Do you worry about getting compensated for your delayed Air Canada flight? You can file a claim for Air Canada Flight Delay Compensation if your flight with them was unexpectedly delayed, or if your connection was cancelled because of an earlier delayed arrival time. There is a lot of confusion when there are flight delays. Air Canada has provided clear instructions to make the compensation process easier and reduce confusion. However, it's crucial to remember that the airlines will only ever be required to reimburse their passengers if the delay was brought on by poor airline management and lasted three hours or longer.
