total trip-time from point of departure to destination; type or size of lodging
or other accommodation; availability of lodging or other accommodation; or other
services available, reserved or contracted for in connection with any trip, tour
or other travel services, unless such misrepresentation resulted from a
reasonable belief as to the services available based upon representations made
by the person offering such services;

3. Misrepresent the fares and charges for transportation or services in
connection therewith, unless the misrepresentation resulted from a reasonable
belief as to the fares and charges applicable based upon representations made by

special considerations are in fact granted to members of the public generally;

specified space, flight or time or represent that such definite reservation or
charter is or will be available or has been arranged, without a binding
commitment with a carrier for the furnishing of such definite reservation or
charter as represented or sold;

6. Sell or issue tickets or other documents to be exchanged or used for
transportation if the tickets or other documents will not be or cannot be
legally honored by carriers for transportation;

7. Misrepresent the requirements that must be met by a person in order to
qualify for charter or group fare rates, unless such misrepresentation resulted
from a reasonable belief as to the requirements applicable based upon
representations made by the person offering the charter or group fare;

8. Offer accommodations in lodgings when the travel club has no written evidence
of its legal right to possession of such lodgings; or
