               Subpart G_Policies Relating to Enforcement
 
Sec. 399.83  Unfair or deceptive practice of air carrier, foreign air carrier, 

or ticket agent in orally confirming to prospective passenger reserved space 

on scheduled flights.

    It is the policy of the Board to consider the practice of an air 
carrier, foreign air carrier, or ticket agent, of stating to a 
prospective passenger by telephone or other means of communication that 
a reservation of space on a scheduled flight in air transportation is 
confirmed before a passenger has received a ticket specifying thereon 
his confirmed reserved space, to be an unfair or deceptive practice and 
an unfair method of competition in air transportation or the sale 
thereof within the meaning of section 411 of the Act, unless the tariff 
of the particular air carrier or foreign air carrier provides for 
confirmation of reserved space by the means so used.
