adopt due prudence when utilising this benefit, in particular
when long queues are in evidence.

to priority boarding give pre-advice to the Company
of the date and time of travel and that they are ready
for boarding at least ten (10) minutes before departure
time.
(iii) The Company may, at the Chairman's discretion,
authorise priority boarding in specific circumstances.
(iv) Priority boarding may be authorised by the policeman
on duty in exceptional circumstances, in particular
relating to an emergency.
