Mr. Rafael Carrascoso is a civil engineer who was a member of a group of 48 Filipino pilgrims that left Manila for Lourdes on 30 March 1958, Air France, through its authorized agent, Philippine Air Lines, Inc. issued to a Mr. Carrascoso a first-class”round trip airplane ticket from Manila to Rome. From Manila to Bangkok, Mr. Carrascoso travelled in “first class”, but at Bangkok, the Manager of the Air France airline forced him to vacate the “first class” seat that he was occupying because there was a “white man”, who, the Manager alleged, had a “better right to the seat.” When asked to vacate his first class-seat, Mr. Carrascoso, as was to be expected, refused. A commotion ensued but Mr. Carrascoso reluctantly gave his first class seat in the plane. In its defense, Air France alleged that although Mr. Carrascoso was issued a first-class ticket, it was no guarantee that the passenger to whom the same had been issued would be accommodated in the first class compartment, for the passenger had yet to make arrangements upon arrival at every station for the necessary first-class reservation. Is Mr. Carrascoso entitled to the first-class seat? Is Mr. Carrascoso entitled to damages?
