There is a rule in Canada that if your flight is cancelled by the airline and you inconvenienced by it, you are due compensation. In May of 2023 Westjet had a pending pilot strike and was winding down flights prior to the strike date. I was in Bermuda, wondering if my flight to Toronto was going to occur on time. It turned out they did not strike and my flight did occur. Dang, I was hoping to get marooned in Bermuda for a few more days. I arrived in Toronto, but my connecting flight to Calgary had been cancelled until the following day. I didn’t feel like lining up at the Westjet counter so I grabbed a hotel on my own. After making it to Calgary I applied to a government website to report the inconvenience and then had to deal with Westjet who tried to deny the claim saying the flight cancellation was due to a “ safety issue”. The feds and Westjet duked it out and just recently, after two years I received an Email from Westjet saying that they had $1000 to pay me. After checking out if this was a scam I hit the button, and bam, $1000 was transferred into my bank account. What sort of compensation against the airlines for flight cancellations have you found?
