Which rules cover a flight at YYZ

Leaving YYZ. APPR applies to every departure on this site's routes from here, whichever airline is operating. EU261, UK261 reach some of them as well, depending on where the flight is going or who operates it.

Arriving at YYZ. Coming the other way the rules do not line up with the airport, so this is by route: APPR covers every one of the 22 inbound flights here, whatever the airline; EU261 covers 7 of the 22, whatever the airline; US DOT covers 7 of the 22, whatever the airline; UK261 covers 1 of the 22, 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 YYZ. 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 YYZ

Under the EU and UK rules the amount is set by the great-circle distance to the final destination, not by the fare. From YYZ the routes here fall into 3 bands: 8 over 3,500 km, 6 1,500 to 3,500 km, 8 up to 1,500 km. Compensation starts once you arrive 3 hours late at the final destination. On a flight over 3,500 km, the first hour band is reduced: €300 under EU261 and £260 under UK261 for 3 to 4 hours late, the full amount from 4 hours. 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.

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 YYZ; 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.
