● Additional services

The airline can offer extra services at the time of purchasing the tickets, such as insurance, car rental, assistance; but you will not be able to make charges that condition the purchase of the ticket to the mandatory contracting of said services.

● Oversold

In case that tickets have been issued more than the available capacity of the aircraft, the passenger will have the option to choose the benefits that apply in case of cancellation.

Passengers with disabilities can transport wheelchairs, crutches, among others, as long as they are for their personal use and directly associated with their disability.
