7.1.2 such action is necessary in order to comply with any applicable laws, regulations, or orders of any state or country to be flown from, into or over;
7.1.3 your conduct, age or mental or physical state including your impairment from alcohol or drugs, is such as to require special assistance, cause discomfort or make yourself objectionable to other passengers or involve any hazard or risk to yourself or to other persons or to property;
7.1.4 such action is necessary because you have failed to observe any of our instructions including non compliance with these Conditions in relation to carriage of dangerous or prohibited goods;
7.1.5 you have refused to submit to a security check;
7.1.6 you have not paid the applicable fare, charges or taxes for your current or any previous carriage with us;
7.1.7 you do not appear to have valid travel documents; you may seek to enter a country through which you are in transit; you may destroy your travel documents during flight; you refuse to surrender your travel documents to the flight crew, against receipt, when so requested;
7.1.8 the Ticket you present has been acquired unlawfully or has been purchased from an entity other than us or our Authorised Agent; has been reported as being lost or stolen; is a counterfeit; or contains a Flight Coupon that has been altered by anyone other than us or our Authorised Agent, or has been mutilated;
7.1.9 you cannot prove that you are the person named in the Ticket;
7.1.10 you have previously committed an act or omission of the type referred to above in Article 7.1 on a previous flight or at any location connected with airline services including airports and Ticket selling offices, and we have reason to believe that such act or omission may be repeated on a flight operated by us or Our Operators;
7.1.11 we have notified you in writing that we would not, after the date of such notice, carry you on our flights or those of Our Operators. In this circumstance you will be entitled to a refund.

7.2 SPECIAL ASSISTANCE
Acceptance for carriage of unaccompanied children, incapacitated persons, pregnant women, persons with illness, or other people requiring special assistance, is subject to prior arrangement with us. Passengers with disabilities who have advised us of their disability and any special requirements they may have at the time of booking, and been accepted by us, shall not subsequently be refused carriage because of such disability or special requirements. Should you require special assistance or request us to supply equipment or facilities (such as oxygen) we will be entitled to charge you for the provision of such assistance, equipment or facilities.
