A contract of carriage is the rules that an airlines imposes on its passengers. There are many that you may not know about.
I am only referring to one airline, but most have very similar rules. And, trust me; they do not favor the passenger.
Most of them start off giving a long list of definitions. You need to speak legalese to understand most of the terminology.
I am sure that you know that an airline can refuse you service. Here are some of the reasons:
1. If you are barefoot
2. If you have a malodorous condition
3. If you are unable to sit in a seat with the seatbelt fastened
The airline can also charge for excess amount of bags or excess weight. You need to check with the airlines, but most only allow 2 checked-in bags and one carry-on. Weight limits differ, so check before you go. Otherwise, it may cost you big bucks.
You also need to check for items that are not normal luggage. These would be items like golf bags, fishing equipment, antlers, hockey equipment and other odd items. Musical instruments, weapons, and scuba diving equipment may cost you more too.
You might also want to check and see how much...
