Flight compensation Air Canada:
Warsaw — Copenhagen

How to get compensated from Air Canada on Warsaw (WAW) - Copenhagen (CPH)

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Canada failed to meet its timetable for your Warsaw → Copenhagen flight, EU law backs you up.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 666 km, Air Canada is bound by a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Air Canada from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

What are the conditions for Air Canada to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Copenhagen.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Warsaw airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Canada (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
