It's obvious that Air Canada is trying to avoid setting precedent for what qualifies for compensation here.
Canada has a foul domestic airline industry. More times than not from what I've looked at and read - it's cheaper to fly domestic in Canada by picking an international flight that has a layover in the USA than it is to fly solely domestic in Canada - with all the extra fees, charges, etc. etc. etc.
Just a side effect of the government and oligopolies in Canada turning the screws trying to extract more and more money out of their citizens.
- abid786 2y agoThis hasn't been true for a long time now, more so for major routes. Just to check, I looked up prices for flights from LAX-JFK and compared them to a flight from Vancouver to Toronto, both in the middle of July. The Canadian flight was $18 cheaper, if you exclude low cost carriers. If you include LCCs, the Canadian option was about 10% more expensive. Canadian oligopolies are very real and exist in telecom, grocery, banking, energy and mass media, the airline industry has gotten slightly better over the past decade
