65. TRANSPORTATION AND BAGGAGE
(A) Transportation of Actor by Producer.
(1) Except as specifically changed or modified herein the Producer shall, at the Producer's
expense, transport the Actor and Actor's baggage, when required to travel, from the Actor's
place of residence as stated in the contract to the theatre and return or between theatres.
The Producer shall provide such methods of travel to the theatre as are the most direct
within the public means available.
(2) The Actor and the Producer may agree in writing as to the routes and modes of
transportation. In no event, however, shall such agreement provide for a payment to the
Actor of a sum less than the cost of applicable public transportation from the place of
residence to the theatre and return. If travel is by air, a coach ticket on a Government
certified airline is required for transportation from the city which is the point of origin to the
first city traveled to, and also from the last city in which the Actor performs back to the point
of origin. The Actor shall not be compelled to travel by air without Actor's consent, and in
each and every case, it shall be entirely in the determination of the Actor to decide whether
or not Actor wishes to travel by air.
(3) The Producer shall furnish the Actor with the necessary tickets, or their cash equivalent,
from the place of residence as stated in the contract, to each theatre at least three days in
advance of Actor's departure. The Producer shall deliver the Actor's return transportation in
cash or tickets, at the Actor's option, at least three days before the close of the Actor's
engagement.
(B) Air Travel. Air travel shall be the preferred method of travel. Air travel, if consented to by the
Actor, must be on a first class Government certified scheduled airline, and not on a nonscheduled
or private airline.
(1) Air excursion or group travel tickets may be substituted for full fare coach provided such
flights take place during the hours between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM and are less than six
hours duration and meals are provided on the plane at the Producer's expense. Once an
Actor has accepted an excursion or group air ticket, Actor shall be responsible for any
additional expense which may result from Actor changing Actor's travel schedule and not
using the flights that the Producer has arranged. If the Actor consents to travel by air, the
Producer shall provide, or reimburse the Actor for the premium cost of, air travel insurance
up to the amount of $90,000 for each flight. Whenever a tour of at least five flights is
contemplated, the Producer shall provide the Actor, before the initial flight, with a
recognized insurance policy for not less than $125,000. The Producer will reimburse the
Actor for said premiums providing a receipt is submitted.
(2) If delay en route in air travel occurs, all expenses usually paid for or furnished the
traveler under coach air travel and not paid the Actor by the airlines, shall be reimbursed to
the Actor by the Producer.
(3) The Producer may designate that the Actor's baggage be transported either by air
freight or excess baggage. If the Producer designates air freight, the Actor shall be given at
least 24 hours notice thereof so to arrange for such transportation. The cost of baggage
transportation, not to exceed 300 pounds, will be borne by the Producer.
