Air Canada Compensation for Baggage Issues
If your baggage is delayed, lost, or damaged, your rights are generally governed by the Montreal Convention on most international routes:
- Air Canada may reimburse reasonable essential expenses if your checked baggage is delayed.
- If Air Canada loses or damages your baggage, compensation may be available up to $1,700 (€1,600), subject to international limits under the Montreal Convention.
Always report baggage issues as soon as possible and keep receipts for any essential purchases, as reimbursement requires documentation.
