  1. To whom are complaints addressed?

Service related complaints or inquiries should be addressed directly with the airline. Examples of service related items include problems with:

  • check-in, reservations, accommodations, incurred expenses;
  • late or lost luggage;
  • seat pitch (distance between your seat and the seat in front of your seat);
  • the content and quality of snack/meal/beverage service;
  • delays;
  • rude or discourteous staff;
  • provision of amenities or passenger entertainment, such as lack of pillows or blankets, magazines, or newspapers;
  • cabin temperature; and
  • air fares.

If you have unresolved issues with your airline, the Canadian Transportation Agency and its Air Travel Complaints Commissioner are available to deal with specific complaints about your travel experiences.
