Travel & Airlines
Passenger rights under APPR, compensation for delays and bumping, and protections most Canadian travellers never claim.
Available Loopholes
Each entry below is a plain-English guide to a specific Canadian legal right, rule, or workaround — including the exact laws and regulations that back it up.
Air Travel Disability Accommodation — Your Right to Accessible Air Travel in Canada
Canadian airlines are required by the Canadian Transportation Agency to provide accessible services for passengers with disabilities — including no extra charge for a second seat if you require one, and assistance throughout the journey.
Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) Compensation
Canada's APPR regulations require airlines to pay $125–$1,000+ in compensation for flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding caused by reasons within the airline's control — but airlines routinely invoke exceptions, and passengers who push back through the CTA win far more often than those who accept initial denials.
APPR Denied Claim: Force the Airline to Justify the Refusal
When an airline denies your APPR compensation claim, it must provide a detailed written explanation — not just a vague excuse — within 30 days.
APPR Rebooking Rights — Make the Airline Rebook You Instead of Just Offering a Shrug and a Refund
Under Canada’s passenger protection regime, airlines can owe rebooking obligations after flight disruptions, and passengers often miss this because they focus only on compensation.
APPR Standard Treatment Rights — Force the Airline to Cover Meals, Communication, and Hotels During Major Delays
Under the Air Passenger Protection Regulations, airlines may owe delayed passengers standard treatment such as food, communication access, and overnight accommodation, even before compensation is decided.
APPR Tarmac Delay Standards — Get Off the Plane or Get Mandatory Basic Care
Canada's APPR imposes specific obligations during tarmac delays, including ventilation, food and drink, toilets, and medical access, with time-based rules on deplaning.
Airline Baggage Fee Disputes — Challenge Unexpected Fees and Know Your Rights Under APPR
Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) require airlines to clearly disclose all fees before booking — undisclosed fees, incorrectly applied charges, and excess baggage fees can be disputed and refunded.
Credit Card Travel Insurance — What's Actually Covered
Most Canadian premium credit cards include emergency medical, trip cancellation, baggage, and rental car insurance worth hundreds of dollars per year — but the coverage is riddled with eligibility triggers, pre-existing condition exclusions, and card-charging requirements that void claims if you don't know the rules before you travel.
Montreal Convention Baggage Damage Claim — Recover for International Bag Loss, Delay, or Damage
International air travel baggage claims often fall under the Montreal Convention, which can give passengers compensation rights for delayed, damaged, or lost baggage if they respect the notice deadlines.
