explaining these fare rule to the uneducated or senior citizens.....

[Res]

This is not an easy task with the use it or lose it rule....no matter how much we stress the new rules...I'm still not sure they are grasping the concept...Hope it is printed large and bold on the e-ticket confirmation and is in understandable terms...does anyone know how it appears on confirmation letter ?
uneducated was wrong term...just meant those who are not travel smart/ or regular travellers...

How about this to give to passengers?

Improve on it to make it 'fool-proof'.
