Applicable Terms for Codeshare Flights Clause Samples
The 'Applicable Terms for Codeshare Flights' clause defines the specific rules and conditions that apply when a passenger books a flight operated by one airline but marketed by another under a codeshare agreement. In practice, this clause clarifies which airline’s policies—such as baggage allowances, check-in procedures, and liability for delays—will govern the passenger’s journey, depending on whether the flight is operated or marketed by the contracting carrier. Its core function is to ensure transparency and prevent confusion for passengers by clearly outlining which terms apply in codeshare situations, thereby reducing disputes and misunderstandings.
