See also notices headed "Advice to International Users on Limitation of Liability" and "Notice of Baggage Liability Limitations".
• As used in this contract "ticket" means this user ticket and baggage check, or this itinerary/receipt if applicable, in the case of an electronic ticket, of which these conditions and the notices form part, "carriage" is equivalent to transportation", "SAA or its partners" means all air SAA or its partners that carry or undertake to carry the user or his baggage hereunder or perform any other service incidental to such air carriage, "electronic ticket" means the Itinerary/Receipt issued by or on behalf of SAA or its partners, the Electronic Coupons and, if applicable, a boarding document. "WARSAW CONVENTION" means the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air signed at Warsaw, 12th October 1929, or that Convention as amended at The Hague, 28th September 1955, whichever may be applicable.
• Carriage hereunder is subject to the rules and limitations relating to liability established by the Warsaw Convention unless such carriage is not "international carriage" as defined by that Convention.
• provisions contained in the ticket;
• applicable tariffs;
• SAA or its partner's conditions of carriage and related regulations which are made part hereof (and are available on application at the offices of SAA or its partners), except in transportation between a place in the United States or Canada and any place outside thereof to which tariffs in force in those countries apply.
• SAA or its partner's name may be abbreviated in the ticket, the full name and its abbreviation being set forth in SAA or its partner's tariffs, conditions of carriage, regulations or timetables; SAA or its partner's address shall be the airport of departure shown opposite the first abbreviation of SAA or its partner's name in the ticket; the agreed stopping places are those places set forth in this ticket or as shown in SAA or its partner's timetables as scheduled stopping places on the user's route; carriage to be performed hereunder by several successive SAA or its partner is regarded as a single operation.
• An air SAA or its partners issuing a ticket for carriage over the lines of another air SAA or its partners does so only as its Agent.
• Any exclusion or limitation of liability of SAA or its partners shall apply to and be for the benefit of agents, servants and representatives of SAA or its partners and any person whose aircraft is used by SAA or its partners for carriage and its agents, servants and representatives.
• Checked baggage will be delivered to bearer of the baggage check. In case of damage to baggage moving in international transportation complaint must be made in writing to SAA or its partners forthwith after discovery of damage and, at least, within seven days from receipt; in case of delay, complaint must be made within 21 days from date the baggage was delivered. See tariffs or conditions of carriage regarding non-international transportation.
• This ticket is good for carriage for one year from date of issue, except as otherwise provided in this ticket, in SAA or its partner's tariffs', conditions of carriage, or related regulations. The fare for carriage hereunder is subject to change prior to commencement of carriage. SAA or its partners may refuse transportation if the applicable fare has not been paid.
• SAA or its partners undertakes to use its best efforts to carry the user and baggage with reasonable dispatch. Times shown in timetables or elsewhere are not guaranteed and form no part of this contract. SAA or its partners may without notice substitute alternate SAA or its partner or aircraft, and may alter or omit stopping places shown on the ticket in case of necessity. Schedules are subject to change without notice. SAA or its partners assumes no responsibility for making connections.
• Users shall comply with Government travel requirements, present exit, entry and other required documents and arrive at airport by time fixed by SAA or its partners or, if no time is fixed, early enough to complete departure procedures.
• No agent, servant or representative of SAA or its partners has authority to alter, modify or waive any provision of this contract.
• SAA OR ITS PARTNERS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE CARRIAGE TO ANY PERSON WHO HAS ACQUIRED A TICKET IN VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW OR SAA OR ITS PARTNER'S TARIFFS, RULES OR REGULATIONS.
• If your journey involves a destination or stop in a country other than the one from which you depart, the Warsaw Convention may govern the liability of all airlines involved in your journey, including any portion thereof within a single country. This Convention limits the liability of airlines for death or personal injury and for baggage loss or damage. Many air SAA or its partners have waived the Warsaw Convention limits for personal injury or death and the defence that they have taken all necessary measures to avoid the damage for the first 100,000 Special Drawing Rights of any such claim.
• In addition, in cases of death or bodily injury many air SAA or its partners will make advance payments to the person entitled to compensation, if required to meet immediate economic needs, in proportion to the hardship suffered. In accordance with EC Council Regulation No. 2027/97 ("the Regulation"). Community air SAA or its partners as defined in the Regulation make such payments to the person entitled to compensation. Other air SAA or its partners may apply alternate provisions.
• Consequently, you should inform yourself of the conditions applicable to your journey. The Conditions of Carriage of each airline involved in your journey, including its liability limits, are available from that airline.
• NOTICE OF BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS Liability for loss, delay, or damage to baggage is limited unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. For most international travel (including domestic portions of international journeys) the liability limit is approximately US Dollars 9,07 per pound (US Dollars 20 per kilogram) for checked baggage and US Dollars 400 per user for unchecked baggage. For travel wholly between US points, Federal rules require any limit on an airline's baggage liability to be at least US Dollars 1250 per user. Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles. Some SAA or its partners assume no liability for fragile, valuable or perishable articles. Further information may be obtained from the SAA or its partners.
• DENIED BOARDING BY OVERBOOKING In those countries where Denied Boarding Compensation regulations are in force, SAA or its partners operate compensation plans for users with confirmed reservations who are denied boarding because of non-availability of seats caused by overbooking. Details of these plans are available at the airline's offices.
• NOTICE OF GOVERNMENT IMPOSED TAXES AND FEES The price of a ticket may include taxes and fees, which are imposed on air transportation by government authorities. These taxes and fees, which may represent a significant portion of the cost of air travel, are either included in the fare, or shown separately in the 'TAX' box(es) of this ticket. You may also be required to pay taxes or fees not already collected.
• IMPORTANCE NOTICE: RECONFIRMATION OF INTERNATIONAL JOURNEYS If you break your journey for more than 72 hours at any point, please reconfirm your intention of using your continuing or return reservation. (This is not required by all airlines). To do so, please inform the airline office at the point where you intend to resume your journey at least 72 hours before departure of your flight. Failure to reconfirm will result in the cancellation of your reservation(s). If your journey is wholly within Europe this notice does not apply to you.
• DEPARTURE INFORMATION The time shown on the flight coupon is the departure time of the aircraft. However, to ensure on-time departure you must plan to arrive at the airport and report to the check-in counter in good time before the departure time. Flights cannot be held for users arriving late and not responsibility can be accepted in such cases. Therefore, it is in your own interest to check with the SAA or its partners on transport facilities and the minimum time required for check-in. SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS is the actual SAA or its partners only when "SA" is entered in the "SAA or its partners" box of the flight coupon(s). Any other abbreviation in that box denotes another SAA or its partners.

Advance Seat Reservation – Terms and Conditions Collapsed Content

  Advance Seat Reservation – Terms and Conditions

Advance Seat Reservation (ASR) is only available on flights operated by South African Airways (SAA) and 083 validated ticket stock with the following seating options: standard seat, extra legroom and emergency exit row seats.

 Seat Selection is subject to the availability of requested seats and is available on a per sector basis only. Price is per seat, per sector.

 Passengers who do not wish to purchase ASR can choose their seats free of charge (except exit row seats) when they check‐in online 24 hours prior to departure, or at the airport, subject to availability.

 Seat Selection does not necessarily include all passengers in a booking unless expressly selected. Accordingly, SAA cannot guarantee that all parties in a booking will be seated together. Individual passengers in a single booking may request different types of seats e.g. standard seat and Exit Row Seat. The applicable seat charges will apply to each seat type.

 Unaccompanied minors are exempt from the ASR charge and a seat will be allocated to them free of charge.

 Passengers who wish to sit next to each other, but have made separate bookings, will need to request their individual seats independently. SAA is not able to advise on the seat selection of passengers on other bookings. SAA is, furthermore, unable to link separate bookings. Accordingly, if you have paid to sit next to other passengers in a different booking, SAA will not be able to seat you back together with the passengers you were originally seated with.

 Passengers who have specific needs should directly contact the SAA Contact Centre (or their travel agent) to allow SAA to assist with the allocation of an appropriate seat.

 Seat requests cannot be guaranteed as they may need to be changed for operational, safety or security reasons, even after boarding the aircraft.

 Seat selection is not transferable to another passenger.

 Seat selection is non-refundable unless:

o SAA changes the passenger seat for operational, safety or security reasons (even after boarding the aircraft), and SAA is unable to seat the passenger in a suitable alternative.

o There is a flight disruption causing the passenger to be moved to another flight and SAA is unable to seat the passenger in a suitable alternative on your new flight.

o SAA moves the passenger to a flight not operated by SAA.

o SAA moves the passenger to a seat in a higher cabin, either for operational reasons or as a goodwill gesture.

 If SAA changes the passenger’s seat for operational, safety or security reasons or if the passenger is affected by a flight disruption, the affected passenger may apply for a refund after departure by contacting SAA’s Reservation’s Call Centre or emailing the request to [email protected] . Refund requests must be lodged no later than 3 months after the affected flight.

o Once a passenger has selected and paid for a specific seat, passenger may select a different seat in the same flight and cabin of equal value to the original seat purchased.

o If a passenger chooses to change flights, they may select a seat of equal value of the new flight with the same routing. If the seat of equal value is not available, the value is non-refundable.

o Once a passenger has selected and paid for a specific seat, they cannot move to an available seat of higher value within the same cabin (for example an Extra Legroom Seat).

o If the passenger elects to pay to move to a higher cabin or booking class where seat selection is free, they are entitled to apply for a refund, if seat selection was purchased.

Additional Requirements and Conditions for Exit Row Seats.

In order to sit in the Emergency Exit Row Seat, passengers shall comply with all legal and safety standards:

 Passengers must be at least 16 years or older at the time of flying and acknowledge the exit row briefing given by cabin crew once on board the aircraft.

 Passengers must be willing to assist in the unlikely event of an emergency and be able to speak and understand English and carry out instructions. In the event of an emergency, passengers have to be able to check outside conditions and react to cabin crew commands and be able to reach, open, lift and throw out an exit door that weighs up to 27kg (60lbs).

 Passengers cannot sit in the emergency exit row if they have any permanent or temporary impairment, for example, deaf, hearing impaired, blind, vision-impaired, any strength or mobility limitation, intellectual impairment or be travelling with a service dog

 Passengers travelling with someone who needs their assistance in an emergency or passengers who are seated with an infant or passengers who require an extension seat belt, will not be eligible to be seated in an Exit Row Seat.

 SAA has the sole discretion, at check-in or boarding, to determine whether a passenger meets the requirements to sit in an Exit Row Seat. If the passenger does not meet the requirements, they will be assigned a different seat.

Conditions:

 A boarding pass for an exit row seat will only be issued once a SAA staff member confirms all safety criteria are met as outlined in our terms and conditions.

 If a SAA staff member confirms that the passenger does not meet any of the required safety criteria, SAA may re-assign the passenger to a regular economy seat before or during the journey without refund of the Exit Row Seat reservation fees. These important safety requirements mean that notwithstanding the fact that passengers will be able to use Web and Kiosk check-in, where there are identified issues on-board the aircraft, passengers may be moved if they do not meet the exit row seating criteria.

 If a passenger becomes unable to meet all physical and legal safety requirements to sit in an exit row seat they must give SAA 72 hours’ notice, further to which they will be moved to a standard seat and refunded the Exit Row Seat fee.

NASA's Voyager 1 resumes sending engineering updates to Earth

For the first time since November, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems. The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again. The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between stars).

Voyager 1 stopped sending readable science and engineering data back to Earth on Nov. 14, 2023, even though mission controllers could tell the spacecraft was still receiving their commands and otherwise operating normally. In March, the Voyager engineering team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California confirmed that the issue was tied to one of the spacecraft's three onboard computers, called the flight data subsystem (FDS). The FDS is responsible for packaging the science and engineering data before it's sent to Earth.

The team discovered that a single chip responsible for storing a portion of the FDS memory—including some of the FDS computer's software code—isn't working. The loss of that code rendered the science and engineering data unusable. Unable to repair the chip, the team decided to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. But no single location is large enough to hold the section of code in its entirety.

So they devised a plan to divide the affected code into sections and store those sections in different places in the FDS. To make this plan work, they also needed to adjust those code sections to ensure, for example, that they all still function as a whole. Any references to the location of that code in other parts of the FDS memory needed to be updated as well.

The team started by singling out the code responsible for packaging the spacecraft's engineering data. They sent it to its new location in the FDS memory on April 18. A radio signal takes about 22.5 hours to reach Voyager 1, which is over 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, and another 22.5 hours for a signal to come back to Earth. When the mission flight team heard back from the spacecraft on April 20, they saw that the modification had worked: For the first time in five months, they were able to check the health and status of the spacecraft.

During the coming weeks, the team will relocate and adjust the other affected portions of the FDS software. These include the portions that will start returning science data.

Voyager 2 continues to operate normally. Launched over 46 years ago, the twin Voyager spacecraft are the longest-running and most distant spacecraft in history. Before the start of their interstellar exploration, both probes flew by Saturn and Jupiter, and Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune.
