Ravn is a paperless ticket airline. Reference(s) to a ‘ticket’ can also include an electronic document that may reside solely in the Ravn reservation system.
When more than one ticket must be issued to properly reflect all of the information required for a complete flight itinerary, the individual tickets will be cross referenced by their ticket numbers and are considered to be a single ticket or “Conjunction Ticket.”
Ravn will not be obligated to carry any Passenger until the Passenger has paid the applicable fare or has complied with credit arrangements established by Ravn. Only at that time will a ticket be issued.
No person will be entitled to transportation except upon presentation of a valid ticket.
A ticket which has not been validated or which has been altered, mutilated, or improperly issued, is not valid.
Flight coupons will be honored only in the order in which they were intended to be used and, in the case of handwritten tickets, only if all unused Flight Coupons and Passenger Coupons are presented together.
Tickets are not transferable unless otherwise stated on the Ticket at the time it was issued. Ravn is not liable to the owner of a ticket for honoring or refunding such ticket when presented by another person. If a ticket is in fact used by an unauthorized person with or without the knowledge or consent of the person to whom the ticket was issued, Ravn will not be liable for the destruction, damage, or delay of such unauthorized person’s baggage or other personal property, or for the death or injury of such unauthorized person arising from or in connection with such unauthorized use. As used herein, “unauthorized person” means any person other than the person to whom the ticket is issued and who is entitled to be transported or a refund in accordance with the Rules in this Contract of Carriage.
A ticket will be valid only for flight(s) for which reservation(s) have been made and only between the points named on the ticket or applicable Flight Coupons. A passenger holding an unused open dated ticket or portion thereof, or an Exchange Order for onward travel, or who wishes to change a ticketed reservation to another date, shall not be entitled to any preferential right with respect to the obtaining of reservations.
Prohibited Practices

Fares apply for travel only between the points for which they are published. Tickets may not be purchased and used within fare(s) from an initial departure point on the ticket which is before the Passenger’s actual point of origin of travel, or to a more distant point(s) than the Passenger’s actual destination being traveled even when the purchase and use of such tickets would produce a lower fare. This practice is known as “Hidden Cities Ticketing” or “Point Beyond Ticketing” and is prohibited by Ravn.
The purchase and use of roundtrip tickets for the purpose of one-way travel only, known as “Throwaway Ticketing” is prohibited by Ravn.
The use of Flight Coupons from two or more different Tickets issued at round trip fares for the purpose of circumventing applicable tariff Rules (such as advance purchase/minimum stay requirements) commonly referred to as “Back-to-Back Ticketing” is prohibited by Ravn.

Ravn’s Remedies for Violation(s) of Rules. Where a Ticket is purchased and used in violation of the Contract of Carriage or any fare Rule (including Hidden Cities Ticketing, Point Beyond Ticketing, Throwaway Ticketing, or Back-to-Back Ticketing), Ravn has the right in its sole discretion to take all actions permitted by law, including but not limited to any or all of the following:

Invalidate the Ticket(s).
Cancel any remaining portion of the Passenger’s itinerary.
Confiscate any unused Flight Coupons.
Refuse to board the Passenger and to carry the Passenger’s baggage, unless the difference between the fare paid and the fare for transportation used is collected prior to boarding.
Assess the Passenger for the actual value of the ticket which shall be the difference between the lowest fare applicable to the Passenger’s actual itinerary and the fare actually paid.
Delete miles in the Passenger’s frequent flyer account, terminate the Passenger’s participation in the frequent flyer program, or take any other action permitted by the Frequent Flyer Terms and Conditions in Ravn’ “Frequent Flyer Program” (if applicable).
Take legal action with respect to the Passenger.

Period of Validity. Except as otherwise provided in this Rule or required by the applicable local law of a foreign jurisdiction, any eligible ticket issued by Ravn or its authorized agent on Ravn ticket stock will be valid for transportation for one year from the date on which transportation commences at the point of origin as designated on the original ticket or, if no portion of the ticket is used, one year from the date of issuance of the original ticket. When a ticket includes an excursion or special fare having a shorter period of validity than one year, the shorter period of validity will apply only to the excursion or special fare transportation. When a fare limits the carriage to specific periods of the day, week, month, or year, the ticket is valid for the specified periods only. When fares are combined to create Round/Circle/Open-Jaw Trips, the most restrictive provisions will apply to the entire transportation. Note: Nonrefundable fares limit the period of validity.
Failure to cancel a ticketed reservation before departure will result in loss of confirmed space, and the ticket will lose all value and a new ticket must be purchased. No rebooking is permitted.
Extension of Validity Period

If the Passenger is prevented from using the ticket, or a portion thereof during the period of validity specified in this Rule due to a Ravn flight cancellation or because Ravn is unable to provide space on the flight, Ravn will, without additional collection of fare, extend the ticket validity period of such passenger’s ticket until the first flight of Ravn, on which space is available in the class of service for which the fare has been paid.
If the Passenger is unable to commence or continue his/her travel due to his/her personal illness or physical incapacity, or the illness, death, or physical incapacity of a member of his/her immediate family, or of an associate with whom he/she is traveling, Ravn will extend the period of validity beyond the original limit but not to exceed thirty (30) days.

Waiver of Minimum Stay Requirements – Special Fare. In the event of the death of a passenger enroute, the minimum stay and group travel requirements with regard to any special fares will be waived for passengers who are immediate family members of the deceased passenger or were otherwise actually accompanying the deceased passenger, on the following conditions:

The ticket must be endorsed “earlier return on account of death of (name of passenger)”; and
A copy of the death certificate duly executed by the competent authorities under the applicable laws of the country in which death has occurred must be presented to Ravn at the time of re-ticketing. Passengers will be accommodated under this provision only in the class of service originally ticketed. NOTE: If the death certificate is not available at the time the passenger requests re-ticketing under this provision, or if documentation satisfactory to Ravn has not been provided, the passenger(s) requesting re-ticketing will be accommodated only upon payment of the fare applicable to transportation actually used and a request for a refund may later be filed with Ravn with the documents required. Upon receipt of the request for a refund and all supporting documents, Ravn will determine whether a refund to the Passenger is appropriate. If so, the maximum refund will be the difference between the total fare paid by the Passenger and the amount such Passenger would have paid if a waiver had been originally furnished under the provisions of this Rule.

Ticket Issue Date. The date when payment is made by credit card, or the ticket invoice date established when payment is made by other acceptable form of payment, will constitute the date a Ticket is “issued” in determining the validity period under this Rule.

Refunds – Involuntary

The amount Ravn will refund upon surrender of the unused portion of the Passenger’s Ticket for involuntary reasons pursuant to Rule 18 or Rule 22 will be as follows:

If no portion of the ticket has been used: An amount equal to the fare and charges paid. EXCEPTION: Ravn shall not be obligated to refund any portion(s) of a fully unused Ticket which does not reflect a confirmed reservation on a Ravn flight involved in a Schedule Irregularity, unless such ticket was issued by Ravn.
If a portion of the Ticket has been used:
1. One Way fares – An amount equal to the lowest comparable one way fare for the class of service paid for the segment not flown.
2. Round Trip, Circle Trip, or Open Jaw fare – 50% of the roundtrip fare for the class of service paid, for the segment not flown.
3. Area Fare/Flat Rate Fare – The refund amount will be computed by applying the same rate of discount, if any, applied in computing the original fare from the point of termination to the destination on the ticket, stopover, or the point where transportation will be resumed via the routing specified on the ticket, if the point of termination was on the routing of the ticket; or if the point of termination was not on the routing specified on the ticket, the direct routing of any carrier operating service between such points.
4. If no fare of the type (fare basis) paid by the passenger is published between the termination point and the passenger’s destination or next stopover point, the refund amount will be the same proportion of the normal coach (Y) fare published between the termination point and the destination or next stopover point, as the fare paid is of the normal coach (Y) fare between the passenger’s point of origin or previous stopover point and destination or next stopover point.
