3.4.2 遗失客票的报失
3.4.2.1 旅客的纸质客票全部或部分遗失或残损,或旅客出示的客票未能包括旅客联和所有未使用的乘机联,旅客应以书面形式在客票有效期内向川航或其授权代理人申请挂失,并填写《遗失票证报失申请书》。遗失的团体客票的挂失手续必须在停止办理乘机手续前办理。包机客票不能办理遗失客票。

3.5.2 客票的乘机联必须按照客票所列明的航程顺序使用,不得颠倒使用,且航程的第一航段必须首先使用,否则川航不予接受承运。若运价对乘机联使用顺序有特别规定(例如要求客票必须按顺序依次使用),则必须遵守。航程的第一航段,是指以一张客票或多张连续客票销售的同一运输合同的第一航段。除票价另有规定外,未使用的乘机联在客票开始旅行之日起(客票第一航段未使用的,从填开之日起)十三个月内,可接受退款申请。办理退票时,需根据原客票的退票规则,扣除实际旅行航段所构成的新航程的适用票价,收取相应的退票费用(含退票费和误机费),余额退还旅客。未发生航段的税费一并退还。
3.5.3 如果旅客要改变运输合同的任何一项内容,应当事先与川航联系。运输合同一经改变,将按新的运输合同重新计算票价。旅客可自行选择接受新票价还是维持客票上原来的运输。如果因为不可抗力,旅客需要改变运输的任何一项内容,应当尽早与川航联系,川航将在合理的范围内尽力将旅客运送至下一个中途分程地点或者最终目的地点。
3.5.4 某些运输内容的变更将导致票价的提高,如出发地点的变更或旅行方向的变更;很多票价仅对客票上载明的特定日期的航班有效,并且不得变更,或者是在支付相应的费用后方可变更。
3.5.5 定期客票只适用于客票上列明的乘机日期和航班。
3.5.6 不定期客票或者含有不定期航段的客票,是指旅客在购票时根据自身需求和运价产品规则,允许整张客票或某一航段的定座状态为OPEN。根据航线运价产品的规则,该客票的承运人、航班号、日期、定座状态中的一项或多项在购买时均可为OPEN状态,但在实际承运前必须确认方可接收运输。
3.5.7 旅客客票上的每一张乘机联应当列明舱位等级、乘机日期、航班,且在定妥座位后方可用于运输。
3.5.8 如果旅客出具的客票是不定期的,旅客可根据川航的运价通告和航班座位可利用情况申请定座。此类客票在客票使用条件和运输合同允许的范围
x,在实际承运前,首次免费确认客票上未定妥的事项可以免去变更费用(即变更手续费),只需补收定妥座位时新航程与原OPEN客票的运价差额。
确认之后再次变更或确认未定妥事项时造成原客票已定妥内容的改变,均须按照运价使用条件的要求重新计算全航程票价并收取因此带来的票款差额和相应的变更费用。
3.5.9 如果旅客不搭乘已定妥座位的航班,且未预先通知川航,川航可以取消旅客客票上列明的续程或回程航班定座。
3.6 在客票上,川航的名称被缩写为四川航空股份有限公司代“3U”。
3.7 超 售
按照国际航空运输行业通行的做法,川航可能在某些航班上进行适当的超售。在个别超售情况下可能会有个别旅客不能按原定航班成行。需要拉下旅客时,川航会寻找自愿下机者并根据优先登机规定办理。对于因航班超售未能如期成行的旅客,川航将尽力将其安排到后续最早航班上以使旅客成行,并视具体情况按照川航赔偿标准给予一定的补偿。
4 票价和费用
4.1 票价的适用
4.1.1 客票价只适用于旅客由出发地机场至目的地机场的航空运输,不包括同一城市的机场与机场之间或机场与市区之间的地面运输费用和各项附加费。

4.1.3 客票售出后,如票价调整,票款不作变动。如果由于旅客原因提出变更航程或者旅行日期等运输内容,将可能影响其应支付的票价。

政府和其他有关当局或机场经营人,因向旅客提供服务设施而按规定征收的税款或收取的费用,均不包括在适用票价之内。该项税款或费用,应由旅客
支付,由航空公司代为收取。
旅客购买机票时,承运人将告知旅客未包括在票价中的税款和费用,税费会在客票上分别列明。对航空旅行征收的税款或费用常有变动,而且有可能在客票售出以后征收。如果客票上列明适用的税费有所增加或在客票售出后新增税费,旅客有义务补交。同样,如果旅客在购买机票时支付的税费因被取消或减少而不再适用于旅客,旅客有权申请退款,航空公司将根据政府相关部门规则进行退还。
“旅客运输燃油附加费和航空保险附加费”由承运人根据国家或地区有关规定自主定义发布并收取。使用婴儿运价的不占座婴儿免燃油附加费,占座婴儿和儿童按成人标准收取燃油附加费。
4.4 付款方式
