Before air travel.
Every journey begins with the booking and purchasing air tickets. Plan for quiet flight schedules, because if you make any changes after the purchase, may be restricted from the company.

If there is or can not access it, complain to the company, for receiving the contract of carriage is a right of the passenger.
