Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 28229, member: 2262"] Yes, the Warsaw Convention rules apply to flights inside Zimbabwe. Back in 1934, Zimbabwe made the international rules part of local law through the Carriage by Air Act. The government updated this law several times but kept the core rules the same. Most countries only use these rules for international flights crossing borders, but Zimbabwe decided differently. Zimbabwe extended these international flight rules to cover all domestic travel within the country. When you hop on a plane flying from Harare to Victoria Falls, these same protections follow you. The law treats your luggage and personal safety under international standards even when your plane never leaves Zimbabwean airspace. This approach gives travelers consistent rights regardless of destination. Airlines must follow these rules whether they charge money or offer free flights as part of their business. The only exception involves mail and postal packages, which fall under different regulations entirely. Local airlines cannot create their special conditions trying to avoid these international standards. Their attempts to limit passenger rights through fine print simply would not stand up in court. Every airline operating in Zimbabwe must respect these standards. This applies equally to budget carriers, premium airlines, and even charter flights booked for private groups. When something happens to your bags or if flights face problems, you have strong legal protection. The same worldwide standards that guard international travelers protect you on short domestic flights throughout Zimbabwe. [/QUOTE]
