Flight delays and cancellations This content can be expanded DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS CAUSED BY US If your flight is delayed or cancelled for reasons within our control, as defined under the APPR, you may be eligible to receive compensation in the amount of: * $400 CAD if the passenger arrives 3 hours or more hours late, but less than 6 hours; * $700 CAD if the passenger arrives 6 or more hours late, but less than 9 hours; and * $1,000 CAD if the passenger arrives 9 or more hours late. If your delay is 2 or more hours after your scheduled departure for reasons within our control, we’ll provide you with: * A snack and a drink, depending on how long you’ve waited, the time of day, and your location * Access to communication devices If the delay or cancellation to your original flight will require you to stay overnight, we’ll offer you reasonable hotel accommodations at our expense.

Contact American to file a claim We will respond to your request within 30 days and provide you with compensation or let you know why the delay or cancellation doesn’t qualify. In the event of a delay or cancellation we will immediately begin looking for alternate travel arrangements.

We will assign seats, at no charge, to a child (under 14) and accompanying passenger at the earliest opportunity.

If seats are not assigned prior to boarding, we’ll ask for volunteers to move seats at the gate, and then again on board the plane before take-off, if necessary. * Update your trip * Contact Reservations If we’re unable to arrange seats within the required distance of each other, we’ll speak with the affected passengers about their options. The passengers may choose to sit farther apart, or decide not to travel at all. We’ll provide alternate travel options or a refund, whichever is preferred by the passengers. *For planes where the layout does not allow seating children under 5, the passengers should be seated in the same row, separated only by the aisle.
