These days we are all wondering about passenger compensation and travellers’ rights. The federal government of Canada has laid out some new regulations, as of 15th July, 2019.  What to do when stuck on a plane, your flight is delayed or cancelled,  luggage is lost or questions about transporting certain objects like musical instruments, assigning seats for children and more.

In Europe, flight delays of 3 hours, cancellations, or being denied boarding due to overbooking more entitle a traveller to compensation.  This is called Flight Compensation Regulation 261/2004. The EU has a website outlining more information and how to claim. Website click here.
