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 $1,800 (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.
