Air Canada has had a really rough week. Air Canada flight attendants went on strike as of Saturday, August 16, 2025, as part of a pay dispute (or more accurately, they were locked out, after issuing a strike warning). That ended up lasting for nearly four days. The government tried to force flight attendants to return to work, but they initially refused, before ultimately agreeing to mediation.
For any of the hundreds of thousands of passengers who were impacted by the strike, Air Canada has at least made a positive announcement with regards to the extent to which the airline will take care of expenses that have been incurred…
Air Canada states that claims must be supported with receipts, and submitted through the carrier’s customer relations portal. Air Canada will address the claims as quickly as possible, but expects it could take up to six weeks to process all claims.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
