The contracting states to the Warsaw convention seek to reduce and eliminate problems of conflict of laws by agreeing to adopt uniform rules in their internal laws governing the international carriage of persons, baggage, or cargo by aircraft.
The convention lays down detailed rules on the issuance and contents of the appropriate documents of carriage (passenger ticket, baggage check, and air waybill) and enforces them with the penalty of absolute and unlimited liability.
The borrowings from Celtic into Latin, which derive mainly from the period before the expansion of Roman power, belong to a few restricted categories, such as war (lancea "lance"), transport (carrus "baggage wagon" and carpentum "light carriage"), and agricultural products (cervesia "beer").
Problems of liability arising from the international carriage of passengers, baggage, and cargo by aircraft are dealt with by the widely accepted Warsaw Convention on International Carriage by Air, which was concluded in 1929, amended in 1955 by the Hague Protocol, supplemented in 1961 by the Guadalajara Convention, and further amended in 1971 by the Guatemala City Protocol.
Its mission is to create a uniform legal framework for the carriage of passengers, baggage and goods within the member states (http://www.otif.org/index.php L=2).
All travel on BA flights is subject to BA's general conditions of carriage for passengers and baggage (see ba.com) and the notice and conditions of contract contained on each ticket or itinerary.
But passengers still try to evacuate with their baggage, ignore rules for the packing and carriage of lithium batteries and other dangerous goods, take selfies during evacuations, and disregard instructions of how to put on oxygen masks that are printed on the oxygen masks themselves.
In the event a passenger is injured or dies, or baggage or cargo is damaged or lost during "international" carriage, the convention makes the carrier prima facie liable.
Reducing the distance between baggage hubs and the train stations reduces the pre-carriage travel costs.
Accommodations were ordinary: a wooden carriage, painted green, with two toilets and a baggage room.
