Ticket conditions

The "flight check-in deadline" refers to the deadline for accepting the passenger on the flight as per the departure time shown on their ticket and before which the passenger must have been admitted to the flight after having checked their baggage and received their boarding pass. Once the established deadline has expired, check-in will be closed, and the Company will not incur any liability for denying boarding to any passengers arriving after said deadline. Furthermore, it may assign the unused seat to any passengers waiting on stand-by.

Due to increased airport security and in the interest of flight punctuality, unless otherwise specified, the boarding deadline will be a minimum of 60 minutes prior to scheduled departure for intercontinental flights* and 45 minutes for all domestic and European flights**. Local regulations may set a different time limit for passengers with special needs.

* With the exception of San Pedro Sula and Santa Cruz de la Sierra which are 90 minutes and Caracas which are 120 minutes.

** With the exception of Amsterdam which is 60 minutes.

Due to the booking and seat control procedures of regular airlines, situations may arise circumstantially in which, due to a lack of seats on the booked flight, a passenger may be denied boarding, despite having a ticket with a confirmed seat.

Council Regulation (EC) no. 261/2004, of 11 February 2004, establishes common standards to compensate airline passengers in cases of denial of boarding, major delays and cancellations.

The air carrier will also provide any passenger who has been refused boarding or has been affected by cancellation or delay for more than two hours with a form indicating their rights, especially in terms of compensation and assistance, if they so require. Should any passenger require any additional clarification related to the application of this regulation, they have the option of addressing the Ministry of Public Works, Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Sub-Directorate General of Air Carriage, User Services. Paseo de la Castellana, 67, 28071 - Madrid (Spain).

The rights corresponding to the passenger will be of a strictly personal nature, and they may not be transferred to another person.

In accordance with the Montreal Convention and Regulation (EC) 2027/97, there is no financial limit set for liability in case of passenger injury or death. For damages of up to 128,821 SDRs (approximately 159,042 euros), the airline cannot contest compensation claims. Above this amount, the airline can only contest a claim if it can prove that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault.

However, if the company proves that the damage has been caused by negligence on the part of the injured or deceased passenger, and the damage contributed to the said injury or death, AIR EUROPA LÍNEAS AÉREAS may be wholly or partially exempted from its liability in accordance with applicable law.

In the event of death or injury to a passenger, the airline must pay, within fifteen days of the identification of the person entitled to compensation, an advance to cover immediate economic needs. In the event of death, this advance may not be less than 16000 SDRs (approximately 19,754 euros).

In accordance with the provisions of the Montreal Convention and Regulation (EC) No. 2027/97, AIR EUROPA LÍNEAS AÉREAS S.A.U. will be liable in case of destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to the amount of 1,288 SDRs (approximately 1,590 euros). With respect to checked baggage, it is liable even when not at fault, unless the baggage was already damaged or the damage is due to the nature of the baggage or a defect or flaw. With regard to unchecked baggage, the airline is only liable for damage caused by it.

In the event of baggage delay, AIR EUROPA LÍNEAS AÉREAS S.A.U. is liable for damage provided that it has not taken all reasonable measures to prevent the damage or it has been impossible for it to take such measures. Liability in the event of baggage delay is limited to 1,288 SDRs (approximately EUR 1,590).

Passengers may benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration, at the latest at check-in, and by paying an additional fee. This declaration cannot be made on certain types of valuable objects.

The carrier will not assume liability for the transport of fragile or perishable objects beyond the legally established limits. If the checked baggage has been damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the passenger must write to the airline as soon as possible. If the damaged baggage is checked baggage, the passenger shall indicate it in writing within seven days, and in the event of delay, within twenty-one days, in both cases from the day on which the baggage was made available to the passenger.

A non-exhaustive list of items that may not be carried into restricted security areas and aircraft cabins, in accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 622/2003, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) no. 68/2004 and any future amendments that may become applicable, will be made available to the passenger upon request.

For safety reasons on board, only one piece of hand luggage per passenger is allowed in the aircraft cabin, with maximum dimensions not exceeding 55x35x25 cm (or 115 linear cm adding length, width and height) and maximum weight of 10 kg in Economy class and 14 kg in Business class. These dimensions include handles, straps, pockets, wheels and any other items that protrude from the luggage.

Restricted hand luggage

There are security measures adopted by the European Commission that restrict the amount of liquids or substances of similar consistency that passengers can carry with them when passing through security checkpoints at EU airports. For the purposes of these measures, the following are considered liquids: water and other drinks, perfumes, gels, aerosols, creams, lotions, oils, toothpaste, foams, deodorants or anything of similar consistency.

Portable electronic devices

Passengers must not use any portable electronic devices during the flight, such as radios, mobile phones, laptops or recorders, due to possible interference with the aircraft's electronic equipment. Some electronic devices may be used with crew authorisation.

Taxes, duties and fees imposed by the government

Passengers may also be required to pay legally established taxes, duties and fees that have not been charged previously.

Security controls

In most airports, security checks of passengers and their hand luggage are carried out prior to boarding, where sharp objects or any other objects that could be considered dangerous are removed. To avoid any inconvenience, we recommend transporting these items inside checked baggage. Any passenger who accepts pieces of baggage from other passengers to be transported as part of their own baggage allowance or accepts packages to be placed in their own baggage, is in violation of security measures, may be denied boarding and may be reported to airport security authorities.

Air Europa will only carry the passenger whose name appears on the ticket, and it may ask the passenger to present their identification (National Identity Document, Passport or equivalent).
