Air fare or the rate is the fixed price a passenger is supposed to pay to fly from one destination to another destination in a certain airlines in a certain class of service at a particular date. The fares, rates or charges are quoted in per passenger and apply to air carriage over the route by participating airlines from the airport at the point of origin to the point of destination. Air fare normally does not include ground transfer and tax. Air fare is known as air tariff. Tariff is the price to be paid for the services provided.

General RulesThe airlines are selling special product. Product means the services or goods or commodity which are ready to sale and which satisfies the need of a customer. To sale the commodity the producer or seller must have fixed the price. Fixing of the price is necessary when it is ready to sale. In airlines industry product is the air space and the production is to publish the schedules.
Every airlines has its own rules and regulations and fare conditions, which they will publish accordingly. The same way every country has its rules and regulations. The rule of a country is
applicable within the territory of the country and the rule published by an airline is applicable to the airlines only. If the journey is limited within one country by only one airline it will be very easy to rifer and follow particular rules and regulations.
