Long wait times and delays at Canadian airports have become the norm since COVID-19 public health measures have eased and travel has restarted.

On Tuesday, Toronto Pearson’s baggage claim was a nightmare, overrun with lost and forgotten items.

The federal government recently announced new rules that are coming to help Canadians with cancelled and delayed flights.

Airlines will be required to provide passengers with either a refund or rebooking, at the passenger’s choice, when there is a flight cancellation, or a lengthy delay, due to a situation outside the airline’s control that prevents it from ensuring that passengers complete their itinerary within a reasonable time.
