✈️ Stuck at the airport again?
What if that delay could actually put up to $2,400 in your pocket?
Most people think a delayed or canceled flight is just bad luck…
but in Canada, that’s not always true.
Under the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR),
you may be entitled to real compensation — not just apologies.
💰 If your flight is delayed or canceled due to the airline:
You could receive:
• 3–6 hours → $400
• 6–9 hours → $700
• 9+ hours → $1,000
And it gets even more interesting…
🚫 If you’re denied boarding (overbooked flight):
You could be owed up to $2,400
🍔 Waiting at the airport for hours?
Airlines must provide:
• Food and drinks
• Access to communication (Wi-Fi)
• Hotel + transportation (if overnight delay)
🔄 Even if the delay is NOT the airline’s fault:
If they can’t rebook you within 48 hours,
👉 you may still be eligible for a refund
So why do most people get nothing?
Because they don’t know…
and airlines don’t always explain it clearly.
📝 If this ever happens to you:
You have 1 year to file a claim
and the airline must respond within 30 days
👉 Keep your boarding pass and receipts — they matter more than you think.
Next time your flight is delayed…
don’t just wait. Ask questions.
