Applicability of Fares(Extracted from IATA Reso 017)
The fare paid is only applicable when international travel actually starts in the countryof the point of origin shown on the ticket.
Different carriers in a fareIf, in the particular routing, travel is not limited to one or more specified carrier(s),transportation may be on the service of any participating and connecting carrier. Thepublication of a routing does not imply the existence of a service or that traffic rightsare granted. Therefore, the schedules of carriers must always be consulted whenmaking routing.
Normal Fares
Full fares for a First/Business/Economy Class service and restricted fares publishedas normal fares (e.g. F2, C2, Y2 ect.). Children and infant fares which are establishedas a percentage of a normal fare are also considered to be normal fares.These Fares bare the Fare Type Codes FU/FR/FS/FT, BU/BR/BS/BT andEU/ER/ES/ET.
Special FaresAny fare other than normal fare.
Cabotage Fares
Are fares for transportation between the territories of the same state (e.g. Paris toReunion). These fares are not applicable for transportation by all carriers.
British CabotageJourneys between the following territories are British Cabotage and traffic isrestricted to British airlines which have authority to issue tickets on foreign airlinesunder certain circumstances.
Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Caicos Islands, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar,Montserrat, Turks Islands, United Kingdom
Dutch CabotageBetween and within Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
French CabotageBetween and within Continental France, Corsica, French Guiana, Guadeloupe(including St. Barthelemy, Northern St. Martin, Les Saintes, La Desirade, Marie-Galante-Grand-Bourg), Martinique, Mayotte, Reunion, St. Pierre and Miquelon, NewCaledonia (including Loyalty Islands), French Polynesia (including Wallis andFutuna).

Islands, Wake Island.
Fares Established as a Percentage
When fares are expressed as a percentage of another fare and different percentagesapply on a journey, apply the following procedures:- apply the percentage to the base fare to establish a nominal fare level- use the nominal fare level for application of all fare construction rulesExample:Journey A-B-C-DChildrens fare:A-C 50% of the adult fare
A-D 50% of the adult fareB-C 67% of the adult fareB-D 67% of the adult fare
Calculate amounts resulting from the application of the above percentage. Usingthese amounts, apply minimum fare checks (HIPs, CTMs...)

Validities and Counting
Validity of Ticket
A ticket is valid one year after issuance. If the travel starts later than ticket issuance,the validity is one year form the date of the first flight (departure).
Exceptions:- for tickets paid for in the currencies of Colombia, Gambia, Ghana, Sierra Leone,
Zambia, travel must be commenced within one month after the date of issuance- within Japan: International tickets issued for wholly domestic travel in Japan on
which reserved status is shown will be valid only for the flight for which thereservation is made; open dated tickets are valid for 60 days (via NH 90 days)from date of issue
- tickets issued for only seasonable services will be valid only for this use
- tickets for domestic transportation may have a shorter validity- via SA: normal fare tickets issued for wholly domestic journeys within South Africa
and Southwest Africa by SA are valid for six months
Once the validity is fixed, such validity will be basic for any reissue or rerouting.
Validity of Fares
Normal OW, RT or CT fares are valid one year. The validity of special fares isdescribed in the respective rules.If normal and special fares are combined in one ticket, such shorter period of validityshall apply only with respect to such special fare transportation, unless the shorter
accordance with the combination of rules for the special fare in question.
Counting of Days
Departure for each flight coupon must be scheduled before midnight local time ofexpiry date on such flight coupon. In case of minimum stay requirements, the day towhich the minimum stay is related shall not be counted.
Examples:- travel under an open ticket issued 01OCT must be commenced not later than
midnight of 01OCT of the year following- if travel under flight coupon No. 1 with an international flight commenced 01OCT,
the last flight coupon of the ticket must be used for a flight scheduled to depart notlater than midnight 01OCT of the year following, provided a normal fare is involved
- for special fares the simplest way to determine minimum and maximum stay is toadd the number of days to the dates from which they must be counted

Stopovers and Transfers
General Stopover Rule
Stopovers are permitted at passengers request at any scheduled stop of an aircraft ifarranged and ticketed in advance.
Exceptions:
No stopovers are permitted if:- a carrier has no traffic rights- the fare does not permit stopovers- the routing regulations do not permit stopovers
Limitation on stopover has to be observed if:
- a fare used limits for stopovers- carriage is wholly within the USA or when US domestic fares are used in
combination with other fares. Stopovers in USA are only permitted upon paymentof the sector fare via the stopover point
- travel in IC-services within India, stopover restrictions are to be respected
Definition of Stopovers
IATA Reso 012: Definition Stopover::When a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is scheduled to depart laterthan 24 hours after arrival (local time)Exception:
for travel wholly within Central America or for travel wholly between Central Americaand Panama: when a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is scheduled todepart later then 6 hours after arrival (local time).Attn: there may be exceptions by carrier.
When a transit point is used as the origin, destination of a side trip, that point will becounted as a stopover unless the time interval between the arrival immediatelypreceding the side trip and the departure immediately following the side trip does notconstitute a stopover.
Specific Conditions for Travel at Fares within Area 1
Tickets sold in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay in the countrysown currency may not provide for a stopover in that country once the passenger hasleft it, if the ticket includes travel outside Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru,Uruguay, unless otherwise specified in a fare rule, en-route stopovers are permittedfree and all RT fares permit a free stopover at the point of turnaround fareconstruction point.
Counting of Stopovers
- in case of RTs or CTs, the stopover at point of turnaround (fare construction point)is not counted
- in case of turnaround OJ trips, the outward point of arrival and the inward point ofdeparture is one stopover which is not counted
7/30/2019 Lufthansa Application of Tariff IATA Reso
10/73

- a transit point used as the origin, destination of a sidetrip will be counted as astopover unless the time interval between the arrival immediately preceding thesidetrip and the departure immediately following the sidetrip does not counted asone stopover
- when one or more portions of travel are by surface transportation, the last point of
arrival by air and the first departure by air on each such surface break counttogether as 1 stopover if the time interval between arrival immediately precedingthe surface sector and departure following the surface sector constitutes astopover, provided that:- if stopovers are restricted to a specific area and there is a surface sector
involved, both points in the surface sector must be in the specific area- where a specific routing permits stopovers at named points, both points of the
surface sector must permit stopovers- surface sectors are permitted between two named transfer points in a routing- if one point has a stopover charge the charge must be assessed, if both points
have stopover charge only one (the higher level) is assessed.

General Transfer Rule
Transfers may be limited by the fare rule, normal fares have no transfer limitations.
Definition of TransfersA transfer takes place when a passenger changes the aircraft.
Iata Reso 012: Definition Stopover::When a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is scheduled to depart laterthan 24 hours after arrival (local time)Exception:for travel wholly within Central America or for travel wholly between Central Americaand Panama: when a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is scheduled todepart later then 6 hours after arrival (local time).Attn: there may be exceptions by carrier.
Counting of Transfers
Whenever transfers are limited by a special fare rule, the following applies:- a transfer is permitted at the point of turnaround/fare construction point and this
transfer will not be counted- if a transfer is restricted to a specific area and there is a surface sector involved,
both points in the surface sector must be in the specific area- where a specific routing permits transfers at named point(s), both points of the
surface sector must permit transfers- where there is a surface break, the last point of arrival by air and the first point of
departure together count as one transfer, unless the surface break terminates in orcommences from the point of turnaround (fare construction point)

Published Fares and Add-On Amounts
Where no published direct fare exists between 2 points over the required routing, a
through fare can be constructed by means of add-on amounts:- add the add-on amount to the published fare between the origin/destination andthe add-on gateway city
- only one add-on amount at each end of a published direct fare may be used- the add-on amount to be used must applicable for the same class as the published
fare to which it is added- a fare constructed with add-on is regarded as a published through fare and must
be shown in the ticket as one single amount- such through fare will then be subject to all rule conditions appl9icable to the
international fare used in the construction.Add-on must not be separately sold/ticketed as a sector fares
Mileage System / Routings
MPM: Maximum permitted mileageTPM: Ticketed point mileage (effective mileage between two ticketed points of
the routing)
Mileage Calculation
- add up the TPM for all ticketed sectors between the terminal points of the through
fare- compare the sum of the TPM with the MPM- sectors travelled by surface within a through fare must be included. If a TPM is not
published for the surface sector, the lowest combination of TPMs over anotherpoint may be used
- TPMs and MPMs must be used into the global direction according to the fare
Applicable Fare when Mileage exceeded
Where the TPM is in excess of the MPM by:

Interrupted Travel
General Rule for Interrupted Travel
For fare components which include one or more surface sectors, the fare shall be thelower of either:- the total through fare, whereby the mileage of any unused sector must be included in
the mileage calculation. In the absence of a direct TPM for an unused sector a TPMmust be assessed by combination of TPM over other sectors, or
- the sum of sector fares of the sectors actually flown
Interrupted Travel with Normal Fares
In case of normal fare travel, where the international surface break is greater than theTPM over the routing travelled from the point of origin to the point of commencement of
the surface break and the surface break is not included in the through fare, the journeyfrom the point of origin up to the surface break shall be ticketed separately.
If a surface break is greater than the routing travelled from the point of origin to the point ofcommencement of the surface break:
- measure the surface break by means of TPM, if not available- divide the MPM between starting point and ending point of the surface break by the
factor 1.20 and compare with the total TPM of the routing from the point of origin to thepoint of commencement of the surface break. Provided there is no shortest operatedmileage, the TPM shall be established by a combination of TPM.

Fare construction
Fare construction principles - how to proceed
Establish the journey type by calculating the itinerary as a single PUC whenever possible.- apply fare construction steps and checks required for the journey type involved- take note of type of surface sectors, if any- when applying fares with stopover and transfer conditions, note that
ticketed transfer points include all intermediate points with or withoutstopovers
- for each fare component, determine whether the published fare may beapplied by means of specified routing options or the mileage system
- compare the fare of this single PUC to the fare resulting from the combination of twoor more PUC
- for combinations of normal fare pricing units, follow the normal fare determination- choose appropriate breakpoints and take note of limitations on indirect travel, if any- make sure that terms of combinability are satisfied- quote whichever is lower
Basic fare construction principles
An itinerary is priced as a single journey however if the itinerary can be broken intoseparate "stand-alone" prices which give the consumer a lower price then this is permitted
A "journey" is every point on the ticket. The fare for a journey (excluding side trips
assessed separately) is the lowest of- a single pricing unit for the journey, or- any series of end-on combined pricing units which collectively comprise
the journey being travelled
A "pricing unit" is any stand-alone price (this also includes the price for a "journey" which isalso a stand-alone price). The term "pricing unit" is used instead of the term "stand-alone"(a stand-alone price is a price which could be sold separately on a separate ticket). Thefare for a pricing unit is assessed as a "one way sub journey" using OW fares or as a"return sub journey" using 1/2-RT-fares.
The fare for a fare component is the lower amount which can be determined according to:1. Mileage principle2. Lowest combination of fares principle: the lowest combination of fares over anintermediate ticketed point on the itinerary, subject to minimum fare checks
Note: this principle does not preclude combination of international fares withnormal/special fares within the USA
All fare constructions must be accomplished in NUCs
Fares to be assessed for the total journey are the applicable fares eff. on the date ofdeparture on the first sector

The fare paid will only apply when international travel commences in the country of theorigin of the journey shown on the ticket. If international travel actually commences outsidethe country of the ticketed origin of the journey, the fare must be reassessed from the pointwhere international travel actually began.
For example, if a ticket is purchased at the Koruna fare for travel PRG-ZRH-NYC, and thepassenger actually commences travel in ZRH instead of PRG, the fare must bereassessed at the ZRH-NYC, Swiss franc level.

Pricing Unit Concept
The Pricing Unit Concept for fare construction rules was introduced 01. JUN 2000.
A pricing unit is essentially a fare which is capable of being sold independently of anyother fare. The pricing unit concept provides the opportunity to price multiple stopoverjourneys in alternate ways.
For example, a journey PAR-TYO-SYD-surface TYO-PAR can be assessed either as aOW PAR-SYD (via TYO) plus a OW TYO-PAR (in the direction from PAR), or as a RTPAR-TYO plus a OW TYO-SYD. The lower fare obtained by the 2 methods would beused, subject to any minimum fare checks. Explanations and examples of different typesof itineraries and associated fare construction principles appear in the following rules.
Definitions
A new set of definitions were established for use with the pricing unit concept. The mostimportant definitions for the PUC are:
Journey
The origin to destination of the entire ticket (every point on a ticket)
Pricing unit
A journey or part of a journey which is priced as a separate entity, i.e. is capable of beingticketed separately.
One way sub journey
Part of a journey where travel from one country does not return to such country of origin.The fare for a OW sub journey is assessed as a single pricing unit using a OW fare.
Return sub journey
Part of a journey where travel from a point/country returns to such point/ country(RT/CT/NOJ). The fare for a return sub journey is assessed as a single pricing unit using1/2-RT-fares.
Country of unit origin
The country in which the origin of the pricing unit is situated.
Destination
The final stopping place of the journey shown on the ticket.
Origin
The initial starting place of the journey as shown on the ticket.
Unit destination
The final stopping place of a pricing unit.
Unit originThe initial starting point of a pricing unit.

Constructed fares
Means:- an unspecified through fare created by the use of add-ons, or- two or more fares shown as a single amount in a fare calculation and show
as c/
7/30/2019 Lufthansa Application of Tariff IATA Reso

Fare construction must be via the itinerary of the passenger. The addition of points not onthe passenger-s itinerary is not permitted (the use of fiction points is not permitted).Exception:This shall not prevent the use of a point not on the itinerary for the purpose of:
- establishing a through fare by the use of an add-on amount- combining international fares with domestic normal/special fares within USA
Add-on constructions
Means an amount used only to construct an unspecified through fare.
Add-on application
Where no published fare exists between 2 points over the required routing, thethrough fare can be constructed by means of add-ons as follows:- add the add-on amount to the published fare between the origin/destination
and the add-on gateway city
- the add-on amount to be used must be applicable for the same class as thepublished fare to which it is added
- only one add-on amount at each end of a published fare may be used to construct athrough fare
- a fare constructed with add-on is regarded as a published through fare and must beshown on the ticket as a single amount. Such through fare will then be subject to allrule conditions applicable to the international fare used in the construction
- add-ons must not be separately sold/ticketed as sector fares
C/ construction to establish unpublished fares
For purposes of fare construction checks, a fare need not be constructed over anotherticketed point when there are no published fares to/from/between an intermediate point(s)in the routing.
Fares based on a Percentage of another Fare
When PU contains fare components for which different percentages apply, the fare foreach component shall be calculated using the percentage applicable to that component.Fare construction checks (HIP, CTM, DMC...) shall be made using the levels which resultof applying such percentage.
Example:Travel: A B C DChildrens fare:A-C 50% of the adult fareA-D 50% of the adult fareB-C 67% of the adult fare
B-D 67% of the adult fare
7/30/2019 Lufthansa Application of Tariff IATA Reso

Calculate amounts resulting from the application of the above percentages. Using theseamounts, apply minimum fare checks (such as HIP/CTM checks).

Comparing fares with global indicatorsIn applying Global Indicators (GI) the following applies:
the comparison of the itinerary of a fare component with a GI is based on theticketed points within the fare component and not on the operation of the flights
fares may only be used for the GI for which they are established
The itinerary within a fare component will attract a Global Indicator as follows:

Construction Rules For Journeys
General
The following will be considered as one country:- USA and Canada- Denmark, Norway and Sweden (=Scandinavia)
To establish unpublished fares, or fares expressed as a percentage, see the rule.Combination of international fares and normal/special fares within the USA is permitted.
How to determine the Fare for a Journey
The fare for a journey (excluding side trips assessed separately) is the lowest of- a single pricing unit for the journey or
- any series of end-on combined pricing units which collectively comprisethe journey being travelled
Fares may only be constructed over ticketed points in the passengers itinerary. Theaddition of points into the itinerary is not permitted, provided this does not apply to add-onconstruction points.Exception: combination of USA domestic fares with international fares
"Slicing" and "Dicing" an Itinerary
The application of the PUC depends on the itinerary. It is necessary to travel over a
common point/country more than once in order to be able to "slice and dice" the itinerary.If this occurs the itinerary is assessed as a single price (pricing unit) and where separatepricing units can be assessed these are calculated and the sum of the pricing unitscompared to the fare for the entire journey - the lower amount being charged. It issometimes possible that an itinerary will allow a number of different pricing unitcalculations. In all cases it is the lowest of the possibilities that is applied.
In order to ensure that simple RT or CT journeys are not broken into a series of OW-units,any journey or sub journey which is by definition a RT or CT must use 1/-RT-fares.
Round, Circle, Open Jaw Trip Journeys
If the routing of a journey satisfies the definition of a RT, CT or OJ:- the PU must be assessed as a RT/CT or OJ as applicable and must use half RT fares,
the use of OW fares is not permitted- for end-on combination normal and special fares, completely separate the special and
normal fare and access the normal fare sub journey
Example:Travel: MAN ROM CPH MADFare construction:
7/30/2019 Lufthansa Application of Tariff IATA Reso
31/73
31
MAN ROM 1/2 RTROM CPH 1/2 RT ONE PUMAN CPH 1/2 RT
- OW fares are not allowed as travel is continuous, circuitous and returns to the same
point- a CTM check is performed MAN-ROM RT and MAN-CPH RT- the last fare component is assessed from the country of unit origin
RT, CT, OJ Journeys with common Point/Country
If there is a common point/country on the routing, the journey may be broken into multiplereturn sub journey PUs using half RT fares.A return sub journey only occurs if the fare is broken more than once at the commonpoint/country. The fare for travel between such fare break points must be priced as a RT,CT or normal/special fare OJ, as applicable, and must use 1/2-RT-fares.
If travel between such fare break points would require the use of OW-fares, this is notpermitted.
Fare Direction for RT, CT, OJ Journeys
Fares are assessed in the direction of travel, except that the fare component into thecountry of pricing unit origin shall be in the direction from such country i.e. not in thedirection of travel.
Note: except for RT pricing units, fare components between Canada and USA and withinthe area of Denmark, Norway, Sweden are assessed in the direction of travel.
OJ Journeys - alternative Option for Assessment
If the routing of the journey is determined as fulfilling the definition of a normal/special fareOJ, the pricing unit is assessed as two half RT fares, provided that, if there is a commonpoint(s) or other points in either the country of origin or the country of turnaround or both,the fare may alternatively be assessed as a return sub journey from/to the commonpoints(s) or other points and a OW sub journey (s) for the domestic sector(s)
In the case of the alternative pricing option the OW pricing unit must be assessed usingOW fares and the return sub journey must be assessed using half RT-fares.
Fares must be assessed in the direction of travel except that the fare component into thecountry of pricing unit origin shall be in the direction from such country, i.e. not in thedirection of travel
*Note: except for RT pricing units, fare components between Canada and USA and withinthe area of Denmark, Norway, Sweden are assessed in the direction of travel.
Journeys other than Round, Circle, Open Jaw TripsIf the routing of a journey does not satisfy the definition of a RT, CT or normal/special fareOJ such routings shall be assessed:
7/30/2019 Lufthansa Application of Tariff IATA Reso
32/73
32
- as a OW journey using a OW PU- as a series of OW sub journey s using OW PUs- as a RT or CT journey with the surface sector assumed to be flown- if there is a common point/country: as a mix of a OW sub journey and a RT sub
journey . For the OW sub journey , OW fares must be used, the use of half RT fares is
not permitted- fares will be constructed in the direction of travel except that the fare for a OW sub
journey that terminates in a country from which a previous PU has commenced will beassessed in the direction from that country
*Note: Except for RT PUs, fare components between Canada and USA and within thearea of Denmark, Norway, Sweden are assessed in the direction of travel.
Journey Limitations on Indirect Travel
For Canada and USA and for Denmark, Norway, Sweden to be considered one
country this rule does not apply:
Arrivals and Departure in one Country
A journey on a ticket, at any time, must not include more than four international arrivalsand four international departures in any country provided for the counting of arrivals anddepartures surface sectors are considered to be flown
Example:
AMS-CAI-RTM-LON-AMS-DXB-AMS-JNB-AMS-BAH
This journey is not allowed to have five international departures from the Netherlands

Construction Rules for Individual Pricing Units
For the purpose of this rule the following are considered as one country:
- USA and Canada- Denmark, Norway and Sweden
To establish "unpublished fares" and fares based as a percentage of another fare see therules.Combination of international fares and normal/special fares within the USA is permitted.
OW Pricing Units
A separately charged OW fare which does not return to the country of origin OW faresmust be used for OW pricing units (the use of 1/2 RT fares is not permitted)
The fare for a OW pricing unit/sub journey is assessed in the direction of travel. However,when a pricing unit for a OW sub journey terminates in a country from which a previouspricing unit has been assessed, the fare for the OW sub journey into such country isassessed from such country, i.e. not in the direction of travel.
Example:Travel: ATL-LON-STO-LIS-GLAConstruction: ATL-LON OW 1 PU
LON-STO OW 1 PU
STO-LIS OW 1 PUGLA-LIS OW 1 PU total 4 PU
- fare component LIS-GLA must be in the direction of GLA-LIS, because thetermination point (GLA) is in the same country from which a previous PU(LON-STO) was assessed.
Exception: when the countries of both the origin and the destination of a OW PU havebeen used to assess a previous PU, the direction of the last PU will be assessed in thereverse direction of travel.
ExampleOW sector faresTravel: GVA-LON-ATH-ZRH(X)-MAN
Although both ZRH and LON have been used to assess a previous PU, the ZRH-MANcomponent will be in the direction from MAN.

Minimum checks for OW pricing units
OW Backhaul Rule (BHC)
The BHC applies only when using normal or special one way fares.
If there is a higher rated intermediate stopover point in a fare component, the fare for suchcomponent shall be the higher of either:
the applicable fare between the fare construction points (for the end-to-endcomponent), or
the direct fare from the origin point of the fare component
to the highest rated intermediate stopover point,
plus the difference between such fare and the direct fare from origin to destination
of the component
Exceptions:The BHC does not apply to any point which has been excluded from the HIP fare check,provided the conditions of the exclusion are met.
The BHC does not apply for
journeys wholly within Area 1
journeys wholly between Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and Area 2
pricing units wholly within Europe

Deleted as of 01. June 2000
Round Trip Pricing Units
Definition of a RT:
A RT means a journey entirely by air from a point of origin to another point and return to
the point of origin, comprising two fare components only, for which the applicable normalhalf RT fare for each component, measured from the point of origin, is the same for therouting travelled.
If the fares to be used differ through class of service / seasonality / midweek / weekend /carrier variations, the outbound fare shall be used also for the inbound fare component forthe purpose of determining if the journey is a RT.
Unless otherwise specified, where a RT fare is not published for a RT pricing unit, the farewill be twice the outbound OW fare.
The reference in the RT-definition to "two fare components only" does not preclude faresfor end-on combination or side trips paid for separately being shown on the same ticket.
7/30/2019 Lufthansa Application of Tariff IATA Reso
35/73

RT fares, when combinable, may be used with other fares on the basis of half RT (insteadof OW fare).
Local Currency Minimum Fare Checks (COP)
Does not apply on LH fares. Officially deleted as of 01. June 2008
Circle Trip Pricing Units
Definition of a CT
Normal fares: Travel from a point and return thereto by a continuous, circuitous air route,including travel comprising two fare components but which do not meet the conditions ofthe RT definition.
Special fares: Travel from a point and return thereto by a continuous, circuitous air route,comprising only two international fare components which do not meet the conditions of RTdefinition.
Circle trip provisions - unreasonable connections: A sector between two fare constructionpoints shown in the chart "Establishing Unpublished Fares" where it is considered that noreasonable air service is available, may be travelled by other means of transport with noprejudice to the CT. The conditions applicable to CT construction, including the CTMcheck, will apply to all air portions of the journey.The cities which are considered to have no reasonable connection are listed under:"Establishing Unpublished Fares".
Circle Trip Construction
The fare shall be the lowest combination of half RT fare components for sections of theitinerary starting the calculation from the unit origin. All fare components shall be applied inthe direction of travel.
Exception: Any fare component terminating in the country of unit origin shall be applied inthe direction from that country.
Where more than one level of fare is available for the carrier(s) and class of service used,the lower/lowest level may be used subject to any conditions of such fare.
Circle Trip Minimum Fare Check (CTM)
The fare for a CT PU (excluding any side trip PU which has been charged separately)must not be less than the direct route normal or special RT fare (as appropriate) for thehighest rated pair of points applicable to the class of service used from the point of unitorigin to any stopover point on the route of travel. Where more than one normal fare ispublished for the carrier and the class of service used, the lower/lowest level may be used.
7/30/2019 Lufthansa Application of Tariff IATA Reso
36/73
36
Different global Indicators (GI-S)
Where the itinerary includes different global indicators (including round the world travel),the CTM check is made using the lower of such RT fares from the unit origin to each pointto be checked.
*Note: only direct route fares between 2 points with the appropriate GI-S are to be used, ifthere is no direct route fare with the appropriate GI-S or there is no GI for the routing thenit is not necessary to construct such fare and the CTM will be made on available fares.
Where RT fares from the point of unit origin to any stopover point differ according tocarrier(s) used outbound and inbound, the fare to be used for the check shall be the lowerof such RT fares.
When there are RT fares with different GI-S from the point of unit origin to any stopoverpoint, the fare to be used for the CTM is the fare applicable to the flown itinerary.
Specials fares
Special Fares: If no qualifying special fare is available to a higher rated normal farestopover point, the fare for the PU must not be less than the direct RT normal fare to thehigher rated point for the class of service used.
Exceptions:- no CTM check is required for RTW-travel originating In Australia/New Zealand- no CTM check is required for an en route point which has been excluded for the HIP
check provided the conditions of the exclusion are observed.
Unpublished fares
When no fare is published for the CTM check, it shall be established for the lowestcombination of RT fares of the class used over any ticketed point. When shown on theticket, such constructed fare shall be identified as c/.
Example:Travel: A-B-C-D-A (CT)Fare construction: A-B + B-D + A-D (using 1/2 RT fares)Unpublished fare: A-C
For the purpose of the CTM check, the fare for A-C will be established as the lower of A-BRT plus B-C RT or A-D RT plus D-C RT.

Normal Fare Open Jaw Pricing Units
Definition of normal fare OJ
Travel from a country and return thereto; comprising two international farecomponents only and whereA) Origin Open Jaw: the outward point of departure in the country of unit
origin and the inward point of arrival in the country of unit origin aredifferent
Pls be aware that this reflects the IATA definition of an OJ. LH has decided not to apply astricter rule for NOJ than for special fare OJs and allows an international OJ for as OOJ aswell as for TOJ provided the PU does not consist of more than two international farecomponents. .
However, in rare cases this general policy might be disregarded for specific marketrequirements.Consequently, it is important to double-check the respective fare note.
B) Turnaround Open Jaw: the outward point of arrival and the inward pointdeparture are different or
C) Double Open Jaw: the outward point of departure in the country of unitorigin and the inward point of arrival in the country of unit origin aredifferent (origin open jaw) andthe outward point of arrival and the inward point of departure are
different (turnaround open jaw)
Fare construction for normal fare open jaw
Generalthe fare for a NOJ pricing unit shall be the sum of 1/2 the applicable RTfares for both international legs of the open jaw, assessed in thedirection from the country of unit origin.
For the purpose of an NOJCanada, USA shall be considered as one countryExcept for pricing units wholly within Scandinavia, Scandinavia shall beconsidered as one countryAruba; Netherlands Antilles shall be considered as one countryExcept for pricing units wholly within Europe, Europe shall be considered as one country
Origin Open Jaw:Only domestic surface sectors are permitted; except for those countries tobe considered one mentioned above
Turnaround Open Jaw:Both domestic and international surface breaks are permitted; CPM applies a

described under minimum checks for NOJ below
When the surface sector is an international sectorthe distance of such sector must not be greater than the flown distance of the shorter of

Special Fare Open Jaw Pricing Units
Definition of Special Fare OJ
Travel comprising only two international fare components with a surface break which,unless otherwise stated in a fare rule, may be between any two points/countries in thearea of origin and turnaround as provided for in the special fare rule. In this context thefollowing rules apply:
- Turnaround Open Jaw (TOJ)the outward point of arrival and the inward point of departure are not the same
- Origin Open Jaw (OOJ)the outward point of departure and the inward point of arrival are not the same
- Single Open Jaw (SOJ)either turnaround open jaw or origin open jaw
- Open Jaw (OJ)any combination of the above
Fare construction for special Fare open Jaw
Unless otherwise stated in an applicable fare rule, the fares shall be the sum of half theapplicable RT fares, subject to any applicable mileage surcharge and/or higherintermediate fare for both legs of the OJ.
When the inbound component terminates in the country of unit origin, the fare applicablefrom that country is used.
Exception:For travel originating and terminating in Europe, except for travel wholly within Europe:when an OJ applies between countries in Europe, the fare component which terminates inEurope shall be assessed in the direction from Europe.
Example:Travel:GVA LIM STR (Europe-Mid Atlantic Excursion)
This fare permits a SOJ construction:GVA-LIM 1/2 RT excursionSTR-LIM 1/2 RT excursion
Unless otherwise stated in a fare rule the surface sector where permitted may occurbetween points within (domestic) or between (international) countries in the area of unitorigin and/or unit turnaround as specified in the special fare rule.
Example:Travel: NBO TYO surface SEL NBO (GIT from Africa to Japan/Korea)This special fare permits turnaround OJ within Japan, within Korea or between Japan and
Korea.

Construction Rules for Fare Components flown inone Class of Service
GeneralThe following countries will be considered as one country:- Canada and USA- Denmark, Norway and Sweden (= Scandinavia)
General Provisions for fare components
The fare for a fare component will be the lower amount which can be determinedaccording to:- mileage principle- lowest combination of fares principle
the lowest combination of fares over an intermediate ticketed pointon the itinerary, subject to minimum fare checks.*Note: this principle does not preclude combination of internationalfares with normal/special fares within the USA.

Limitations on Indirect Travel
For Canada and USA and for Denmark, Norway and Sweden to be considered one
country, this rule does not apply.General Limitations
A fare component must not include more than:- one departure from its point of origin, or- one arrival at its point of destination, or- one stopover at any one intermediate ticketed point-
Additional limitations at the origin point
For journeys originating in Area 1:A fare component within Area 1 must not include more than one international departureand one international arrival at any ticketed point in the country where the journeyoriginates.
Example:POA-BUE-SAO-NYC: there are 2 international departures from Brazil, the useof through fare is not permitted.
Additional limitations at intermediate points
For TC1 or TC31 (via the Pacific) fare components, no more than one arrival and onedeparture at any intermediate ticketed point may be included, regardless of where travelcommences.
Additional Limitations by Country
Brazil (except journeys wholly within South America)
For a pricing unit commencing in Brazil a component from a point in Brazil must notinclude more than 2 domestic sectors in Brazil.
Examples:
1. BSB RIO NYC at a through fare BSB NYC is permitted2. POA RIO SSA LIS at a through fare POA LIS is permitted3. FLN X/CWB IGU X/SAO LON at a through fare FLN LON is not permitted. Thefirst international fare component must be assessed from CWB and FLN CWB chargedseparately.
Germany
For a pricing unit originating in Germany a fare component from/to a point in Germany
must not include more than 2 domestic sectors in Germany.

Journey limitations
A journey on a ticket or conjunction ticket, at the time of original issue or when reissued,must not include more than four international arrivals and four international departures inany one country; provided for the counting of arrivals and departures surface sectors are
considered to be flown.
Example: AMS-CAI-RTM-LON-AMS-DXB-AMS-JNB-AMS-BAH
This journey is not allowed to have five international departures from the Netherlands

Fare components with a surface sector(s)
Fare CalculationFor itineraries which include a surface sector apply the lowest of the through fare or thesum of fares over the sectors actually flown.
Normal fares
In the case of normal fare travel, if the TPM for an international surface break is:- greater than the TPM over the routing travelled from the origin of the journey up to the
point where the break commences, and the surface sector is not included in thethrough fare, ravel from origin of the journey up to the surface break will be ticketedseparately, the remainder of the journey being assessed in accordance with the rules
for payment of fares outside the country of commencement of travel.Example: Travel NYC-LON-PAR xxx FRA-LON-NYC
Construction could be
NYC-LON RT 1 pricing unitLON-PAR OW 1 pricing unitFRA-LON OW 1 pricing unit
Notwithstanding separate PUs, the TPMs is undertaken from NYC-LON plus LON-PARare added together and the resulting sum is compared to the TPM of the surface breakPAR-FRA
- TPM calculation must always be made from the point of origin of the journey regardless
of the number of fare components/pricing units which may be required up to thecommencement of the surface break
Example 1:KUL-JHB-SURFACE-SIN-KULTicketing procedure: The mileage for the JHB-SIN surface sector is greater than KUL-JHBmileage, and separate tickets must be issued.
Example 2:NYC-LON-PAR-SURFACE-FRA-LON-NYCTicketing procedure: a separate ticket is not required since the TPM PAR-FRA is less thanthe cumulative TPM NYC-PAR.
- if no TPM exists for the points concerned the shortest operated mileage (which isequivalent to the MPM divided by 1,2) may be used . However, if there is no shortestoperated mileage, a combination of ticketed point mileages must be used
- in applying this rule, surface sectors between Canada and USA, and those in thechapter "surface transportation" may be disregarded

Higher Intermediate Point (HIP) Check
HIP check for normal and special fares
The higher intermediate point check applies to each fare component of all pricing units(OW/RT/CT/RW/NOJ/OJ) as follows:
from fare component origin to each intermediate stopover point
from each intermediate stopover point to each subsequent intermediate stopoverpoint (Note: This is for normal fares only.)
from each intermediate stopover point to the subsequent fare break point.
HIP exceptions by countries
AfricaFor journeys wholly between Kilimanjaro and Nairobi, HIP check will be for all ticketedpoints.
IndiaFor traffic originating in India and destined to Canada/ USA, when stopovers are taken inEurope or UK, higher intermediate fares shall not be applicable from points in Europe/ UKto Canada/ USA.
IsraelFor travel originating in Israel, HIPs will be checked for all ticketed points from Israel. Thisdoes not apply to the HIP check from an intermediate point to another intermediate pointor the fare construction point, or to fares with specified routings.EXAMPLE:Travel: Tel Aviv-Frankfurt-X/London-New YorkThe HIP check is TLV-FRA, TLV-LON and FRA-NYC. (LON-NYC is not checked.)
MalawiFor journeys originating in Malawi, the HIP check in each fare component shall be appliedon all ticketed points in Malawi.
TurkeyFor travel between the Middle East and Turkey involving more than one point in Turkey,any higher intermediate point in Turkey must be charged whether or not a stopover istaken.
Western AfricaFor journeys originating in Western Africa, the HIP check in each fare component shall beapplied on all ticketed points in Western Africa.

HIP check - normal fares
General applicationIf in any routing permitted at the direct route normal fare there is a higher direct routenormal fare of the same class at an intermediate stopover point, the fare for the
component must be raised to the level of such higher fare.
Example:Travel: London- X/ Zurich-Nairobi Y class. No Stopover at ZRH.Direct FareLON-NBO NUC 1703.16.No stopover at ZRH so no HIP check is needed.Total NUC 1703.16 multiplied by NUC Conversion Factor (ROE)(NUC 1=0.60417) rounded to the nearest GBP 1 = GBP 1029.00.
Where fares are established by season or day of week or flight application, the check willbe based on the applicable fare (by season or by day of week or by flight application).
o Day of week fare level: to establish the day of week fare level to be used forthe HIP, the rule for the application of the day of week fares applies only tothe sector(s) for which the check is made. The day of travel on such sectorsis used to determine the day of week fare level used for the HIP check
Example
Routing: A B C D A
First fare component (A to C)
fare A-C is a fare established using the day of week of the firstinternational sector A-B
fare A-B is a non-day-of-week fare
there are day-of-week fares B-C with the rule that the first internationalsector determines the day of week fare to be applied
to establish the day-of-week fare level to be used for the HIP check onthe sector B-C the date of travel B to C will be used
Second fare component (fare in the direction from A to C)
fare A-C is a fare established using the day of week of the firstinternational sector A-D
fare A-D is a non-day-of-week fare
there are day-of-week fares D-C with the rule that the first international
sector determines the day-of-week fare to be applied
to establish the day-of-week fare level to be used for the HIP check on thesector C-D the date of travel C to D will be used
o Seasonal fare level: to establish the seasonal fare level to be used for theHIP, the rule for the application of seasonal fares applies only to the
7/30/2019 Lufthansa Application of Tariff IATA Reso
49/73
49
sector(s) for which the check is made. The seasonal rule for such sector isused to determine the fare level used for the HIP check
ExampleRouting A B C B AFirst fare component (A to C)
fare A-C is a non seasonal fare fare A-B is a non-seasonal fare
there are seasonal fares B-C with the rule that the firstinternational sector determines the seasonal fare to be applied
to establish the seasonal fare level to be used for the HIP checkon the sector B-C the date of travel B to C will be used
Second fare component (fare in the direction from A to C)
fare A-C is a non seasonal fare
fare A-B is a non-seasonal fare
there are seasonal fares B-C with the rule that the first
international sector determines the seasonal fare to be applied to establish the seasonal fare level to be used for the HIP check on thesector C-B the date of travel C to B will be used
If in any indirect routing permitted at the direct fare plus a mileage surcharge, there is adirect fare of the same class between any 2 ticketed points which is higher than the directfare between the fare construction points (through fare), the fare for the component mustbe raised to the level of such higher fare, then increased by the amount of mileagesurcharge required for the end-to-end component.
Fares Comparison: When comparing fares within the same class of service, this means:o Sleeper Seat with Sleeper Seat; if no Sleeper Seat compare with First Class.o First Class with First Class; if no First Class compare with Intermediate Class (or
the next lower class).o Intermediate Class with Intermediate Class; if no Intermediate Class compare with
the highest Economy Class.o Economy Class with Economy Class.
When comparing normal fares in accordance with the above, the comparison will be madein the same direction as the fare component. When using half RT fares, the comparison
will be made using half RT fares. When using one way fares, the comparison will be madeusing one way fares.
Where more than one normal fare is published for the carrier and class of service used,the lower/ lowest fare level may be used provided all stopover, transfer, seasonality or dayof week limitations of such lower/ lowest fare are satisfied, (excluding stopover charges).
The origin and destination points of a separately charged sidetrip PU are considered astopover, unless the elapsed time between arrival at the origin of the sidetrip and onward
departure from the destination of the sidetrip is within 24 hours. This rule applies even ifthe ticket indicates that the passenger is using connecting flights at both points.

When there is a fare construction surface sector, the HIP check applies to the point ofsuch surface sector that is not the fare construction point
HIP check - special fares
General applicationHaving established an applicable special fare for a pricing unit, such special fare may beapplied subject to the following:
o Price the fare as a normal fareo Establish the lowest applicable level;
If there is no HIP between both fare construction point of the special fare and anintermediate ticketed (stopover) point, the special fare may be applied
If there is a HIP between either fare construction point of the special fare and anintermediate ticketed (stopover) point, the special fare shall not be less than such higherfare, except;
o if there is a special fare of the same type at the same level or a lower level on thesector for which the normal fare applies, the special fare for the component may beapplied, or
o if there is a special fare of the same type at a higher level on the sector for whichthe higher normal fare applies, the special fare for the component shall not be lessthan such higher special fare, or
o if there is no special fare of the same type on the sector for which the normal fareapplies, the fare shall not be less than the lowest of any higher type of special farewithin the same column shown in paragraph 4 below
o in defining a fare of the same type, the comparison shall be limited to the class ofservice and
