New polling results suggest many people boarding flights this holiday season donB次元官网网址檛 know about the Liberal governmentB次元官网网址檚 new regime outlining air passengersB次元官网网址� rights.
A Canadian Automobile Association-commissioned poll being made public today found that just over half of respondents said they hadnB次元官网网址檛 heard or read anything about the rules aiming to protect flyers caught in travel nightmares.
The Leger poll of 1,517 respondents was conducted between Nov. 27 and Dec. 4, but canB次元官网网址檛 be assigned a margin of error because internet-based polls are not considered random samples.
The first set of passenger-rights rules landed in mid-July and required airlines to compensate and respond to tarmac delays, denied boardings and lost or damaged luggage.
