MISINFORMATION ALERT: CBC Regrettably, CBC has been regurgitating Air Canada's press release. This is inaccurate. 1) Under the APPR, AC must rebook passengers on competitor airlines if it cannot rebook them on their own. 2) The Carriage by Air Act provides more protection.

Did you receive such a message from Air Canada? If so, DO NOT take a refund. Instead, search for alternative flights on your own, and buy a new flight WITHOUT accepting a refund -- then make Air Canada pay for the costs of your new flight.
