Okay. That brings me to my second question.
This summer, my son went to Victoria. Owing to special circumstances, Air Canada asked him to give up his place, which meant he had to wait at an airport for 24 hours. For a young person, sleeping on an airport bench is no problem, but older people prefer greater comfort. In any case, my son accepted the offer. His ticket cost about $435, but he was offered $800.
Is it common industry practice to offer compensation above the cost of the ticket?
