Montreal-Bodrum

Economy

I have been on vacation in Bodrum, Turkey and have now been without my luggage for 3 days. This has caused significant inconvenience, as I do not have access to my clothes, toiletries, and other essential personal belongings. I also had stay an extra hour at the airport waiting for my luggage and have missed planned events and activities because of this situation. Considering the inconvenience, lost time, and disruption this has caused to my vacation, I believe compensation is a must.

Technical problems

The flight was delayed from 2-20pm until 5pm due to the plane needing to be changed (see attached screenshot). They then cancelled the flight and moved us on to a Porter Airlines plane the following day at 5-50pm. This plane was also delayed, by 3 hours and 20 minutes (Flight PD607 from YYZ). This meant that we missed the concert in New York that we were travelling there for. Although Air Canada told us on the 8th when they rescheduled us after the cancellation that we could claim back for expenses and would receive compensation (for the 31 hours of lost holiday), they have since told us that the cancellation was due to bad weather, which is an utter lie because not only do we have the screenshot that says otherwise but also the following... We were due to leave Billy Bishop for LaGuardia at 5pm and it was cancelled but another plane left Billy Bishop at 6pm and went to LaGuardia... They cancelled our flight and moved us to an alternative airport with an alternative airline the following day, which meant that we incurred expenses that we could not afford. They gave us the option of staying in a hotel that they would choose for us (and cover the cost) or find our own accommodation, pay for it and they would reimburse us for that expense. As we had been staying locally for the previous 3 nights at a house that we booked through Air BnB we decided to contact the host and request that we return there for an extra night (cheaper than 2 rooms at a hotel). They also said that you would provide us with a voucher for a taxi to get us back to that accommodation (which they did) and they would reimburse us for the trip from there the following morning to the new airport (YYZ). They also said that they would reimburse the meals if we kept a receipt, which we did. We also explained that it was essential that we got to New York in time for a concert that we had booked 8 months ago and had been saving hard for the trip. The concert was at Citi Field (My Chemical Romance) and was the following evening. The flight that they changed us to (because they didn’t have an aircraft) was due to get us into New York later than the concert started but they said that was our only option, so we had to take it. The flight that they moved us to was 3 hours and 20 minutes delayed due to no staff, so we actually missed the entire concert that we had booked 8 months previously and had been saving for, which cost us approx Β£1,000 (tickets were $371 each plus booking fees). So, they cost us 31 hours of a holiday that we had saved for 3 years to experience (should have landed at 3-30pm and actually landed the following evening at 10-30pm) over a Β£1,000 of tickets that we couldn’t use plus accommodation that we couldn’t afford plus taxi fees that we only needed because they sent us to a different airport, and they're saying that they won’t reimburse us anything at all because they're using the excuse of the weather, even though another plane set off at the same time from the same airport to the same destination?

I was asked to gate check my bag (bag tag: 0014756878) in CPH and the bag was never returned at YYC. According to the bag tracking in the Air Canada app it was put on the AC151 flight to YYC but never arrived at the baggage belt. A massing bag case was created on the spot with PIR: YYCAC56609 A The attatched conversation was started with case number: CAS-10433339-C7S3K6  As per the conversation with Air Canada, they posulate that a claim was not filed within 21 day and reference terms. As the PIR was filed on the day, that consitutes a claim filing within the limit. Furthermore the terms Air Canada reference is for expense reimbursement, including the requirement to submit receipts for reasonable interim out-of-pocket expenses. This is not an out of pocket expenses claim. This is a lost bag claim.

Influence by other flights

Originally, we were scheduled to fly back with WestJet (WS70) on August 1st. However, this flight was cancelled due to a strike, and we were rebooked on Air Canada flying out august 2nd. On August 2nd, upon arrival at Halifax Airport, we received an email informing us that our flight from Halifax to Montreal (AC669) was delayed by 50 minutes. Since our connection time was only 52 minutes (AC900), we went to the Air Canada desk. The Air Canada employee told us that we would miss our connection and advised us not to board the first flight. He rebooked our flights since we had no other options but due to the disruptions caused by the WestJet strike, we were rebooked for Tuesday, August 4th (AC946 ). We went back to the airport on Monday, but they could not get us on an earlier flight. Since we arrived two days later than planned with Air Canada, we were wondering if we could receive any compensation.?(Screenshots from the boarding passes of august 2nd and august 4th were uploaded)

Delayed baggage - AC 7688/AC7690 - 22 July 2026

AIR CANADA #YHZAC86868 Our arrival (AC 7688) was delayed a total for 4 hours, (4 separate delays in total). Travelling with my wife and both our suitcases failed to arrive with our flight. Initially, we were scheduled to arrive in Halifax at 1150 AST on AC 7688 but, after a fourth announced delay, we were advised that our scheduled aircraft was still in Moncton and likely would not make it to Ottawa. The AC Customer Service representative in Ottawa recommended that we rebook on AC 7690 which would arrive in Halifax at approximately 1600. (AST). Given that we had relatives waiting for us at the airport who would be transporting to our final destination (Some four hours away), we rebooked and our journey continued. When we rebooked, the AC Customer Service Representative indicated that our bags would be transferred to our rescheduled aircraft. However, as we walked away, we noted that no call had been made in our presence (as had been done for the prior customer ahead in line) to confirm the bags would be shifted to our new flight so we returned to the customer service desk and were once again reassured the suitcases would be β€œautomatically shifted over” to our new flight. Upon arrival in Halifax, our two suitcases (Tck #s AC 172961, AC 172960) were nowhere to be found. This was quite distressing as we were scheduled to attend a Celebration of Life the following morning and required our suitcases to change to more appropriate clothes. The Air Canada Lost Baggage representative confirmed our suitcases would be on the later flight and assured us that they would be delivered to our destination in Belle Cote, Cape Breton by 0600, the following morning and prior to the Celebration of Life. Thus, we continued our journey to Belle Cote without our suitcases. While enroute, I received communication from Air Canada stating that our suitcases would be picked up from the airport at 2000 and that they would be delivered to us by 0600 the following morning. At 0620 on the 23rd of July, I contacted the contracted baggage transport driver (Michelle) who confirmed she was just departing Halifax Airport. Michelle confirmed to me that no β€œrush instruction" had been placed on the tasking, otherwise our suitcases would have been delivered by 0600. It is unclear to me as to why, despite assurances by the Air Canada baggage representative, that our two suitcases would be delivered by 0600, no rush was indicated on the tasking. Although our suitcases ultimately were delivered later that morning at 1147, this did not occur before the Celebration of Life (the primary purpose of our travel). There was opportunity to purchase new clothes in time of the scheduled event as were in rural Cape Breton where shopping options are very limited. We were therefore compelled to wear our day-old travel clothes which were not appropriate for the occasion. In our view, this was the result of unacceptable service on the part of Air Canada, despite repeated assurances that (1) our suitcases would be on the plane and (2) that our delayed suitcases would be delivered no later that 0600 on the 23rd of July. Please advise as to what Air Canada is prepared to offer us in the form of compensation for our inconvenience.

I was travelling to a place with much colder weather and all of my jackets were in my checked luggage. This made it very inconvenient to pursue the activities I had hoped to. I still have not received my luggage 2 days later and have been living out of my carry-on. I was on the plane, on the tarmac, at the Dublin Airport where I saw my luggage being driven off into the opposite direction of the plane by a trolley and then the plane pulled out to take off and there was nothing I could do about it. My luggage was even marked β€œpriority” with bright orange flags.

Problems at airport

Arrived at the airport.., Waited 4hrs at the gate until they told us the flight was cancelled because the pilot was sick. They rebooked the flight for 2 DAYS later! We all got a code to give the hotel for a free room and buffet, they said to submit a claim for your own transportation to and from the airport. .. I had to get home before that, as I was out of my seizure medication. They booked me on a flight the next day to Calgary with a connection in Montreal instead of Toronto. I arrived in Canada over 24hrs later. I lost my hotel room in Calgary that I pre-paid for with parking, I couldn’t cancel it and I missed a day of work. It was a nightmare… If a pilot is sick don’t make us wait 4hrs after boarding time to tell us and don’t lie and say we will be compensated!

Flight Cancellation. Was almost late to the cruise. Missed the excursion pick up

I am writing to formally complain about the cancellation of my flight itinerary and the resulting delay associated with my travel bookings, including booking reference UQEKKB and FMMQNG and my accompanying booking. Due to the flight cancellation, I was rebooked and ultimately arrived at my destination more than four hours later than originally scheduled. This significant disruption caused substantial stress and inconvenience for me and the other members of my travel party. Most concerning, the delay put us at serious risk of missing our scheduled cruise departure. As a party of four, we experienced considerable anxiety and uncertainty throughout the journey, not knowing whether we would arrive in time to board the ship. What should have been the start of a long-planned vacation became an extremely stressful experience because of the flight disruption. I respectfully request that Air Canada review both bookings and assess my eligibility for compensation under the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR). I would also appreciate a detailed explanation of the reason for the cancellation and confirmation of whether the disruption was within Air Canada's control. Given the significant delay and the impact on our travel plans, I request: Review of both bookings associated with this trip. Confirmation of the cause of the cancellation. Assessment and payment of any compensation to which we are entitled under the APPR. Consideration of the significant stress and hardship experienced by our party of four. A written response outlining the outcome of your review. I have been a loyal customer and am disappointed by this experience. I trust Air Canada will give this matter the attention it deserves and provide a fair resolution. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Bella Dolgin Booking References: 4 passengers Arrival Delay: More than 4 hours later than scheduled Impact: Flight cancellation Significant disruption to travel plans Serious risk of missing a scheduled cruise departure Considerable stress and hardship for all four travelers

We landed in the wrong airport. We were scheduled for Naples and landed in Rome.

Our flight did not land in Naples, but it did land in Rome. We had to take two trains and a ferry in order to get to our hotel in the town of Amalfi. We arrived at 9:30 pm instead of noon and lost the whole day of vacation. We had a car reserved and paid for through Lavallee (booking 78452825 for 164.04 euro). We would appreciate the car being refunded at a minimum as we lost the whole day and had a crazy time getting to our destination. Our flight was AC 882 on WED, 01 JUL from Montreal to Naples. I know other flights landed during our expected arrival time, and I was completely confused as to why we did not land in Naples. Our names are Theresa and Arthur La Vallee. Our GS United numbers are Theresa, DWN56197 and Arthur UPH43552. I will say that the crew were all fantastic and we were happy to land in one piece. Worse things could have happened to us, but we really would appreciate this issue being looked at. Thank you so much, Arty LaVallee

We were told to go to the gate in Montreal to board the flight to Athens, then it was delayed and within an hour it was cancelled.

Rome-Mexico City

Economy

Our outbound flight was severely disrupted due to an unacceptable delay of approximately 4 hours. We were kept on board the aircraft for several hours without any clear explanation from the crew or the airline. During this time, the air conditioning was not working, leaving passengers in extremely uncomfortable and unacceptable conditions. After waiting on the aircraft, all passengers were instructed to disembark. We then had to wait several more hours at the airport before being allowed to board the same flight again, resulting in a total delay of around 5 hours. As a direct consequence of this delay, we missed our connecting flight in Canada, causing significant inconvenience, stress, and disruption to our travel plans. Throughout the entire incident, communication from the airline was inadequate, and passengers were left without proper information or assistance. We believe the way passengers were treated was unacceptable and fell far below the standard of service that should be expected from an international airline. We respectfully request appropriate compensation under the applicable passenger rights regulations, as well as reimbursement for any additional expenses incurred due to the missed connection and the disruption caused by this incident.

I chose to stay in my hotel in Vegas because I figured the delay was going to be even longer than they said originally (it was.) When I got to Toronto, they offered me a stay in a hotel before my rebooked flight to Thunder Bay (for less than three hours!?) So I figure they could at least reimburse me for the hotel stay in Vegas! They denied my first claim, and haven’t responded to the email I sent, so now I’d like more compensation. Also, I had to to pay for a taxi (originally I was going to the airport with someone else, (they had a different flight to catch) and they were going to pay, as I had paid for the taxi to the hotel. I don’t have that receipt though. But it’s just over $22.00 for the standard fare from the airport to the hotel we stayed at. Vegas has standard pricing from the airport to specific hotels/areas.

Problems at airport

Flight AC 858 from Toronto (YYZ) to London Heathrow on Saturday 20 June was scheduled to depart at 23:50 and arrive in London at 11:50 the following day. The flight did not leave Toronto until around 02:30 am, and we arrived in London at around 14:40 or so, making the arrival delay just under 3 hours. I tried to claim through Air Canada's website eligibility checker, but it did not show me as eligible, which may be due to the delay falling slightly short of the 3-hour threshold. I am submitting to you regardless, as I understand the precise arrival time (when doors opened) may differ from what I observed, and I would appreciate your assessment. During the delay at Toronto, the only assistance provided was meal vouchers, which were of little help because at that time of night the majority of airport outlets were closed, and the only one open had very limited food options. Due to staying at the airport around 2 hours longer than planned, I also had to buy a power bank. The receipt for this is attached, along with screenshots of the flight details.

I've tried to find the response directly from the website automated form, but it not longer states what it said because I previously filed a claim. The airline response stated the flight did not qualify for compensation because the flight was delayed/cancelled due to unscheduled maintenance beyond the airlines control.

Lack of transport services available

. We sat in airport. At between 8 9 PM. We were on the plane wouldn't fly. had to go pick up our luggage. No wheelchair. Had to go to the counter . No wheelchair. Then they told me to go to end of line and I asked about accommodations for handicapped. i was helped next, I was running out of medication and wouldn't have enough to stay till Monday. So I got a Sunday night flight. I drag my luggage back through the airport andthe tunnel at Billy Bishop to get to the street. I paid the price with exhaustion and excruciating pain.

bluecheck Expenses reimbursement

bluecheck Other - I don't know if I'm entitled to a refund, but I put that in anyway since it was listed. I want to write initially about accessibility difficulties. I am a person with handicap in conditions and walking is very difficult for me and I walk with a walker. When my July 4, 6:15 plane to New York City from Billy Bishop. Was canceled there was no one available to push my wheelchair as all the attendance were behind the counter, rebooking people. I had to walk with a walker, dragging my suitcase and hand luggage through the airport, through the tunnel out to the street to get transportation. This left me exhausted and with excruciating pain that lasted for days. I know you have no transportation service at Billy Bishop and the responsibility for pushing wheelchairs in the hands of the desk, attendance, at least that's what I was told. To me, it was outrageous that I had to do all that walking, dragging my luggage and the walker. This needs to be remedy.

Problems at airport

Hi, Thank you for helping me with this case. I want to provide detailed context on what happened. Our initial airport was from SFO and our final destination was LHR ( London ) and transiting through Vancouver. SFO -> YVR YVR -> LHR The flight to YVR was delayed by not more than an hr and Aircanada didn't wait for the flight from YVR -> LHR. IF they had waited only like 20-30 mins, then we would've caught the flight. THis caused us to miss the connectino from YVR -> LHR. THis was of immense problem to us as we had an one year old with us and we didn't have diapers, food, dress for the baby. Our alternate option given to us was on the next day so we had to stay in a hotel. I've submitted the meal costs along with this but this was totally avoidable had they only waited for a few minutes before taking the flight from YVR -> LHR.

I submitted a claim regarding a series of events during our travel with Air Canada, including: My wrongful denial of boarding despite arriving in accordance with the airline’s requirements. The loss and mishandling of my baggage. The subsequent denial of boarding to my wife, who was unable to travel because of the circumstances created by Air Canada’s actions. She became an unintended victim of the situation through no fault of her own. I was disappointed to receive a denial of my claim. After reviewing the circumstances, I believe the decision does not accurately reflect the facts of the case or Air Canada’s obligations toward its passengers. The consequences extended well beyond a missed flight. My wife lost her opportunity to travel, we incurred additional expenses, suffered considerable disruption to our plans, and experienced unnecessary stress. These losses were a direct result of the events that occurred at the airport. I respectfully ask that this matter be independently reviewed by your executive customer relations team. I believe the evidence will demonstrate that the denial of boarding, the baggage issues, and the resulting impact on my wife warrant reconsideration and appropriate compensation. My intention is not simply to pursue compensation but to seek a fair and reasonable resolution consistent with Air Canada’s commitment to customer service and accountability.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICES FROM AN AGENT AND A MANAGER THE DAY WHERE THE HEAD OF MANGER WAS OFF IT WAS 06-30-2026 A DAY OFF IN CANADA

From: Ahmed Bouzarif (Aero plan #373249317) & Habiba Bouzarif: Attachments: Boarding pass & Luggage tag Dear Air Canada Customer Relations, I am writing to formally complain about the unacceptable treatment my wife and I received from one of your front desk agents during our recent trip, as well as the handling of our baggage. The check-in agent treated us in a rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional manner. Instead of providing courteous customer service, we felt dismissed and poorly treated throughout the check-in process. This experience caused us unnecessary stress before our access to the plane got canceled and denied by a manager who took side with the agent pretending i yelled at her while i was just asking to get a manager to be involve solving the issue. What makes the situation even more concerning is that the agent said she is not here to break her back for us and she is doing us a favor lifting the 32 kg luggage and she said other vulgar word that i cannot say in an official complain (we will use what she said when needed) . She then got mad by screaming on us and refused doing services by leaving her desk and didn’t even take the time to stay on her spot until a manager come in and solve the issues, I was obligated to call for a manger to get us our luggage back while its gone thru the carrousel toward the plans. Because we were unable to resolve the issue with the agent, I requested to speak with a manager. Rather than listening to our concerns or attempting to resolve the situation, the manager sided with the agent version. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, the manager claimed that I was yelling, which I strongly dispute. I was simply asking to speak with a manager and seeking a fair resolution. We explained our concerns to the Manager Name "Amina" who for no reason denied our boarding saying that i was yelling you can always go back to the camera and investigate if i was yelling i only was asking for a manger to show up and solve the issue of course the manager sided with the agent This has caused significant harm, inconvenience, frustration, and worry. We expected much better customer service and greater care in handling our belongings, especially considering the luggage had already been misplaced and so far our luggage has not been retrieved and nobody in your company made any effort to give us our luggage back we consider this as a confiscation of our luggage by AIR CANADA. Our access to the plan was denied by the manager for a reason I don’t even know . I asked the manager at the time multiple questions: -Since we are misbehaving why, you didn’t call the security that way the security or police can make their own report for misbehaving she didn’t have any answer. -I asked also the manager why you agent left her desk and left us on our own not even trying to call a manger or call the security and deliberately sent our luggage thru the carrousel knowing that our luggage will be lost she didn’t have any answer. --I asked also the manager since according to her imaginary judgement i m the one misbehaving why is she denying my wife access to the plane since according to her my wife wasn't misbehaving or yelling, she didn't have an answer I told her that’s why I was asking for a manger to solve the problem not to deny us access to the flight, you can go back to the cameras and check this. We applied to everything they asked for and arbitrarily we have been denied access while the manager took our boarding pass and promises to make us a reservation for next day, we waited for 45 min she came back and said β€œoh sorry I made a mistake I cannot make the reservation for next flight and i shouldn't have promise you need to call reservation and make your own reservation” while 45 min ago she gave us the certitude and mispleaded us that we will be put on next flight by the company. We asked her for the responsible of the company present at the airport that day she said including another agent that there is nobody to talk to the Head of manager is not present that day. We waited more than 3 hours to have somebody help up get our luggage back, but we never got it back, we had no choices than getting a new ticket from a different company to get to our destination time was clicking because the next day was a family big event and we need to leave Montreal the same night to be in time for the event. We got a new ticket the same night with a different company 2 hours difference from our original departure with AIR CANADA. Until now we didn’t get our luggage back we spent a lot of money for new tickets business class and a lot of emotional harm to me and my wife I request that Air Canada: β€’ Investigate the conduct of the check-in agent and manager, β€’ address the unprofessional behavior we experienced. β€’ Provide an update on the status of our missing luggage and make every effort to recover it with NO CONDITION" as soon as possible. β€’ Offer appropriate compensation for the inconvenience and distress caused by both the poor customer service and the baggage mishandling. I hope Air Canada will take this complaint seriously and respond promptly with a resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Cancelled Flight - 30th Wedding Anniversary

I chose Air Canada specifically for my 30th wedding anniversary trip to Montreal β€” a milestone trip planned for months. We deliberately booked the early morning non-stop flight from Washington National (DCA) to Montreal-Trudeau on July 2nd so that we could arrive with a full day ahead of us. We had a complete itinerary scheduled for what was meant to be one of the most meaningful days we have shared in thirty years of marriage. Air Canada cancelled that flight the evening before departure. No meaningful remedy was offered β€” we were simply rebooked on a later flight and did not arrive at our hotel until 7:30 pm. 10 hours later. Under Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), if the disruption was within Air Canada's control and you arrived at your final destination three or more hours late, you are entitled to cash compensation β€” $400 CAD per person for a 3–6 hour delay for a large airline. Respectfully, Michael A. Orona

Formal Complaint – Flight AC1121 Delay (AEWNY6) – Compensation Request

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding my disrupted travel on Flight AC1121 from Toronto to Saskatoon on July 2, 2026 (Booking Reference: AEWNY6).The flight was originally scheduled for 8:15 a.m. but was repeatedly delayed and pushed to 11:00 a.m. with no clear explanation provided. This has caused major disruption to my schedule, wasted several hours of my time, and created significant inconvenience. At this point, I am not seeking explanations β€” I am seeking resolution. Given the extent of the delay and the lack of proper communication, I am requesting one of the following: Full or partial refund of my ticket, OR Appropriate monetary compensation under the Air Passenger Protection Regulations. This experience has been extremely disappointing and does not reflect the level of service expected from Air Canada. As a result of this disruption, I will also be reconsidering future travel with your airline. I expect this matter to be handled promptly and fairly. Sincerely, Fatima Arshad Booking Reference: AEWNY6 Flight: AC1121 Date: July 2, 2026

I was on hold with Air Canada for 2 hours when finding out at 6 am this morning (day of our direct flight to Toronto) that our flight had been cancelled! Nobody answered just left me on hold for 2 hrs so I hung the phone up. They changed our flight with Lufthansa, stop over in Frankfurt for 13 hour lay over until sun July 5 where flight is supposed to leave for Toronto at 10 am. No food voucher or hotel voucher! This is unacceptable. And nobody to talk to. I’m also missing a wedding
