What Compensation Can You Get at Montreal Trudeau Airport?

If your flight was late, cancelled, or if you were denied boarding, you might be covered by Canada’s Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR). Note that these rules are different from EU laws.

Here’s when APPR may provide compensation:

  • Your flight was delayed by at least 3 hours.
  • You experienced a flight cancellation.
  • The airline didn’t let you board because they overbooked the flight.

APPR applies if you’re leaving from Montreal, arriving there, or connecting through. Even for international travelers, Montreal Airport flight delay compensation rules still matter under APPR.

How Much Can You Claim Under APPR?
  • Flight Delay or Cancellation Compensation (Large Airlines)

    - CAD 400 for flights delayed 3 to 6 hours.
    - CAD 700 for flights delayed 6 to 9 hours.
    - CAD 1,000 for flights delayed over 9 hours.

  • Denied Boarding

    - CAD 900 if your new flight was less than 6 hours late.
    - CAD 1,800 if the delay was 6 to 9 hours.
    - CAD 2,400 if the delay was over 9 hours.

APPR vs EU261 – Which Rights Apply at Montreal Trudeau Airport?

At Canadian airports like Montreal Trudeau, only APPR is applied. EU rules (EU261) don’t apply unless your flight connects with an EU country in a certain way. Here’s how it works.

Situation Regulation
Departing from Montreal APPR
Arriving at Montreal Trudeau on an EU airline EU261
Departing from the EU to Montreal EU261
Domestic flights within Canada APPR

So if you’re flying in or out of Montreal, APPR is your go-to rulebook, not EU laws.

Montreal Trudeau Airport Compensation Eligibility

When You Are Eligible

You can get compensation from the airlines if the disruption was their fault, such as:

  • Airline (not airport) staff strikes.
  • Delay of more than 3 hours.
  • You couldn’t board due to overbooking.
  • Your flight got cancelled with no prior notice.

If one of these pertains to your case, make sure you try getting compensation. Flight delays and cancellations don’t always lead to payouts, but it’s worth a try.

When You Are Not Eligible

You won’t get money back if the airline isn’t at fault. Here’s when that happens:

  • Extreme weather.
  • Airport security problems.
  • Flight delays and cancellations are caused by air traffic control.
  • Mechanical problems that affect safety.

But even in these cases, the airline still must take care of you and provide you with food, refreshments, and a new flight if needed.

How to Claim Compensation from Montreal Trudeau Airport

If you think you’re eligible for compensation, here are some steps you need to take.

  • 1. Contact the Airline

    You’ve got up to one year to send in your claim. Be sure to collect everything you may need: boarding pass, flight details, and any messages from the airline.

  • 2. Wait for a Response

    The airline has 30 days to get back to you. If they don’t respond, or their reply doesn’t seem fair, you can still take action to get your share.

  • 3. Escalate the Issue

    If they brush you off or don’t reply at all, you can report it to the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA), and they can step in to help.

  • 4. Contact Skycop

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much compensation can I get from Montreal Trudeau Airport?

    You can get up to CAD 1,000 for delays or up to CAD 2,400 if you were denied boarding and arrived very late. But if it was due to weather or other external issues, the airline doesn’t have to provide compensation.

    In general, the minimum compensation amount you can get is CAD 400 if you’re flying with large airlines, and the amount goes up to CAD 2,400.

  • Does Canadian APPR apply to international travelers?

    Yes, even if you’re not from Canada, APPR applies to you when you fly out of Montreal or use a Canadian airline.

  • What if my flight was delayed more than 3 hours?

    If your flight was delayed by more than 3 hours, you might get up to CAD 1,000, depending on how long the final delay was. But if the delay came from extreme weather or something that’s not in the airline’s control, then they don’t have to pay you.

  • How long do I have to claim compensation?

    You have up to 1 year from the date of the flight cancellation or delay to file your claim. So don’t want too long or you could miss out on your compensation.
