3 If charter cost was not divided equally among all participants actually transported, indicate clearly the individual amounts collected and the number of passengers paying each such amount.

5 As a separate item there should be listed here a total of all the amounts refunded to the charter participants; also list separately air transportation, land tour, and administrative expenses, and break down administrative expenses so as to show such items as postage and printing, and to show compensation for labor and personal expenses paid to any member of chartering organization.

Disclose any relationship to chartering organization.

If this item does not agree with item 3(d), submit an explanatory statement as to the reasons therefor. If the total expenditures (including among other items compensation to members of the chartering organization but exclusive of expenses for air transportation or land tours) exceed $750 per round trip, such expenditures shall be fully supported by vouchers submitted to and retained by the direct air carrier operating the charter. Such vouchers must cover all expenditures made on behalf of the chartering group including any expenditures for banquets, gifts, local transit, etc. 8 See footnote 1 on p. 296.
