Calgary International Compensation Eligibility
When You Are Eligible
You might be owed money if the disruption was their fault:
- Strikes by airline staff.
- A flight delay lasting over 3 hours.
- Overbooking.
- A last-minute cancellation.
If any of these happened to you, you can try asking for compensation. Not every case pays out, but it’s definitely worth checking. You may get up to CAD 2,400.
When You Are Not Eligible
Even if you face a disruption, airlines don’t have to pay you if the cause was:
- Bad weather or unsafe conditions.
- Airport or airline security threats.
- Air traffic control delays.
- Mechanical failures.
But airlines still have to help you. They must give you food, refreshments, and cover any reasonable expenses. If you wait overnight, they should provide you a hotel.
