In the event of any inconsistency between the Conditions of Carriage and the Key Conditions, the Conditions or Carriage will prevail. 2.4 Read DownIf any of these Conditions of Carriage is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it will be read down to the extent necessary to ensure that it is not invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but if that is not possible, it will be severed from the Conditions of Carriage and the other conditions will remain valid. 2.5 Variation and WaiverNo employee or other person is authorised to vary any of these Conditions of Carriage. However, this does not affect Airlines of Tasmania’s right to waive any fare rule or amount payable.

GENERAL3.1 Preparing to travelYou alone are responsible for making all necessary arrangements for your travel and ensuring that you comply with all laws, regulations and orders of the places you will travel to. If we provide assistance for any of the above aspects of your travel, we do not release you from your responsibility in respect of these matters. 3.2 Travel InsuranceBecause travel involves many risks, and our liability to you is limited, it is recommended that you purchase travel insurance, which can cover things like:
3.3 Health(a) We may refuse to carry you if we, acting reasonably, are not completely satisfied that it is safe for you to fly. Before you make a Booking you should tell us if you suffer from any illness, disease or other condition which may make it unsafe for you or other Passengers if you fly. (b) Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) Some studies have concluded that prolonged immobility may be a risk factor in the formation of blood clots in the legs (DVT - Deep Vein Thrombosis). If you feel you may be at risk from DVT or other health problems Airlines of Tasmania recommends you consult with your doctor before travel.
(c) Pregnancy If you are pregnant and your travel is Domestic Carriage::
3.4 PrivacyAirlines of Tasmania collects information about you to provide products and services to you, process your travel arrangements and for administrative and legal purposes. If the information is not provided, Airlines of Tasmania may not be able to provide the service requested. Airlines of Tasmania may retain and may disclose your personal information to its related companies, other carriers, travel service providers, organisations which provide services to Airlines of Tasmania, your employer if you are travelling on a Booking purchased by your employer, various law enforcement agencies and governments around the world for security, customs, emergency and immigration purposes. You may be required by government regulations to provide specific personal data or information to us, including information to enable us to notify your family members in the event of an emergency. 4. BOOKINGS4.1 When is a Booking made?A Booking for a flight is made when recorded as accepted and confirmed by Airlines of Tasmania or an Authorised Agent. If you ask, we or our Authorised Agent will give you written confirmation of your Booking. 4.2 Booking essentialYour Booking is the main evidence of our contract with you, so even though you have a reservation for a flight, you will not be able to board that flight without first checking-in and presenting photo identification (eg. passport or driver's licence). 4.3 ReconfirmationReconfirmation is not required for Airlines of Tasmania flights. You should check the reconfirmation requirements with other carriers. If you fail to reconfirm when reconfirmation is required, the carrier may decide to cancel your reservation. Airlines of Tasmania does not provide for connecting flights. 4.4 Some Bookings cannot be changedSome fare types may be restricted so that you:
4.5 Limited special assistanceGenerally we will not allow a person to travel without an Accompanying Passenger unless the person can travel independently, meaning that they can travel safely without assistance, supervision or both. We do not have the systems, staff or facilities required to assume responsibility for such assistance and supervision. Children requiring supervision will not be regarded as able to travel independently on the basis that they may cause a disruption or endanger themselves or others if travelling unaccompanied. However, we do provide limited special assistance services to accommodate customers who need to travel with a guide dog, hearing or mobility dog, customers who require a wheelchair (see 5.3) and customers who require two seats for themselves. If you need to use these special services you must make arrangements through Airlines of Tasmania Reservations. Accompanying Passenger means a paying passenger who, in our reasonable opinion, can travel independently and is able to and will provide the appropriate assistance, supervision, or both, as is required for the particular customer they are accompanying. As a guide, Airlines of Tasmania generally will not consider a passenger to be an appropriate Accompanying Passenger for a child unless the passenger is at least 15 years old. 5.

5.2 What your fare does not coverYour fare does not include ground transport between one airport and another or between the airport and any other place. 5.3 Carriage of Wheelchairs and Guide DogsYour fare also covers carriage of your registered guide dog, hearing or mobility dog if you require one to travel.

In the case of guide, hearing and mobility dogs, you must confirm that the dog is properly registered at the time of Booking and you must provide a recognised ID card or documentation for the dog at the time of checking in. Your wheelchair, should you require one, may be carried in the hold at no extra charge. We can accommodate up to two wheelchair passengers on each flight, subject to the limitations of the aircraft.
