to fit on the Guests lap without intruding into the adjacent
Guest seat or aisle, or within the Guests foot space without blocking the egress of any
other Guest. Service Dogs cannot sit on the seat or touch the seat or tray table. If the
Service Dog is in a pet carrier, (i) the pet carrier requirements set forth in Section 6.B.
above must be met, and (ii) the Guest may not be sitting in (A) the Breeze Ascent section,
(B) a seat in the row immediately behind the Breeze Ascent section, or (C) an exit row
seat.
Breeze will make every reasonable effort to accommodate a Guest in the event that the
assistance of up to two (2) Service Dogs is required.
If two (2) Service Dogs cannot be accommodated together at a single Guest seat or if a
Service Dog is too large to be safely accommodated, the Guest may purchase an
additional ticket(s), so that the Service Dog(s) can be accommodated in accordance
with FAA safety regulations, or the Guest may be accommodated on a later flight where
more seats are available.
To travel with a Service Dog, a Guest must submit the DOT Service Animal Air
Transportation Form (link below) to Breeze by Contacting the Breeze Contact Center
attesting to the dogs health, training, and behavior. This form must be received by
Breeze at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Guests scheduled departure time. The
Breeze Guest Empowerment Team will notify the Guest upon document approval.
U.S. Department of Transportation Service Animal Air Transportation Form
In the event a Guest’s flight is anticipated to exceed (8) hours in duration, a Guest must
also submit the DOT Service Animal Relief Attestation Form (link below) to Breeze by
Contacting the Breeze Contact Center.
16

D. Emotional Support Animals
Emotional support animals are not treated as service animals for purposes of this Contract
of Carriage. Breeze accepts only domesticated cats and dogs on Domestic flights, and
unless they qualify as a Service Dog or are subject to Section 6.E. below, they must travel
as pets in the cabin subject to the fees and other requirements of Section 6.B.
E. Official Duty Dogs
Dogs traveling on official duty and deployed in connection with an explosive detection
or search and rescue mission may be transported on Domestic Breeze flights at no
charge, subject to the submission to Breeze of adequate documentation of training and
deployment. The handler and dog must check-in at the departure airport one (1) hour
before the required check-in time for the general public.
7. BAGGAGE
A. General
All baggage charges may be paid either in advance or at the airport. All baggage
charges are non-refundable unless the baggage is lost or the related Guest ticket is
refunded.
Breeze baggage policies and charges are available on the Breeze Website and are
incorporated by reference as if set forth in full in this Contract of Carriage. These policies
explain quantities, size and weight restrictions, and terms relating to Carriage of special
items.
Baggage charges are applicable to each item of baggage, and to each direction of
travel (i.e., on a round-trip ticket, a separate baggage charge will apply to each of the
departure flight and the return flight). For purposes of calculating baggage charges,
BreezeThru Flights and Connecting Flights will count as a single flight.
When a ticket is purchased with multiple individual flight segments rather than as a
Connecting Flight, baggage charges are applicable per item, per individual flight
segment. It is the Guests responsibility to claim their checked baggage at each point of
Stopover. The checked baggage must then be re-checked at the ticket counter prior to
boarding the next flight segment on the ticket. Breeze is not liable for baggage that is
not transferred due to the purchase of a non-Connecting Flight.
Baggage fees and allowances may vary for Non-Revenue Guests on certain flights.
B. Carry-On Baggage
Each Guest may bring one (1) personal item (such as a purse, laptop computer, or
backpack) on board the aircraft subject to meeting the size limitations as provided on
17
the Breeze Website. Pieces exceeding these restrictions will be accepted as carry-on or
checked baggage and are subject to associated carry-on or checked bag charges.
Personal items must fit into the under-seat space directly in front of that Guest’s seat (or,
if a Guest is seating in the bulkhead row, in the overhead compartment).
In addition to one (1) personal item, each Guest may bring one (1) carry-on bag on
board the aircraft cabin, subject to payment of the applicable carry-on baggage
charge and size and weight limitations as provided on the Breeze Website. Articles
exceeding size or weight limitations (including handles and wheels) or items that cannot
be safely stowed will be accepted as checked baggage and will be subject to
associated checked bag charges. Carry-on baggage must fit into an overhead bin or
an under-seat space. Breeze will not accept any item that (i) is not suitably packed to
withstand ordinary handling, (ii) is a size, weight, or character that makes it unsuitable for
transportation, or (iii) cannot be accommodated for transportation without harming or
annoying Guests.
The following items do not count towards a Guest's carry-on allowance:
a pet carrier for a Service Dog (for the avoidance of doubt, a pet carrier for a pet
that is not a Service Dog will count toward a Guest’s carry-on allowance);
camera;
crutches, canes, braces, or other prosthetic devices upon which a Guest is
dependent;
Assistive Devices and Service Dogs;
food for consumption on board the flight;
one (1) Infant bag per Infant, when traveling with an Infant;
child seats, when an Infant or Child is carried in the seat; provided that (i) the child
seat must be gate-checked unless a separate onboard seat for the Infant or Child
is purchased or available for use, and (ii) the child seat meets the requirements set
forth in Section 5.D.;
up to one (1) Duty Free box or bag containing Duty Free items;
personal outer garments (coats/hats/wraps);
reading material for the flight;
one (1) collapsible stroller per Infant or Child, when the Infant or Child is carried in
the stroller; provided that the stroller must be gate-checked and properly packed
as described in Section 5.D. and Section 7.E.; and
umbrella.
18
Although these articles are exempt from carry-on limitations, they must be properly
stowed for ground movement, takeoff, and landing.
C. Seat Baggage
A Guest may purchase a separate seat to transport an item, subject to applicable
regulations, provided (i) the Guest accompanies the item, (ii) the item fits the dimensions
of the Guest seat, (iii) the item does not impose any load on the Guest seat or floor
structure that exceeds the load limitation for those components, (iv) the location of the
item does not restrict access to, or use of, any required emergency or regular exit, or the
aisle, (v) the location of the item does not obscure any Guest’s view of the seat belt sign,
no smoking sign, or required exit sign, (vi) the item can be properly secured by the
seatbelt, (vii) the ticket is purchased in advance, and (viii) the applicable seat fare is
paid. Animals are NOT accepted as seat baggage.
D. Checked Baggage Generally
Charges apply for all checked baggage. Breeze allows up to five (5) checked
bags/items per Guest. Additional restrictions as to size, quantity, or other characteristics
of checked baggage may apply to certain destinations, and/or during busy travel times
such as holiday periods.
Any checked baggage that exceeds the standard size or weight limits (including handles
and wheels) as found on the Breeze Website is subject to excess baggage charges in
addition to the standard checked baggage charges.
Breeze will not accept any item as checked baggage, including musical instruments,
that (i) weighs more than ninety-nine (99) pounds (with the exception of Assistive
Devices), (ii) is not suitably packed to withstand ordinary handling, (iii) is a size, weight, or
character that makes it unsuitable for transportation, or (iv) cannot be accommodated
for transportation without harming or annoying Guests.
With the exception of certain items as set forth on the Breeze Website, Breeze will not
accept checked baggage that measures more than eighty (80) linear inches in overall
dimensions (L + W + H).
Breeze will check baggage for a Guest with a valid ticket subject to the following
conditions:
Subject to additional timing requirements that may be appliable to specific
airports (as published on the Breeze Website), baggage must be checked at the
airport at least forty-five (45) minutes prior to the Domestic flight’s scheduled
departure time and at least one (1) hour prior to the International flight’s
scheduled departure time.
Name identification is required on the outside of all checked baggage. Breeze
strongly encourages Guests to include identification (including a phone number)
on the inside of all checked baggage as well.
19
Checked baggage will be checked only to a Guests final destination or to a Guests
Stopover.
Breeze will refuse to transport, or will remove at any airport, checked baggage that a
Guest refuses to submit for inspection. In addition, Breeze may refuse to transport a
Guests baggage on a flight on which the Guest is not traveling.
Breeze accepts, at no additional charge and in addition to appliable checked baggage
allowances, wheelchairs or other Assistive Devices, including all types of wheelchairs and
assistive scooters, whether folding, collapsible, non-folding, manual, or powered. Excess,
oversized, and/or overweight baggage charges may apply for checking additional
wheelchair(s) that are used for recreational purposes.
E. Fragile and Perishable Items
Fragile and/or perishable items will be accepted as checked baggage; provided that
the Guest transporting such items has notified a Team Member of the nature of such
items, and a release is signed by the Guest pursuant to which Breeze is released from all
liability for damage to, loss or spoilage of, or delay in delivery resulting in damage to or
loss or spoilage of such items. Failure to alert Breeze of fragile and/or perishable items in
checked baggage may result in denial of loss or damage claims.
If accepted by Breeze as checked baggage in accordance with this Section 7.E., fragile
and/or perishable items must be packed appropriately in a leak-proof container or case
made of airline-approved protective material that is designed for shipping such items.
Plastic bags or foam containers are not acceptable for frozen food or other items that
may leak during transit.
The following are examples of items that are fragile or otherwise unsuitable as checked
baggage and are subject to the release of liability and conditions of acceptance set
forth above: blueprints, cameras, ceramics, china, crystal, dolls, figurines, flash
equipment, glass or glass containers, lenses, maps, mirrors, models, paintings, perfumes,
liquids, bottles, musical instruments and equipment, kites, plants, sculptures, strollers,
trophies, vases, and wines.
Perishable items include, without limitation: fruit, vegetables, meats, fish, poultry, seafood,
bakery products, flowers, floral displays, plants, and similar articles requiring maintenance
at specific temperatures, such as medicine. Perishable items must meet local agricultural
guidelines. Guest is responsible for complying with any applicable laws and/or
governmental regulations of the destination to and from which perishable items are
being transported.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Breeze will not accept any agricultural items, perishable
items, or any product that does not conform to the applicable law of any customs
authorities or governmental entities of any jurisdiction having authority over a Breeze
flight.
20
F. Hazardous Materials
The following items are classified as hazardous and are not allowed as carry-on or
checked baggage:
Liquor products over 140 proof
Gasoline-powered tools
Compressed gases
Corrosives (such as acids and wet batteries)
Explosives (such as dynamite, but also including fireworks)
Flammables (such as matches and lighter fuels)
Poisons
Magnetic and radioactive materials and similar items
The foregoing list is not all-inclusive, and Breeze may reject any item or substance it deems
to be a threat to safety. Additional prohibited or restricted hazardous or dangerous
goods and materials can be found in the following resources in effect at the time of
travel:
DOT hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR Sections171-177)
IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations
TSA Permitted and Prohibited Items
G. Firearms and Ammunition
Breeze may, unless otherwise prohibited by the TSA, accept firearms (including
compressed air and pellet guns) and/or ammunition as checked baggage on Domestic
flights, subject to the following conditions:
The Guest who is checking the firearms and/or ammunition must (i) be an Adult
and traveling on the flight on which the firearms and/or ammunition are being
checked, (ii) declare that they are traveling with firearms and/or ammunition
when checking bags at the ticket counter, and (iii) complete and sign a Firearms
Declaration tag for each firearm being checked.
Firearms must be unloaded for transport, and will be accepted in checked bags
only. Guests will be limited to one (1) sporting gun case that does not exceed 50
lbs or 62 linear inches, holding up to two (2) rifles, or two (2) shotguns, or four (4)
pistols. Checked bag fees apply, in addition to excess, overweight, and oversized
fees, as applicable.
21
Ammunition must be securely packed in the manufacturer's original container or
other fiber, wood, or metal box that is specifically designed to carry ammunition.
Breeze will accept only small arms ammunition up to 19.1 mm for rifle and pistol
cartridges and any size for shotgun shells. Ammunition must be for personal use
only. The maximum amount of ammunition per Guest is 11 lbs.
The Guest must comply with all other requirements applicable to the transport of
firearms and/or ammunition, as applicable, as set forth on the Breeze Website and
the TSA website (tsa.gov).
H. Limitations of Liability
Except to the extent inconsistent with applicable laws, Breeze will not be liable for
cosmetic and/or superficial damage caused to baggage as a result of normal wear and
tear that could reasonably be expected to occur during the course of airline checked
baggage operations, as set forth in additional detail in Section 7.J.
In addition, Breeze will not be liable for loss, damage, or delay of carry-on or checked
baggage as the result of actions taken by the TSA, any customs authority, or any other
third party or governmental agency.
Breeze will not be liable for loss or damage to unchecked baggage (i.e., baggage that
is in the custody of the Guest, including carry-on baggage) unless such damage is
caused by the negligence of Breeze, excluding damage resulting from turbulence or
shifting of items during flight.
Without prejudice to the other terms of this Section 7.H., Breeze assumes no responsibility
or liability for any of the following items, whether in or as checked or carry-on baggage:
money, negotiable papers and instruments; securities; business documents;
irreplaceable items; books, manuscripts, blueprints, and publications; photographic or
electronic equipment and accessories; computers and accessories; CD/DVDs; computer
hardware or software; machinery (including parts); tools; jewelry and watches;
eyeglasses (prescription or nonprescription); silverware; china; precious metals and
stones; heirlooms, furs and fur products; electronic cigarettes and other battery-powered
smoking devices; tobacco products; collectibles, antiques, and artifacts; paintings, art
supplies, and other works of art; medication; human organs; perfumes and cosmetics;
commercial items; samples; keys; any similar valuable or fragile items; or items not
packed in accordance with the other rules described in this Contract of Carriage.
Subject to the review and approval of Breeze as described in this Section, liability for loss,
delay, or damage to checked baggage (other than Assistive Devices) is limited to up to
$3,800 per Guest for Domestic flights. Applicable liability limitations for International flights
are set forth in Section 11.
22
I. Portable Electronic Devices
Small PEDs are those that weigh less than two (2) pounds and are of a size that can easily
be placed in an aircraft seat pocket (allowing room for the other materials that are
normally found in the seat pocket, such as a Guest safety information card, menu, and/or
airsickness bag). Small PEDs include devices like tablets, readers, and mobile phones.
Small PEDs may be accessible during all phases of flight including taxi, take-off, and
landing; provided that if being used during taxi, take-off, or landing, the Guest must
secure small PEDs by holding them, putting them in a pocket or holster, or placing them
in a seatback pocket.
Large PEDs are laptops and other devices weighing two (2) pounds or more. During taxi,
takeoff, and landing, large PEDs must be turned off and stowed by Guests under the seat
in front of them or in an overhead compartment. Large PEDs may be used only after the
aircraft is above 10,000 feet and when authorized by a Flight Team Member
announcement.
Headsets or earphones (buds) are required for any audible PED, and any cords or
accessories must not impede emergency egress.
All electronic devices must have their cellular network service disabled, commonly
known as airplane mode, from the time the aircraft door is closed for departure, until
the aircraft is taxiing to the gate upon arrival and authorized by a Flight Team Member
announcement.
Phone calls cannot be placed or received during times when the cellular network must
be disabled.
Items which may not be operated at any time inside the aircraft include TV receivers,
remote-controlled toys, electronic cigarettes, radio transmitters, and personal air purifiers.
Due to safety concerns, Guests must comply with all Flight Team Member instructions
regarding the use of PEDs.
The DOT and FAA have banned all Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone devices for air
transportation. Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices may not be transported on any Guest’s
person, in carry-on baggage, or in checked baggage on any Breeze flight to, from, or
within the United States.
J. Delayed, Damaged, and Lost Baggage
In the event any item checked by a Guest (including any Assistive Device) does not arrive
at the ticketed destination, the Guest must complete and file a report with a Team
Member at the arrival airport within one (1) hour of arrival of the flight on which the Guest
traveled (unless applicable law provides for a longer period of time).
23
Reasonable efforts will be made to deliver delayed baggage to Guests within twenty-
four (24) hours of the flight’s arrival. Once Guest belongings are located, they will be
returned to the Guest as quickly as commercially possible.
Baggage delayed due to a Guests late check-in, change in destination after check-in,
or a Guest traveling standby will be delivered at the Guests expense, and in such case,
the Guest will not be entitled to reimbursement of interim expenses or baggage
replacement.
Subject to approval on a case-by-case basis, Breeze will reimburse a Guest for their
documented, reasonable, necessary interim expenses incurred by such Guest as a direct
result of the delayed delivery of their baggage. Such expenses are limited to essential,
provisional items, such as clothing and toiletries purchased as a result of the delayed
delivery of their baggage. Breeze will not reimburse a Guest for the purchase of luxury
items, or items the cost of which otherwise exceeds what is deemed reasonable by
Breeze in light of the temporary replacement nature of such items. Such reimbursement
is not intended to cover the cost of replacing what is in the Guest’s baggage, and unless
otherwise approved on a case-by-case basis, Breeze will not reimburse a Guest’s
expenses in the event the baggage was delayed in being delivered to the Guest’s
originating or home airport.
If a Guest’s baggage has not been located and returned to the Guest within ten (10)
days after the Guest’s original report, the Guest must submit a follow-up claim by
Contacting the Breeze Contact Center.
In the event any item checked by a Guest (including any Assistive Device) is damaged,
the Guest must complete and file a report with a Team Member at the arrival airport
within one (1) hour of arrival of the flight on which the Guest traveled (unless applicable
law provides for a longer period of time).
Breeze will not be liable for normal handling of bags, damage from a Guest’s improper
packaging of baggage, misuse of a checked bag (e.g., overpacking of a checked bag),
or normal wear and tear of checked baggage (including with respect to wheels, pockets,
handles, zippers, hanger hooks, external locks, pull straps, or security straps). For the
avoidance of doubt, scuffs, dents, stains, punctures, marks, dirt, scratches, damaged or
missing zipper pulls, and cracked wheels are all considered normal wear and tear, for
which Breeze will not be liable. In addition, under no circumstances shall Breeze be liable
to any Guest for any type of special or incidental damages related to the damage, loss,
or delay of checked baggage.
Any reimbursement amount payable by Breeze with respect to lost or damaged
baggage shall be determined by Breeze in its sole discretion, with consideration given to
the original purchase price of the mishandled item, less reasonable depreciation for prior
usage (excluding Assistive Devices).
24
Breeze will not consider claims for lost or damaged baggage unless all required and
requested documents have been received by Breeze within thirty (30) days of the related
flight.
8. SCHEDULE CHANGES, FLIGHT DELAYS AND CANCELED/MODIFIED FLIGHTS,
AMENITIES
A. Schedule Changes
Schedules are subject to change without notice, and flight times or timetables published
on the Breeze Website or elsewhere are not guaranteed and form no part of the terms
of transportation or of this Contract of Carriage. Breeze may, without notice, substitute
alternate carriers or aircraft and may add, alter, or omit intermediate airports listed on a
Guest’s ticket. Breeze is not responsible or liable for any Guest making connections on its
own flights or the flights of any other carrier or for failing to operate any flight according
to any published schedule.
B. Flight Delays and Canceled/Modified Flights
When a Breeze flight is delayed or modified (including, but not limited to, a missed
connection, flight cancellation, omission of a scheduled stop, addition of an
unscheduled stop, substitution of equipment, or schedule change), Breeze may rebook
each affected Guest on the first Breeze flight on which seats are available to the Guest's
original destination without additional charge as provided in this Section 8.B. Breeze will
focus on rebooking as many affected Guests as possible on alternate flights, either direct
to the original destination or via connections through other airports, to best
accommodate Guest needs. Flights originating or arriving at a Co-Terminal will not be
considered modified.
Itinerary changes made under this Section 8.B. will be made without charge and/or fare
difference when the itinerary is affected by a canceled flight, a modified flight, an
eligible schedule change, or a flight delay exceeding two (2) hours from the original
departure time, provided:
the updated itinerary has the same departure and arrival airports (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, may be a Co-Terminal); and
the itinerary is rebooked within fourteen (14) days of the original departure date.
With limited exceptions and at the sole discretion of Breeze, Breeze will not reimburse
Guests for flights booked on other carriers.
In addition, Breeze will make reasonable efforts to mitigate inconveniences to Guests
resulting from a flight delay, cancellation, flight modification, or schedule change. Breeze
may provide limited electronic vouchers and/or expense reimbursement options to
Guests as reasonably necessary to maintain Guests’ safety, health, and welfare. Any such
electronic vouchers and/or reimbursement options are provided solely as a courtesy to
25
Guests, and Breeze is not under any obligation to provide electronic vouchers,
reimbursement, amenities, or services.
In the case of a canceled flight, flight modification, or a missed connection, if there are
no rebooking options available on Breeze on the same day and the cancellation or
modification was due to a failure by Breeze, Breeze may offer a limited reimbursement
to offset expenses; provided that Breeze may elect not provide such reimbursement to a
Guest on any Breeze flight which is delayed, modified, or canceled in the originating city
on the Guest's ticket.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Breeze flight cancellation, modification, or
misconnection is caused by severe weather, Air Traffic Control decisions, or other issues
outside of the control of Breeze, Breeze will not offer reimbursements or compensation.
Breeze will, nevertheless, make reasonable efforts to provide information enabling Guests
to secure accommodations on their own.
Additional details regarding tarmac delays, flight delays, flight cancellations, and
diversions can be found by referring to the Breeze Tarmac Delay Plan and the Breeze
Guest Service Plan published on the Breeze Website.
C. Amenities
Breeze does not guarantee the availability of any ancillary service or amenity, whether
purchased separately or included as part of a bundle option, including, but not limited
to, WiFi services, priority boarding, advance seat assignments, and snack service. Breeze
shall have no liability for, and except as provided in this Section 8.C., Breeze shall owe no
refund to any Guest with respect to any failure to provide that amenity or ancillary
service, regardless of the reason therefor (including a schedule change, irregular
operations, occurrence of a force majeure event, or any other change or circumstance
that results in an ancillary service or amenity not being available on any flight).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Guest has paid for a specific ancillary service or
amenity in advance of the flight as a separate charge specifically designated for such
ancillary service or amenity, and that ancillary service or amenity is not provided, the
Guest is eligible for a refund of the amount paid if a refund request is made within ninety
(90) days of the date the fee was originally paid or the flight date, whichever is later.
Breeze is not liable to refund this charge if the request is received after such time.
9. DENIED BOARDING
In the event of an Oversold Flight, Breeze will implement voluntary and/or involuntary
denied boarding actions for Guests in accordance with DOT regulations and as specified
below.
No Guest will be denied boarding against their will until Team Members first ask for
volunteers who are willing to give up their confirmed seat in exchange for Breeze-offered
compensation.
26
Acceptance by a Guest of compensation for either voluntary or involuntary denied
boarding relieves Breeze of any further liability to such Guest caused by its failure to honor
the ticketed seat reservation.
A. Voluntary
Before denying boarding to any Guest holding a confirmed reservation on an Oversold
Flight, Breeze will ask Guests on the flight to voluntarily give up their seat in exchange for
compensation in an amount and form to be determined by Breeze in its sole discretion.
If a sufficient number of Guests agree to give up their seats in response to Breeze’s offer,
then no Guest with a confirmed reservation will be involuntarily denied boarding due to
the Oversold Flight. If there are more volunteers than required, selection of the Guest(s)
receiving compensation will be determined by Breeze in its sole discretion.
Any Guest who responds to a request by Breeze for volunteers and who willingly accepts
an offer of compensation shall not be considered to be involuntarily denied boarding
and shall not be entitled to denied boarding compensation.
B. Involuntary
If there are not enough volunteers on an Oversold Flight to accommodate all Guests
holding a confirmed reservation, other Guests may be involuntarily denied boarding
based on the factors listed in Section 9.C.; provided that the following Guests will not be
subject to involuntary denied boarding:
Young Adults traveling without an Adult; and
Guests (excluding Non-Revenue Guests) traveling on a ticketed itinerary with
permission to board, once such Guest has (i) checked in for their flight prior to the
check-in deadline, and (ii) has their ticket or boarding pass collected or
electronically scanned and accepted by the gate agent, unless (a) there is a
safety, security, or health risk with respect to such Guest or there is a safety or
security issue requiring removal of such Guest, or (b) such Guest is engaging in
behavior that is obscene, disruptive, or otherwise unlawful.
C. Boarding Priority for Involuntary Denied Boarding
Subject to the exceptions listed above in Section 9.B. and the final sentence of this
Section 9.C., Guests will be involuntarily denied boarding based on a Guest’s fare class,
itinerary, status as a Breezy Rewards member, the time at which such Guest presents
themselves for check-in, and the time at which such Guest receives a seat assignment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Breeze reserves to the right to accommodate a Guest
with Disabilities, an elderly or infirm Guest, or any Guest of the U.S. Armed Forces on travel
orders, without regard to the criteria set forth in this section.
27
D. Eligibility for Involuntary Denied Boarding Compensation
If a Guest is involuntarily denied a seat on an Oversold Flight on which they hold a
confirmed ticket, such Guest may be entitled to monetary compensation, and Breeze
will provide information that explains Breeze's obligation and the Guest's rights in
accordance with DOT regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, compensation will not
be available to any Guest who has involuntarily been denied boarding due to any of the
following:
the Guest did not fully comply with Breeze's ticketing, check-in, and reconfirmation
requirements, or the Guest was not accepted for transportation under this
Contract of Carriage or fare rules and practices;
the Guest was denied boarding because the flight was canceled;
the Guest was denied boarding because a smaller-capacity aircraft was
substituted for safety or operational reasons;
the Guest was offered accommodations (at no additional charge) in a section of
the aircraft other than the section specified in the Guest's ticket (provided that a
Guest who is downgraded and moved to a section for which a lower fare is
charged will be given an appropriate refund); or
Breeze was able to place the Guest on another flight or flights that are planned to
reach the Guest's next Stopover or final destination within one (1) hour of the
planned arrival time of the Guest's original flight.
E. Amount of Denied Boarding Compensation
Provided that they are not otherwise subject to one of the exceptions listed in Section
9.D. above, Guests traveling on Domestic flights who are denied boarding involuntarily
from an oversold Domestic flight are entitled to:
no compensation if Breeze offers Alternate Transportation that is planned to arrive
at the Guest's destination or first Stopover not later than one (1) hour after the
planned arrival time of the Guest's original flight;
200% of the fare to the Guest's destination or first Stopover, with a maximum of
$775, if Breeze offers Alternate Transportation that is planned to arrive at the
Guest's destination or first Stopover more than one (1) hour but less than two (2)
hours after the planned arrival time of the Guest's original flight; or
400% of the fare to the Guest's destination or first Stopover, with a maximum of
$1,550, if Breeze does not offer Alternate Transportation that is planned to arrive at
the airport of the Guest's destination or first Stopover less than two (2) hours after
the planned arrival time of the Guest's original flight.
28
Provided that they are not otherwise subject to one of the exceptions listed in Section
9.D. above, Guests traveling on International flights who are denied boarding
involuntarily from an oversold International flight are entitled to:
no compensation if Breeze offers Alternate Transportation that is planned to arrive
at the Guest's destination or first Stopover not later than one (1) hour after the
planned arrival time of the Guest's original flight;
200% of the fare to the Guest's destination or first Stopover, with a maximum of
$775, if Breeze offers Alternate Transportation that is planned to arrive at the
Guest's destination or first Stopover more than one (1) hour but less than four (4)
hours after the planned arrival time of the Guest's original flight; or
400% of the fare to the Guest's destination or first Stopover, with a maximum of
$1,550, if Breeze does not offer Alternate Transportation that is planned to arrive at
the airport of the Guest's destination or first Stopover less than four (4) hours after
the planned arrival time of the Guest's original flight.
F. Method of Payment
Except as provided in this Section 9.F., Breeze will give each Guest who qualifies for
involuntary denied boarding compensation a payment by cash or check for the relevant
amount, on the day and at the place the involuntary denied boarding occurs.
If Breeze arranges Alternate Transportation for the Guest's convenience that departs
before the payment can be made, the payment shall be sent to the Guest within twenty-
four (24) hours.
Breeze may offer free or discounted transportation in place of the involuntary denied
boarding compensation payment. In that event, Breeze must disclose all material
restrictions on the use of the free or discounted transportation before the Guest decides
whether to accept the transportation in lieu of involuntary denied boarding
compensation. The Guest may insist on the involuntary denied boarding compensation
described in Section 9.E., or the Guest may refuse all compensation.
10. ADDITIONAL LIABILITY LIMITATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS
A. Applicability of Warsaw Convention or Montreal Convention
For International flights, Breeze’s liability for death or personal injury and for loss of or
damage to baggage may be governed by the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal
Convention. In such cases, the following terms, which are prescribed by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, will apply:
(i) Breeze shall be liable under Article 17 of the Warsaw Convention or Montreal
Convention, whichever may apply, for recoverable compensatory damages
sustained in the case of death or bodily injury of a Guest, as provided in the
following paragraphs:
29
(a) Breeze shall not be able to exclude or limit its liability for damages not
exceeding 113,100 Special Drawing Rights for each Guest.
(b) Breeze shall not be liable for damages to the extent that they exceed
113,100 Special Drawing Rights for each Guest if Breeze proves that (1) such
damage was not due to the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of
Breeze or its servants or agents; or (2) such damage was solely due to the
negligence or other wrongful act or omission of a third party.
(c) Breeze reserves all other defenses and limitations available under the
Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention, whichever may apply, to
such claims including, but not limited to, the exoneration defense of Article
21 of the Warsaw Convention and Article 20 of the Montreal Convention,
except that Breeze shall not invoke Articles 20 of the Montreal Convention
and 21 of the Warsaw Convention in a manner inconsistent with clauses (i)
and (ii) hereof. With respect to third parties, Breeze reserves all rights of
recourse against any other person, including without limitation, rights of
contribution and indemnity.
(d) Breeze agrees that, subject to applicable law, recoverable compensatory
damages for such claims may be determined by reference to the laws of
the country of the domicile or country of permanent residence of the Guest.
(ii) In cases of bodily injury or death, Breeze shall make an advance payment where
Breeze determines it is necessary to meet the immediate economic needs of, and
hardship suffered by, a Guest as provided in the following paragraphs:
(a) Unless a dispute arises over the identity of the person to whom an advance
payment shall be made, Breeze shall, without delay, make the advance
payment to the Guest in an amount or amounts determined by Breeze in its
sole discretion. In the event of death of a Guest, the amount of the advance
payment shall not be less than 16,000 Special Drawing Rights, which shall be
paid to a representative of the Guest’s next of kin eligible to receive such
advance payment as determined by Breeze in its sole discretion.
(b) Breeze shall make the advance payment as an advance against Breeze’s
liability under the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention,
whichever may apply. An advance payment shall not constitute
recognition of liability. An advance payment shall be offset against, or
deducted from the payment of, any settlement or judgment with respect to
any claim for compensation on behalf of the Guest.
(c) Breeze, 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 on behalf of the
Guest, nor shall acceptance of an advance payment constitute a release
of any claim, whatsoever, by any person.

(iii) Breeze shall be liable for damage occasioned by delay in the Carriage of Guests
by air, as provided in the following paragraphs:
(a) Breeze shall not be liable if it proves that it and its servants and agents took
all measures that could reasonably be required to avoid the damage, or
that it was impossible for it or them to take such measures.
(b) Airport, air traffic control, security, and other facilities or personnel, whether
public or private, not under the control and direction of Breeze are not
servants or agents of Breeze, and Breeze is not liable to the extent the delay
is caused by these kinds of facilities or personnel.
(c) Damages occasioned by delay are subject to the terms, limitations, and
defenses set forth in the Warsaw Convention and the Montreal Convention,
whichever may apply. They include foreseeable compensatory damages
sustained by a Guest and do not include mental injury damages.
(d) Breeze reserves all defenses and limitations available under the Warsaw
Convention or the Montreal Convention, whichever may apply, to claims
for damage occasioned by delay.
Breeze is liable for damages sustained in the case of destruction or loss of, damage to, or
delay of checked baggage and carry-on baggage, as provided in the following
paragraphs:
(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the liability of Breeze is limited in most
cases to 1,288 Special Drawing Rights for each Guest in the case of
destruction, loss, damage, or delay of baggage, whether checked or
unchecked, under the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention,
whichever may apply. Unless the Guest proves otherwise: (1) all baggage
checked by a Guest shall be considered to be the property of that Guest,
(2) a particular piece of baggage, checked or carry-on, shall not be
considered to be the property of more than one Guest, and (3) carry-on
baggage, including personal items, shall be considered to be the property
of the Guest in possession of the carry-on baggage at the time of
embarkation.
(b) In the case of carry-on baggage, Breeze is liable only to the extent the
damage resulted from its fault, or that of its servants or agents.
(c) Breeze is not liable for destruction, loss, damage, or delay of baggage not
in the charge of Breeze, including baggage undergoing security inspections
or measures not under the control and direction of Breeze.

Convention, except for Article 22(3) thereof, and the Montreal Convention,
whichever may be applicable, to such claims.
31
(iv) Under the Warsaw Convention and the Montreal Convention, whichever may
apply, an action for damages must be brought within two (2) years, and a
complaint must be made to Breeze within seven (7) calendar days in the case of
damage to baggage, and twenty-one (21) calendar days in the case of delay
thereof.
(v) Breeze shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or delay of any nature resulting
from the transportation and/or delivery of checked baggage, to the extent that
it resulted from the inherent defect, quality, or vice of the baggage, or in the case
of delay, that Breeze, its agents, and servants took reasonable measures to avoid
the damage, or that it was impossible to take such measures.
