Porter Airlines Compensation Eligibility

When You Are Eligible

You can receive Porter flight delay compensation under Canadian APPR if any of these apply:

  • Your flight was delayed by 3 or more hours.
  • Your flight was cancelled less than 14 days before departure.
  • You were denied boarding for reasons within the airline’s control.
  • A missed connection caused you to arrive 3 or more hours late.

Remember that these rules are based on Canada’s APPR, not EU or US laws.

When You Are Not Eligible

There are situations when the airline is not required to pay compensation under APPR:

  • Bad weather.
  • Security risks.
  • Airport crew strikes.
  • Medical emergencies.
  • Technical issues that affect safety.

Even if monetary compensation is not owed, the airline may still be required under APPR to provide assistance such as meals, hotel accommodation if needed, or rebooking. For US domestic flights, meals, hotels, and similar assistance are generally provided according to airline policy and are not guaranteed by federal law.
