Air Canada Flight Cancellation Compensation
Regardless of whether you're at home or abroad when you find out about your Air Canada flight cancellation, you're going to have a lot of questions and concerns. The first thing to know is that Air Canada should find you a new flight, or offer you a full refund.
But because flight cancellations almost always play havoc with your travel plans, you should check whether you're also entitled to claim Air Canada canceled flight compensation to help make up for the disruption.
Under EU regulations, Air Canada should pay passengers up to US$650 per person when they cancel flights at late notice — that is, any flight cancellation less than 14 days before it was due to depart.
Exceptions:
Air Canada will not have to pay compensation if they were able to offer a replacement flight with similar departure and arrival times to the original. You can check the exact requirements on our flight cancellation compensation page.
Airlines also don't have to pay compensation if extraordinary circumstances were at play. That means that if an unusual situation occurred that was outside of the airline's control but forced a cancellation, there's no Air Canada flight cancellation compensation owed. Typical examples include bad weather or a strike by air traffic control.

Air Passenger Rights and Flight Compensation
Because Air Canada is based within the EU, almost all the flights they offer are protected by EC 261, one of the world's most comprehensive laws for air passenger rights.

Passengers also have the right to seek compensation for earlier flights; it is often still possible to submit claims for flights in the last 3 years.
