A tribunal has ordered Flair Airlines to fork over hundreds of dollars in compensation to a man whose crab meat and fish cakes went bad in his luggage when it was delayed for several days.
VICTORIA -
The tardy luggage contained sea cucumbers - leathery marine animals - and dandelion root as well as the crab and fish, all of which went bad, amounting to a loss of $522, the traveller said. “The Canadian Transportation Agency has repeatedly held that if an airline accepts checked baggage then the airline assumes liability for the baggage even if the airline has not agreed to transport certain items,” Mennie wrote.
The ruling confirms that “fancy contractual language” does not override federal rules, said Gabor Lukacs, president of the Air Passenger Rights advocacy group.
