Damage Includes death, personal injury, loss, partial loss, theft or other damage arising out of, or in connection with, air carriage. SDR Special Drawing Right Tariff The published fares and/or conditions of carriage of a carrier which has filed such a "tariff", where required, with the appropriate authorities. Article 2: When these conditions apply 2.1 General These general conditions are the Carrier s conditions of carriage to which reference is made in the Carrier s tickets or electronic booking documentation. Except where clauses 2.3 and 2.4 say otherwise, they will apply to all carriage of passengers and baggage performed by the Carrier, and to other services provided by the Carrier, whether paid for or otherwise. The conditions of carriage supplement the Rules of the Carrier stated on the ticket or in electronic booking documentation on the Carrier's website. The conditions of carriage will also apply to carriage that is provided without compensation or for reduced compensation, unless reservations are specified in these conditions, in the contract, or on the ticket or in electronic booking documentation for the carriage. 2.2 Charter If the carriage is provided as a consequence of a contract concluded with a different carrier, these general terms will apply only insofar as they do not conflict with the conditions specified in the contract with the chartering company. 2.3 Mandatory statutory provisions The Carrier s General Conditions of Carriage will apply insofar as they do not conflict with applicable tariffs or legislation. In those cases where an inconsistency exists between these conditions and applicable tariffs and legislation, the tariffs and/or legislation will always take precedence over the Carrier s conditions of carriage. 2.4 The precedence of the General Conditions of Carriage over the Carrier's other rules In those cases where an inconsistency exists between other rules in the Carrier and the General Conditions of Carriage, the latter will take precedence over the Carrier's other rules. This version is translated from the Norwegian terms and conditions, and the Norwegian version will always take precedence.
Article 3: Tickets 3.1 General a) The ticket constitutes proof that a contract has been concluded between the Carrier and the passenger whose name is stated on the ticket. If no ticket has been issued, the seat reservation and consequent payment will constitute proof that a contract has been concluded. In these circumstances, the General Conditions of Carriage will apply. b) Passenger's right to carriage Carriage on a flight will only be accepted for persons who have been issued a ticket or whose seat reservation has been accepted pursuant to the rules specified in Article 6. The Carrier will only provide carriage to the person whose name is stated on the ticket. Passengers must present valid identification on demand and are responsible for obtaining all the requisite travel documents, including visas and passports if required, and for complying with all laws, regulations and other provisions of government authorities related to travel in the countries the passengers are flying from and to, and through which they will transit. The Carrier will not be liable for any consequences passengers may incur due to their failure to obtain such requisite documents or failure to obey such laws, regulations, requirements or orders. Norwegian reserves the right to turn away passengers who cannot present valid identification or the requisite travel documents, e.g. passport or visa, on demand. Passengers travelling with a child under two years of age must, unsolicited, present a birth certificate for the child. If a birth certificate cannot be presented on demand, the Carrier may refuse carriage. Up-to-date information about passport and visa requirements will always be available on the website. c) Ticket transfer/changes The name, route and destination can be changed on a ticket in return for the applicable fee and any difference in fare. If a ticket is presented by a person other than the person whose name is stated on the ticket or seat reservation, and the Carrier knowingly undertakes the carriage, the Carrier may not be held liable in relation to the passenger whose name is stated on the ticket or seat reservation. d) Non-issue of ticket If the Carrier chooses not to issue a ticket, these conditions will apply to the passenger whose name is stated on the seat reservation. 3.3 Validity
A ticket or seat reservation is only valid if it corresponds with a confirmation issued pursuant to the Carrier s rules, as described in clause 6.1, or in documentation issued as confirmation via an electronic letter. Article 4: Voluntary disembarkations The Carrier may give passengers permission to disembark from the aircraft at agreed stopping places, if local authorities and the Carrier s general conditions so permit. Article 5: Ticket fares and taxes 5.1 General Ticket fares will only apply to carriage between the place of departure and the place of destination, unless specially stated to the contrary. Fares do not include ground transport between airports or between airports and ground terminals. Ticket prices are calculated according to the applicable fares on the day the ticket is purchased for a journey on a particular day and according to a particular itinerary. Changes to itineraries or travel dates may result in changes to ticket fares. 5.2 Valid prices The valid fares are those that apply at the time a reservation is made. Fares may vary due to the number of seats still available in any given fare category, and the Carrier does not guarantee that fares will be available in all categories. 5.3 Taxes and charges The applicable taxes and charges imposed by government authorities or airport authorities must be paid by the passenger. When a passenger books a ticket, information will be provided about the taxes and charges included in the ticket fare. The taxes and charges imposed on air travel vary from time to time, and may therefore be imposed after a ticket has been booked and/or issued. In these circumstances, the passenger must pay any increase in fare that has occurred between the day he/she booked and/or purchased the ticket and the day of departure. If such taxes or charges are abolished or reduced so that they no longer apply to the passenger s journey on the day of departure, passengers may claim reimbursement by contacting the Carrier. 5.4 Currency Ticket fares and taxes must be paid in the currency stated by the Carrier at the time the reservation is made. Article 6: Seat reservations 6.1 Conditions of reservation The passenger hereby accepts that the personal data the Carrier has received has been provided for the purposes of making a seat reservation, buying a ticket, providing ancillary services such as hotel bookings and car rental, facilitating special arrangements and facilities for disabled passengers and other passengers with special wishes/requirements, ordering special meals, simplifying routines in relation to immigration and arrival procedures, and furnishing such data to government authorities in connection with the flight. For these purposes the passenger accepts
that the Carrier may retain and use such data and that the Carrier may transfer these to its own offices, authorised agents, government authorities, other carriers and others who provide such services. The passenger's personal data will not be used for marketing purposes unless the passenger has consented to this in advance. a) Seat reservations are confirmed and will be regarded as having been confirmed once payment has been received. All low fare tickets must be paid for upon booking and cannot be refunded. We charge for our tickets per person per route, and specify all additional products and charges as separate transactions. Full flex tickets are charged for upon departure. b) The Carrier s ticket fares are based on a system of regulations that dictate whether or not the passenger has a right to change or cancel the seat reservation. These ticket fares and this system of regulations are fixed at the time of seat reservation, and the passenger will be notified of restrictions or charges in relation to changes or cancelling the ticket at that time. 6.3 Placement of seats Everyone who books a flight with Norwegian can reserve a seat. In special circumstances we may have to change the passenger's seat, even if it has been reserved in advance. Passengers without a reserved seat with be shown to other available seats in the aircraft. 6.4 Cancellation of ticket All unused low fare tickets become inactive and cannot be refunded, with the exception of taxes/charges imposed by government authorities, which the customer can have reimbursed by the Carrier. The Carrier's tickets which are sold as full flex, will not be charged for if the flight is not used. Article 7: Check-in and boarding 7.1 Check-in deadlines The Carrier reserves the right to cancel the seat reservation if passengers do not comply with the stipulated deadlines and requirements for check-in. Check-in deadlines may be found on the Carrier s website and are available by contacting the Carrier or its authorised agents. The Carrier is not liable for any loss and expense passengers incur due to their failure to comply with the provisions of this clause. 7.2 Boarding deadlines If passengers do not present themselves at the Carrier s boarding desk by the deadlines stipulated by the Carrier, their seat reservation will be cancelled. The flight will under no circumstances be held, and passengers will be denied boarding at their own expense.
Boarding deadlines may be found on the Carrier s website and are available by contacting the Carrier or its authorised agents. The Carrier is not liable for any loss and expense passengers incur due to their failure to comply with the provisions of this clause. Article 8: Refusal and limitation of carriage 8.1 Right to refuse carriage The Carrier may, by exercise of reasonable discretion, refuse to carry passengers and baggage, providing the Carrier has informed the passenger in writing that the Carrier, following such notice, will refuse to carry the passenger on its flights. The Carrier may also refuse to carry passengers or baggage if one or more of the following has occurred or the Carrier has reason to believe it may occur: a) such measures are necessary to comply with given laws, regulations or other provisions issued by government authorities, b) carriage of the passenger or his/her baggage may endanger the safety and health of other passengers and/or the crew, c) carriage of the passenger or his/her baggage may be an inconvenience or an annoyance to the other passengers and/or crew, d) the passenger s behaviour, age, mental or physical health, including being under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, may constitute a risk to the passenger or to other passengers, crew or aircraft, or demand special assistance from the Carrier which it is not in position to provide, e) the passenger has behaved reprehensibly during previous flights and the Carrier has reason to believe that such reprehensible behaviour may be repeated, f) the passenger has refused to submit to a security check, g) the passenger has not paid the applicable ticket fare, taxes or other charges, h) it appears that the passenger lacks valid travel documents, or intends to destroy these during the flight, or refuses to present travel documents to the crew on demand, i) the passenger presents a ticket or seat reservation which has been obtained unlawfully or has been purchased from a source other than the Carrier or its authorised agents, or which has been reported lost or stolen, is a forgery, or the passenger cannot prove his or her identity in relation to the name on the ticket or seat reservation, j) the passenger neglects to follow the Carrier s safety instructions,
k) the passenger has previously committed one of the acts or omissions described above. In the circumstances described above, a written warning is not required, and the Carrier will cancel the seat reservation with no liability to refund the ticket or for other expenses. 8.2 The carriage of children travelling alone, or passengers with special requirements, may be accepted on the condition that approval has been received from the Carrier. The carriage of children travelling alone may be refused if the Carrier, at the time of departure, is unable to guarantee that the child will reach the place of destination at the stipulated time. The carriage of passengers who require special assistance will take place in accordance with the Carrier s applicable guidelines for such carriage.

In general, no weapons and ammunition, other than sporting and hunting weapons, are acceptable as checked baggage. Weapons must in all cases be unloaded and made safe, and otherwise properly packed, and the bolt/forend must be sent separately from the rest of the weapon. The carriage of ammunition is subject to the regulations of the ICAO and IATA regarding dangerous goods. Exceptions may occur for special agreements.

If the passenger cannot be present during the inspection of the baggage, the Carrier may, for security/safety reasons, inspect the baggage in order to satisfy itself that the passenger has not brought any of the objects described in clause 9.1 that have not been approved by the Carrier pursuant to clause 9.1. Should a passenger refuse to comply with such a request, the Carrier may refuse carriage of the passenger and baggage. 9.4 Checked baggage a) When the baggage has been presented to the Carrier for check-in, the Carrier will take charge of the baggage and issue a baggage identification tag for each piece of baggage. b) The passenger is obliged to attach a label that includes as a minimum the passenger's name and address. c) Checked baggage will be carried on the same aircraft as the passenger. d) Exception: If parts or all the baggage that a passenger wants to check-in cannot be accepted due to the aircraft s cargo capacity, the Carrier may decide to let said

The maximum weight per piece of baggage is 20 kg. Fee rates may be obtained on demand from the Carrier, from the Carrier s website or from one of the Carrier s authorised agents. 9.6 Excess and oversized baggage All baggage other than suitcases/bags/rucksacks will be regarded as oversized baggage. If a passenger is going to travel with a bicycle, large musical instrument or surfboard, this must be booked via our call centre no later than 48 hours prior to departure. All passengers travelling with oversized baggage must have completed check-in formalities one hour prior to departure. If a piece of baggage weighs more than 20 kg, the extra kilos will be charged for as excess baggage. If a passenger has more than two pieces of baggage, regardless of weight, the excess baggage will be charged for as excess baggage. Fee rates for excess and oversized baggage may be obtained on demand from the Carrier, from the Carrier s website or from one of the Carrier s authorised agents. 9.6 Hand baggage a) Baggage that is taken onboard as hand baggage must be of a size and/or weight that means it can be stowed in a closed baggage locker in the cabin, or under the seat in front of the passenger. Objects the Carrier considers to be of a size and/or weight that means that this is not possible will not be accepted in the cabin, and must be sent as checked baggage. Before this is done, the passenger will be given an opportunity to remove the objects described in clause 9.1, third paragraph. b) Objects that cannot be carried in the aircraft s cargo hold (such as fragile musical instruments, lung dialysis machines and so on) may be accepted in the cabin if the Carrier has been made aware of this in advance, and has given permission. 9.8 Retrieval of checked baggage a) Passengers must retrieve their checked baggage as soon as it is available at the place of destination or stopping place.

Article 10: Timetables and cancellations 10.1. Timetables The Carrier will do its best to carry passengers and baggage in the most expedient manner. The Carrier will also do its best to adhere to the published timetable for the day of carriage. Times indicated in timetables or elsewhere are not guaranteed and may change between when the timetable is published and the date the passenger wishes to travel. Norwegian reserves the right to make timetable changes. The customer will be notified of all changes to travel times via the email address registered during the booking or telephone number registered against the reservation. 10.2. Cancellations, timetable changes, delays, etc The Carrier may, at any time after the booking has been made, change the timetable or cancel, change, re-route or delay a flight if this is warranted for reasons beyond the control of the Carrier, or for safety/security reasons. In such circumstances, the following conditions will apply: a) In the case of cancellations the Carrier will refund sums pursuant to the conditions in Article 11.
b) In the case of re-routing to airports other than those in the passenger's itinerary, the Carrier will, at its own expense, ensure the passenger is carried to the agreed destination in Norwegian's route network. The Carrier is not liable for onward connections, unless the Carrier is liable due to the delay. c) In the case of delays, our general guidelines for delays will be followed (described in our flight information). Please also refer to clause 15.4 and Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004. 10.3. If the delay lasts more than five hours, the customer can choose to have his or her ticket refunded for the affected route, when he or she chooses not to use the ticket. If the passenger's loss due to the delay amounts to a sum larger than the refunded ticket fare, or the passenger has not received such a refund, Norwegian is only liable if Norwegian and its partners have not taken all necessary precautions to avoid the delay, or that this has not be possible for Norwegian. In the case of losses due to the delayed carriage of persons, liability is limited to 4,694 SDRs. If the weight of the baggage is not stated on the receipts, it will be assumed that the total weight does not exceed the permitted weight limit. 10.4 Occasionally, the Carrier must change the departure time after issuing a ticket. If the passenger provides contact information, Norwegian will try to inform the passenger of such changes. If Norwegian, after the passenger has purchased the ticket, significantly changes the departure time, and the passenger cannot accept this and Norwegian does not manage to obtain a seat on an alternative flight the passenger accepts, the passenger is entitled to a refund in accordance with Article 11. In addition to this, the provisions in clause 10.3 and clause 15.4 will apply. 10.5. Should some of the circumstances mentioned in clauses 10.2 a), b) and c) occur, except if otherwise is stipulated in current legislation, the options mentioned in Article 10 will be the only remedies available to passengers and Norwegian will have no further liability to the passenger. 10.6 Overbooking The Carrier will provide compensation for involuntary denied boarding pursuant to current legislation. Compensation for voluntary denied boarding will be paid pursuant to the conditions agreed between the affected passengers and the carrying Carrier, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004. Further information on this subject can be obtained by contacting the Carrier s ticket offices or authorised agents. Article 11: Refunds 11.1 General If the Carrier does not succeed in carrying the passenger, the ticket will be refunded by the Carrier pursuant to this Article and its rules.
All claims for refunds must be submitted via the refund form on Norwegian's website or by mail to Norwegian's head office. A ticket is only refundable if it accords with a confirmed ticket reservation and the passenger has a ticket that, pursuant to the Carrier s rules at the time of issue, is deemed refundable, and the Carrier has received payment. 11.2 Recipient of refund a) Unless otherwise stated, the Carrier will refund sums by crediting the payment card registered as the means of payment for the booking. b) If a ticket has been paid by someone other than the person named on the ticket as the passenger, the Carrier will only refund sums to the person who paid for the ticket, or in accordance with authorisation from said person. c) A refund made to a person who can show an unused ticket or has an unused seat reservation, or who presents himself or herself as the person entitled to a refund pursuant to paragraphs a) or b), will be deemed to be a full and complete refund and the Carrier will be without liability in relation to further refund claims. 11.3 Refunds due to cancellations If the Carrier cancels a flight, the sum refunded will be: a) if no part of the ticket has been used, a sum equalling the ticket fare, including specific fees for additional products such as baggage and seating for which the customer has paid extra. b) if part of the ticket has been used, a sum corresponding to the unused part of the journey. 11.4 Refunds If the passenger is entitled to a refund for reasons other than those stated in clause 11.3, the sum refunded will be as follows: a) if no part of the ticket has been used, the sum refunded will be the same as the ticket fare less any administration costs and cancellation fees. b) if part of the ticket has been used, the sum refunded will be equal to the difference between the ticket fare and the applicable fare for travel between the airports where the ticket has been used, less any administration costs and cancellation fees. 11.5 Refunds of taxes/charges due to cancellations No refunds will be paid for discounted tickets. However, public taxes and charges for unused flights can be refunded by writing to Norwegian. An administration fee will be deducted for the transaction.

Article 15: Liability for damage 15.1 General The Carrier s conditions of liability are as follows: 15.1.1 The Carrier will only be liable for damage that occurs on the Carrier's own routes operated by the Carrier itself. In those cases where the Carrier is named on the ticket
as a chartering company, but another carrier is performing the actual flight, the passenger can choose which carrier to hold liable. 15.1.2 The Carrier's liability may, pursuant to the applicable regulations, be reduced or lapse in the event of any negligence on the part of the passenger that caused or contributed to the damage. 15.1.3 The Carrier is not liable for damage arising from the Carrier's compliance with applicable laws or government rules and regulations, or from the passenger's failure to comply with these. 15.1.4 The Carrier's liability is limited to documented financial losses, and the Carrier will under no circumstances be liable for consequential losses. 15.1.5 If the advanced age or mental or physical health of a passenger is such that it constitutes a danger and/or a risk to the passenger during the flight, the Carrier shall not be liable for the passenger s illness, personal injury, disability or death, should such personal injury, disability or death be attributable to said condition. Should the passenger s health deteriorate onboard, the Carrier shall similarly have no liability for this. Should the Carrier incur costs due to a necessary stop to convey said passenger to a hospital, the Carrier reserves the right to hold the passenger liable for the reimbursement of all the costs and expenses the Carrier may have incurred in connection with this. 15.1.6 The limitations regarding the Carrier s liability apply to its authorised agents, employees and representatives to the same extent as they apply to the Carrier. The total sum that can be demanded from the Carrier and from such authorised agents, employees and representatives may not exceed the Carrier s total liability, if the Carrier has such liability. 15.1.7 Unless expressly stated, none of what is contained in these General Conditions of Carriage shall be construed to mean that the Carrier waives any exception or limitation in its liability pursuant to applicable laws, conventions or agreements. 15.2 Liability for damage to baggage 15.1.2 The Carrier assumes no liability for damage caused to hand baggage, unless this is due to negligence on the part of the Carrier. 15.2.2 The Carrier s liability for damage to or loss of baggage only applies to checked baggage.

The ordinary packing conditions apply. 15.2.3 The Carrier will not be liable for any damage the passenger's baggage may cause to persons or other parties property, including that of the Carrier. All passengers will be personally liable for any damage caused to persons, other parties' property, including the Carrier s property, due to the passenger s baggage, and must cover all losses incurred by the Carrier due to this. 15.2.4 The Carrier will bear no liability for damage caused by objects which it is prohibited to carry in checked baggage, see clause 9.1.
