Quick answer
A missed connection on a single Porter Airlines booking is judged by your arrival delay at your final destination: 3 or more hours late for a reason within the airline's control may entitle each passenger to $125 (3–6 h), $250 (6–9 h) or $500 (9 h+) CAD — Porter Airlines is a small carrier under APPR. Self-transfer itineraries on separate bookings are not covered.
Compensation: Up to $1,000 CAD
Compensation is based on your delay arriving at your final destination, not the connecting airport. Keep all receipts for expenses incurred during the rebooking process.
Who is responsible for my missed connection?
If your flights were booked on a single ticket/itinerary, the operating airline of the delayed first flight is typically responsible. They must rebook you and may owe compensation based on your delay at final destination.
What if my flights were on separate tickets?
If you booked separate tickets, the first airline is only responsible for that leg. This is riskier for passengers. Always try to book connections on a single itinerary when possible.
Am I entitled to hotel and meals?
Yes, if you're stranded overnight due to a missed connection caused by the airline, they must provide or reimburse reasonable accommodation and meals while you wait for rebooking.
How is compensation calculated for missed connections?
Compensation is based on the delay reaching your final destination, not the connecting city. A 2-hour delay at the connection that causes a 6-hour delay at destination qualifies for the higher compensation tier.
