No stopovers are permitted on published fares, except upon combination of local fares. 31 – 33. Reserved 34. Disabled Individuals and Passengers Requiring Assistance Due to the small size of many of our aircraft, Carrier is exempt from some requirements of the Air Carrier Access Act (“ACAA”). Nevertheless, we are committed to treating all of our customers with dignity and respect and to accommodating special needs to the greatest extent possible. We encourage customers with special needs to speak with a representative of Carrier, 800-329-0485 prior to booking. Because Southern Airways aircraft require the use of an air-stair door, we are unable to provide wheelchair or “aisle chair” service inside our aircraft. As such, all passengers must be able to board, deplane, and seat themselves inside the aircraft without assistance. Passengers who, because of age, mental or physical condition, disability or impairment, require individual attention or consideration to enplane or deplane an aircraft or to manage oneself during the flight in normal operations or emergency conditions, will be afforded a reasonable amount of assistance by Carrier employees. This assistance will be in a dignified, safe, professional and courteous manner and at all times Carrier will consult with the customer about any assistance and special plans arranged on the customer’s behalf. Carrier will extend this assistance to all qualified individuals with a disability as this legal term is more broadly defined to protect all those who may otherwise suffer from discriminatory practices. This assistance may include, depending upon the limitations of the aircraft and ramp/dock, steadying a customer or providing a helping hand as the customer ascends or descends the step(s), assistance in getting to or from the seat, and assistance with loading and retrieving carry-out or carry-on items and other assistive devices stowed on board. Employees are not permitted, however, to lift or carry customers on board the aircraft or assist with medical services. As the safest seating arrangement for such customer may vary with the situation and with the aircraft type, Carrier may offer to pre-board the customer or may suggest boarding the customer last for access to the most accessible seat. It is the policy of Carrier to provide equal opportunity for all would-be travelers. Accordingly, Carrier will not refuse to provide transportation to a disabled individual, who may be transported in accordance with the Company’s FAA-approved operating procedures, on the basis of his or her disability. Carrier may refuse to provide transportation to any customer whose carriage may impair the safety of the flight in accordance with the provisions of this contract, and may refuse to provide transportation to any customer whose carriage would violate federal regulations (including FAA and TSA regulations) or the Company’s FAA-issued operating manuals. In exercising this authority, however, Carrier personnel will not discriminate against any disabled individual solely on the basis of the disability. Carriage of a Qualified Individual with a Disability and Non-Ambulatory Passengers Carrier will not require any individual covered by this section to be accompanied by an attendant unless it is determined that an attendant is essential for safety. If Carrier determines that an assistant is essential for safety, Carrier may require a customer meeting any of the following criteria travel with an attendant as a condition of being provided air transportation: A person who, because of a mental disability, is unable to comprehend or respond appropriately to safety instructions from Carrier personnel, including the safety briefing required by 14 CFR 121.571(a)(3), (a)(4) and 135.117(b). A person with a mobility impairment so severe that the person is unable to physically assist in his or her evacuation of the aircraft; or A person who has both severe hearing and severe vision impairments if the person cannot establish some means of communication with Carrier personnel adequate to permit the transmission of the required safety briefing. If Carrier determines that a person meeting the criteria above must travel with an attendant, contrary to the individual’s self-assessment that he or she is capable of traveling independently, Carrier will not charge for the transportation of the attendant. If because there is not a seat available on a flight for an attendant whom Carrier has determined to be necessary, the individual will be eligible for denied boarding compensation. For the purposes of the determination of seat availability, the attendant will be deemed to have checked in at the same time as the customer herein. If Carrier determines that an attendant is required for the safe operation of the flight and the qualified individual with a disability is unable to provide such attendant, Carrier will not require the individual to be accompanied if there are volunteers aboard the flight willing to assist the qualified individual with a disability in case of emergency evacuation or the Captain has determined the flight can operate safely by assuming this responsibility. Advance reservations and early check-in are recommended to ensure time to coordinate the collaboration needed for the safe boarding of qualified individuals with a disability any assisted-living devices, such as a wheelchair.

No portion of the air transportation fare shall be refundable in the event local ground services are not used by the customer. 90. Refunds Carrier does not offer refundable tickets. Non-refundable tickets – Passengers who purchase restricted, non-refundable tickets are not eligible for refunds. Unless otherwise specifically stated on the ticket or in the travel agreement with Carrier, the fare paid for unused non-refundable tickets, upon surrender of the unused ticket or portion thereof, or with the Ticketless travel confirmation number and proof of purchase sufficient to Carrier, may be applied toward the purchase of future travel for a $35.00 re-issue fee, provided that credit is requested within one (1) year after the original issue date of the ticket. The fare for the new ticket(s), however, may be greater and/or the new ticket(s) may be subject to different terms, conditions, or restrictions than the original ticket. Denied boarding – If Carrier denies boarding or removes a passenger from an aircraft under conditions described in Article 10 above, Carrier will, upon surrender of the passenger’s unused ticket or portion thereof, refund the fare paid for the unused ticket or portion thereof. Eligible fare refunds and credits will be made by Carrier as follows: when no portion of the transportation has been provided, the refund or credit will be issued in an amount equal to the fare paid; or when a portion of the transportation has been provided, the refund or credit will be made in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the total fare paid and the fare applicable to the transportation provided. In cases where Carrier has reasonable cause to suspect fraud, Carrier may delay making an otherwise eligible refund until such time as an internal investigation can be performed. Carrier shall make eligible refunds via credit back to credit card of original purchase or by company check. Carrier shall make eligible refunds in U.S. Dollars. Carrier shall provide no refund for or replacement of tickets that have been lost, damaged, mutilated, destroyed, or stolen.

Reserved 105. Denied Boarding Compensation The following definitions, as prescribed in 14 C.F.R. § 250.1, pertain solely to the denied boarding compensation provisions of this Article: Airport means the airport at which the direct or connecting flight, on which the passenger holds confirmed reserved space, is planned to arrive or some other airport serving the same metropolitan area, provided that the transportation to the other airport is accepted (i.e., used) by the passenger. Comparable air transportation means transportation provided to passengers at no extra cost by a direct air carrier holding a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, or by a foreign air carrier holding a foreign air carrier permit issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation authorizing the scheduled air transportation of persons. Confirmed reserved space means space on a specific date and on a specific flight of Carrier which has been requested by a passenger and which Carrier or its authorized agent has verified, by appropriate notation on the ticket or Ticketless travel authorization, or in any other manner provided by this Contract of Carriage, as being reserved for the accommodation of the passenger. Stopover means a deliberate interruption of a journey by the passenger, scheduled to exceed four (4) hours, at a point between the place of departure and the place of final destination. The sum of the values of the passenger’s remaining flight coupons means the sum of the applicable one-way fares, including any surcharges, airport or passenger facility charges, and air transportation taxes, less any applicable discounts. Request for Volunteers – In the event of an oversold or overweight flight, Carrier shall request volunteers for denied boarding before using any other boarding priority. A volunteer is a person who responds to Carrier’s request for volunteers and who willingly accepts Carrier’s offer of compensation, in any amount, in exchange for relinquishing his or her confirmed reserved space. Any other passenger denied boarding is considered to have been denied boarding involuntarily, even if that passenger accepts denied boarding compensation. If an insufficient number of volunteers come forward, Carrier may deny boarding to other passengers in accordance with Carrier’s boarding priority rules. However, Carrier will not deny boarding to any passenger involuntarily who was earlier asked to volunteer without having been informed about the possibility of being denied boarding involuntarily and the amount of compensation. Conditions for Payment of Compensation to Passengers Involuntarily Denied Boarding due to an Over sale or overweight condition. Carrier will tender compensation to a passenger as specified below, when: the passenger holds a ticket for confirmed reserved space and presents himself or herself for carriage at the appropriate time and place, having complied fully with Carrier’s requirements as to ticketing, reconfirmation, check-in, and acceptability for transportation in accordance with this Contract of Carriage; and, other than for reasons set forth above, or when resulting from substitution for operational or safety reasons of an aircraft having a lesser seating capacity than the aircraft originally scheduled, Carrier is unable to accommodate the passenger on the flight for which the passenger holds confirmed reserved space, and such flight departs without the passenger. Exception – The passenger will not be eligible for compensation if Carrier offers comparable air transportation, or other transportation used by the passenger at no extra cost, that, at the time such arrangements are made, is planned to arrive at the airport of the passenger’s next stopover or, if none, at the airport of the passenger’s final destination not later than two (2) hours after the planned arrival time of the passenger’s original flight or flights. Acceptance of compensation by the passenger relieves Carrier from any further liability to the passenger caused by Carrier’s failure to honor the confirmed reservation. Boarding Priority Rules – Carrier’s boarding priority is established on a first-come, first-served basis at the boarding gate. In determining which passengers holding confirmed reserved space shall be denied boarding involuntarily, in the event an insufficient number of volunteers comes forward, Carrier shall deny boarding in reverse order from the order in which passengers checked in at the gate (i.e., the passenger who checked in last will be the first passenger denied boarding involuntarily in an over sale or overweight situation), with no preference given to any particular person or category of passenger. Written Explanation of Denied Boarding Compensation and Boarding Priority Rules – Immediately after a denied boarding occurs, Carrier will give passengers who are denied boarding involuntarily a written explanatory statement describing the terms and conditions of denied boarding compensation and Carrier’s boarding priority rules. 106. Traveling with Prisoners When a law enforcement agency needs to transport a prisoner with an armed Law Enforcement Officer (LEO), Carrier must be notified 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure time, or, if not 24 hours, as far in advance as possible. This notification must include (1) the identity of the prisoner and (2) whether the prisoner is considered “highrisk “or “low-risk”. For additional conditions of acceptance and requirements for transport, please contact Carrier. When connecting to or from any flight, including interline and codeshare partners, the customer is responsible for notifying and making independent arrangements directly with the other airline. 107 – 123. Reserved 124. Check/Cash Acceptance Personal checks or cash are not accepted. 125. Compliance with Law and Governmental Regulations All transportation is sold and all carriage is performed subject to compliance with all applicable laws and governmental regulations, including those of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration, many of which are not specified herein but are nonetheless binding on Carrier and all passengers. 126. Air Carrier Access Act If you would like to obtain a copy of 14 CFR Part 382 in an accessible format, you can contact the US Department of Transportation by visiting the Aviation Consumer Protection Division’s web site at http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov 127. Right to Change Contract Carrier reserves the right, to the extent not prohibited by federal law, to change, delete, or add to any of the terms of this Contract of Carriage or the Southern Airways Express, LLC Customer Service Commitment without prior notice. All changes must be in writing and approved by a corporate officer of Carrier. 128. Complaints or Refund Requests Any complaints or requests for refunds or reimbursements must be submitted by email to [email protected] in writing, within 30 days of scheduled flight, or mailed to: Southern Airways Express, LLC, 2875 South Ocean Blvd, Ste 256, Palm Beach, FL 33480
