Jul 28, 2022 Flight Delays and Your Rights
Air travel during a global pandemic is akin to gambling. With airport congestion and labour shortages, there's a good chance that your flight will not take off on time.
Suppose you find yourself facing a significant delay in your flight or cancellation. Will the airline make sure you have another travel arrangement? If that's not possible, will you get your money back in the form of the original payment? Or will you have to settle for a time-limited credit for future flights? Finally, will you be compensated for your out-of-pocket expenses?
You have more rights under Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), which took effect on December 15, 2019. The Regulations require airlines to give refunds and pay compensation if your flight is hit by disruptions that are within the airline's control.
