The sale of passenger and baggage air
transportation is as a rule a local cash transaction,
i.e. payment is made in cash (or against invoice or
cheque) at the place the ticket is issued before
commencement of the journey.
The following methods of payment differ from this
principle and they are therefore explained more
fully:
- Exchange of ticket, MCO (see Rules 13.2.)
- Instalment credit (see 9.1.2.)
- Prepaid ticket advices (see Rule 9.2.)
- Air travel cards (UATP) (see Rule 16.)
- Other credit cards (see Rule 16.)
For the possibility granted under certain conditions
(in emergency cases) and on certain sectors to pay
for the passenger fare or excess baggage charge
upon arrival (charges collect), contact the IATA
carrier concerned. For short-term credit in India /
Pakistan / Sri Lanka / Nepal special IATA conditions
apply. Any payment is subject to the currency
regulations set out under Rule 11.1.
