Air Canada flight delay compensation
I recently flew from Dublin to Seattle via Toronto with Air Canada. The flights (both Air Canada) were on a single ticket, with a transfer in Toronto. The outbound flight from Dublin was approximately 2 1/2 hrs late, which meant we missed our connecting flight from Toronto to Seattle. While the flight from Dublin to…

My daughter and I went on a holiday in 2010. The flight was cancelled and we travelled the following day with the same airline. I claimed compensation for both of us, using the MSE templates and two weeks later, was paid out 600 Euro each!!!
