Quick answer
If Flair Airlines denied you boarding for a reason within its control (such as overselling), APPR entitles you to $900 (arrival delay under 6 h), $1,800 (6–9 h) or $2,400 (9 h+) CAD — and the airline must generally pay before your replacement flight departs where possible.
Compensation: Up to $2,400 CAD
Denied boarding compensation is the highest under APPR. Airlines must first ask for volunteers before involuntarily denying boarding. Document everything that happens at the gate.
How much compensation for denied boarding?
Denied boarding compensation is $900 for delays under 6 hours, $1,800 for 6-9 hours, and $2,400 for 9+ hours. This is significantly higher than delay compensation because it's almost always within airline control.
What if I volunteered to give up my seat?
If you voluntarily gave up your seat, you're entitled to whatever the airline offered, not the APPR compensation. Before volunteering, ask what they're offering and negotiate if needed.
Can they deny boarding for other reasons?
Yes, airlines can deny boarding for safety reasons, missing documents, or arriving late to the gate. In these cases, compensation doesn't apply. Overbooking denials always qualify for compensation.
What should I do at the gate if denied?
Ask for written confirmation of the denial and reason. Take notes and photos. Request the airline book you on the next available flight. Keep all receipts for expenses during the wait.
