    is necessary to enable that passenger to complete that travel, a carrier
    may extend the maximum validity of the ticket of any passenger

    is available when he applies to a carrier, that carrier may extend
    the maximum validity of that ticket for the lesser of the following
    periods:
    (a) The period until the first flight of the class of service concerned
    to the destination concerned upon which a seat is available:

    members of his immediate family accompanying him—
    (a) In the case of a ticket that is a normal fare ticket or special
    fare ticket (being a ticket with a maximum validity of 12
    months in respect of all that travel), until the date upon

    (i) Where the residue of that travel involves one or more
    stopovers, until any date not more than 3 months after
    that date; or
    (ii) In any other case, until the first flight after that date
    of the class of service concerned to the destination
    concerned upon which a seat is available:
    (b) In the case of any other ticket, for the shorter of the following
    periods after the date upon which (according to a doctor’s
    certificate), that passenger is fit to resume travelling:

    commenced, a member of his immediate family dies, a
    carrier may extend the maximum validity of that ticket,
    and of the tickets of any members of his immediate family
    accompanying him,—
    either until 45 days have elapsed since the death concerned or until
    all formalities and religious customs relating to that death have
    been completed, whichever is the sooner.
    (5) No carrier shall extend the validity of any ticket under
    subclause (4) of this clause until it has received a death certificate
    relating to the person whose death is the basis of the extension
    concerned (being a certificate duly executed by a person authorised
    to issue death certificates under the laws of the place where that
    person died) or a copy of such a death certificate.
