EastAfrican is committed to providing all our customers with excellent service‚ and we are constantly looking at ways in which we can improve this. These Carrier’s Regulations‚ which cover certain aspects of our booking‚ requirements for travel and customer service are designed to reflect this commitment‚ and in a number of respects to go over and above our strict legal obligations.

  1. Data protection
    EastAfrican is a registered company. It may use your personal information to process your flight booking and to notify you about the new EastAfrican services and special offers you may find valuable. Please see the full privacy policy on the web site or call for further details.

 

  1. Refunds and cancellation fees
    Conditions of Carriage Article 6.6
    Depending on the specific fare rules of the ticket‚ we are able to refund for cancellations within the same day of making the original booking except when booked on the day of departure. Please note a cancellation can only be processed up to 8 hours prior to the flight’s scheduled departure time. Refunds exclude taxes and charges but exclude any credit card fee and cancellation fee (per passenger). Tickets once issued are non refundable. Cancellation must be made via the reservations office +254 (0) 720607607 or via email reservations@EastAfrican.com Change of date is permitted up to 3 hours prior to departure at a cost depending on the fare paid.EastAfrican regrets that it is unable to offer refunds in the event of passengers being unable to fly owing to any change in personal circumstances‚ including but not limited to medical grounds‚ with the exception of the application of the cancellation policy.

In exceptional circumstances‚ however‚ EastAfrican will consider issuing a credit in the event of the bereavement of an immediate family member (mother‚ father‚ brother‚ sister or child) provided that the claim and a copy of the death certificate are submitted to the EastAfrican’s head office address.

All claims will be assessed entirely at the discretion of EastAfrican. This credit will be to the value of the original fare paid less an administration fee and credit card fee per passenger per journey and can be used against any future flights on EastAfrican within the following six month period.

Claims are dealt with up to the airline’s legal limit of liability and must be supported by appropriate evidence of loss or damage.

Conditions of Carriage Article 14.3
A Special Drawing Right is an international monetary unit (fixed by the International Monetary Fund)‚ the value of which fluctuates daily and can be found in the Financial Times’ guide to world currency. EastAfrican will not accept liability for valuable items which you are not permitted to include in your baggage (see “baggage” above). Also EastAfrican will not accept responsibility for the damage or loss of protruding parts such as wheels‚ straps‚ pull handles‚ or other items that are attached to baggage‚ or items lost as a result of badly packed baggage.

It is our policy that if your baggage is delayed for more than 24 hours on an outbound journey‚ you can spend up to $20 per day per person on essential items‚ for a maximum of three days. To claim this allowance‚ you must write to the company’s claims handling agents within 21 days of the relevant flight at the address provided to you by the EastAfrican handling agent at the airport where the delay was reported. All claims must be supported by documentary evidence of purchases made (e.g. receipts).

  1. Passengers with specific requirements – disability‚ medical and health
    Passengers with specific requirements are those whose mobility is reduced due to physical incapacity (sensory or locomotory)‚ intellectual deficiency‚ age‚ illness or any other cause of disability. EastAfrican is unable to accept those passengers with a level of disability which requires the presence of a care assistant unless a care assistant is travelling with the passenger. A maximum of two disabled passengers can travel with one care Assistant.EastAfrican is not able to accommodate immobile/lift-off passengers. This is because the aircraft we operate are not fitted with special equipment for these situations and as a result‚ our insurance does not provide cover against any issues that might arise through our employees physically carrying a passenger.EastAfrican can‚ however‚ arrange to assist passengers who can be escorted on a wheelchair up to the aircraft door as long as they are able to climb the staircase- and provided we are informed at the time of booking.

Passengers with specific requirements who book their seats over the telephone must advise EastAfrican of their requirements at the time of booking. Passengers purchasing seats over the Internet should select the type of assistance they require via the flight confirmation email (Specific needs and access requirements). The airline requires a minimum of 48 hours notice to arrange assistance. It may not be possible to honour requests received less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled time of departure of a flight‚ as the airline may not be able to accommodate your needs. This could result in passengers being unable to travel. However‚ where possible‚ EastAfrican will endeavour to provide passengers with assistance when boarding and disembarking flights.

Passengers with specific requirements will not be allowed to sit in emergency exit rows of the aircraft in case of an emergency evacuation of the aircraft.

Passengers travelling with vital medication and/or medical equipment are permitted to carry up to 10kgs of medication and/or equipment free of charge in addition to their standard hold baggage allowance. The total amount of baggage carried per passenger cannot exceed 50kgs maximum.

To classify as vital medication and/or medical equipment the passenger would require medical documentation from their doctor confirming that the passenger must carry this medication and/or equipment.

The medication/medical equipment must be carried separately from the passenger’s standard hold baggage to ensure ease of recognition at check-in.

Passengers with children are given priority boarding and unaccompanied minors between the ages of 6 and 17 are escorted by a friendly member of our staff.

    Passengers travelling with upper limbs in cast‚ waist and above‚ will only require one seat to travel.Adult passengers travelling with lower limbs in cast‚ waist and/or full leg plaster‚ must purchase three seats in total‚ per journey‚ to travel. This will enable the leg to be elevated during the flight and reduce swelling.

Passengers travelling with lower leg in plaster‚ below the knee only‚ will only require one seat.

Child passengers travelling with lower limbs in cast are to be dealt with as above but the length of the cast will need to be determined to decide whether they would require one‚ two or three seats to enable their leg to be elevated during the flight.

Passengers travelling with a plaster cast that has been fitted for less than 48 hours then the cast needs to be split (the split need to run along the entire length of the cast) If the plaster cast been fitted for more than 48 hours there is no requirement for the cast to be split.
