Which rules cover a flight at YEG
Leaving YEG. APPR applies to every departure on this site's routes from here, whichever airline is operating.
Arriving at YEG. Coming the other way the rules do not line up with the airport, so this is by route: APPR covers the one inbound flight here, whatever the airline; nothing else reaches an arrival here.
The trap on an inbound flight is that EU261 and UK261 follow the airline when the flight is arriving from outside, while they follow the airport on the way out — so a return leg can be uncovered when the outbound one was covered, or covered for a reason that has nothing to do with YEG. A claim is judged on the flight you were actually on. Each route page below sets out both directions.
What that pays, by distance from YEG
Neither the EU nor the UK rules reach any flight at YEG, in either direction, so distance sets nothing here. Canada's rules ignore distance and go by how late you arrive and how big the airline is: $400 at 3 hours, rising to $1,000 at 9 hours with a large airline, in Canadian dollars.
| Flight out of YEG to | Distance | Band | What covers that flight, and what it pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto YYZ | 2,689 km | 1,500 to 3,500 km | APPR $400–$1,000 |
Amounts are per passenger for a delay the airline is responsible for, read off the rule's own table at this distance. Where two are shown, the first is for arriving 3 to 4 hours late and the second from 4 hours — the reduction the EU and UK rules apply over 3,500 km. This column is the flight out of YEG; the return can be covered by something else, and each route page sets out both directions.
If the airline says no
A refused claim on a flight to, from or within Canada goes to the Canadian Transportation Agency, which publishes complaint volumes by airline — those figures are on the airline pages. Whichever body it is, it is the second step: write to the operating airline first, keep the reply, and claim for free — the fee comparison shows what a claim company would take out of the same payment.
