Legal validity of the terms and obligations contained in the flight ticket

The ticket slip as the passenger's identity authentication document and his/her passage permit is a proof of his/her previous verbal or written contractual relationship with the transport operator. In this article, while explaining the legal nature of the ticket in domestic law and international documents, the validity of the terms and obligations included in it, which are often against the passenger, have been explained. As a result, the obligations contained in the ticket are mandatory for the passenger to the extent that it can be verified as a legal obligation, but because the ticket is not recognized as a contract in the relevant domestic laws and international conventions, therefore the conditions and obligations contained in the ticket are not recognized as a contract. In it, there is no effect against the passenger, and his action in accepting and taking possession of the ticket is not considered acceptance. The legal procedure of our country also supports the same opinion in order to protect the traveler.
