      Air Passenger Rights & Compensation for Delayed or Cancelled Flights

      If your WestJet flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under European Union regulations, specifically EU 261/2004 (also known as EC 261). This regulation applies if your flight departs from an airport within the European Union, or if you are flying to the EU on a European carrier. For WestJet passengers, EU 261 rights apply if your flight originated within the EU, regardless of your destination. However, if your WestJet flight departed from a non-EU country and was heading to the EU, EU 261 does not apply, as WestJet is not an EU-based airline.

      Under EC 261, you may be eligible for compensation if your flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, or if your flight is cancelled without sufficient notice. Compensation amounts are determined by the distance of your flight:

      • For flights up to 1,500 km: €250 per passenger
      • For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: €400 per passenger
      • For flights over 3,500 km: €600 per passenger

      Additionally, EC 261 provides rights to assistance such as meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation, and transport when applicable. If you experience a long delay or cancellation, you should keep all travel documents and document your communications with the airline to support your compensation claim.

      It is important to note that compensation can be claimed for flights affected by delays or cancellations due to reasons within the airline’s control, such as technical issues or crew shortages. Extraordinary circumstances, like severe weather or air traffic control strikes, are generally exempt from compensation.
