When it comes to airline passenger rights, look North.
The Canadian government is apparently doing a whole lot more to protect passengers than the U.S. Department of Transportation. Under Canadian rules, when a flight is delayed on the tarmac for any time before takeoff or even after landing, carriers now must provide food and beverages, working lavatories, and air conditioning.
If you are bumped from a flight, you can get paid up to $2,400 Canadian dollars. That’s $500 more than in the U.S.
And for families traveling together, airlines must provide a seat adjacent to the parent for kids under five and a seat in the same row for kids that are 5-11.
Here’s one piece of additional good news. The Canadian regulations also apply to U.S. carriers operating in Canada.
