The new air passenger protection rules mean disgruntled travelers could get up to $2,400 if they’re bumped from an overbooked flight or $2,100 if the luggage is lost or damaged.
Airlines have tried to quash the rules in federal court but the new standards will be imposed tomorrow, July 15.

Come December, phase two of the new passenger protections will also require an air carrier to compensate passengers for flight delays and cancellations.

Airlines that fail to adhere to these new standards will be subject to fines of up to $25,000 per incident by the Canadian Transport Agency.
