Air Travel Complaints Commissioner
Welcome to the Canadian Transportation Agency Complaints - Home The Agency's Role Jurisdiction of the Agency Types of Complaints General Consumer Information Canadian Air Carrier Customer Service Departments On February 23, 2005, Finance Minister Ralph Goodale announced, in connection with the Budget, that the position of Air Travel Complaints Commissioner would be eliminated, but the Canadian Transportation Agency would retain responsibility for the air travel complaints program. If you have unresolved issues with your air carrier, you can rest assured that there is a place you will be heard. The Canadian Transportation Agency is available to deal with specific complaints about your travel experiences. As the economic regulator of the air transportation industry in Canada, we administer the Canada Transportation Act . We aim to ensure that Canadian and foreign airlines meet their obligations under the law. The Canadian airline industry has seen major changes, and therefore our role has become more important. That role includes handling consumer complaints, monitoring air fares and addressing violations of the Act in these and other areas. Quality of Service If you have been unable to resolve an issue with your airline, you may bring your complaint to the Agency, which will try to resolve complaints on issues such as quality of service either directly with you and the airline or in cooperation with other government bodies. Terms and Conditions of Carriage Canadian and foreign air carriers must publish and make available the terms and conditions that apply to your flight and they must comply with them. For example, carriers must establish policies to address such concerns as lost baggage, involuntary denied boarding (bumping), and the transportation of persons with disabilities and minors. These terms and conditions must be reasonable and not unduly discriminatory. If you think such terms and conditions were not met or are unreasonable you can complain to the Agency. Air Fares and Cargo Rates On routes within Canada served by only one carrier and its affiliates, we investigate complaints to determine that fares and rates are reasonable, and that carriers are offering an adequate range of fares and rates to travellers and shippers. Accessible Transportation We resolve complaints and work to ensure that air carriers remove undue obstacles to the mobility of persons with disabilities.

So much culture, history, and fun define California. Youll need a vacation rental to maximize your trip satisfaction. Everything California There is an incredible amount of diversity in California, from cultures, to climate, to geography, from high-tech to historical. An unimaginable number of things to do and experience in the Golden State exists. So come and enjoy a vacation with everything about California! California Key Areas Northern and Central California includes the North Coast, Shasta Cascade, San Francisco and Bay Areas, Central Coast, Gold Country, High Sierra, and Central Valley regions. The North Coast region contains striking redwood tree forests, like the Redwood National and Stake Parks in Crescent City. State park and forest areas make for prime camping, hiking, and fishing, such as the desolate Six Rivers National Forest in Orleans. You can view lava tubes or waterski at Shasta Lake in the Shasta Cascade region. Ripe vineyards in the Napa Valley area and California wine tours are famous; there is even a one-day event that tours both Muir Woods to see redwoods and wine country. The San Francisco/Bay Area is a wonderful blend of quiet coastal areas like Angel Island State Park and sophisticated city traversed by cable car as an option. San Jose, true to its high-technology nature, offers The Tech Museum of Innovation, with science and engineering exhibits. The Central Valley is steeped in agriculture and has multiple food factory tours available; history is also a theme represented by the San Joaquin County Historical Museum, with a Native American Yokuts display. The 1874 California state capitol building in Sacramento is part of Gold Country, where one can explore Highway 49 just like the miners. Experience the mountain region of the High Sierra, with the incredible views from Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the continental United States, and the Lake Tahoe year-round resort area. Memorable seascapes and resort areas are found on the Central Coast, as is the specialty shopping and dining on Cannery Row in Monterey. Southern California includes the Desert, Los Angeles County, Orange County, Inland Empire, and San Diego County regions. Discover the sand dunes and cliffs eroded through time in the Desert region, set against shiny resort cities and areas like Palm Springs. Take a movie or television tour in the Los Angeles area, or visit Chinatown. Maybe youll decide to stroll or drive down the 20-mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard. Scuba divers and snorkelers probe the underwater shipwrecks of the Catalina Island/Casino Point Underwater Park. Touch more culture of the Far East through the Japanese American Cultural Center. Listen and see live classical, Jazz, and rock artists perform under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl. Orange County, home of Disneyland, is a highly sought-after vacation destination. Crystal Cove State Park has a great combination of beach, surf, and hiking and horseback opportunities, while tubers ride the white-water rapids at Knotts Berry Farm. The Inland Empire region is where you will find the California Citrus State Historic Park, detailing the background of the Southern California citrus industry. Big Bear Lake is a prominent resort area with skiing, snowboarding, golf, and many other activities at play. Peek at the Route 66 Territory Gift Shop in LaVerne, or peer at the centuries of glass at the Historical Glass Museum in Redlands. The San Diego area presents a very temperate climate region with strong Hispanic roots. In North San Diego County lies the largest mission in California, Mission San Luis Rey, built in 1798, where you can tour the church and grounds of the Franciscan Friars of California. Eight casinos around the San Diego region invite gamers, while an excellent variety of restaurant cuisines invite diners. Dont forget about the world-renowned San Diego Zoo! Sites and tours to see Battery Point Lighthouse, Crescent City Grace Hudson Museum and Sun House, Ukiah McCloud River Falls McArthur-Burney Falls State Park Alcatraz Island Paramount Theatre, Oakland Golden Gate Bridge Mission San Juan Bautista Hearst Castle, San Simeon Herman Goelitz Candy Company, Fairfield The Pizza Farm, Madera Empire Mine State Historic Park, Grass Valley The Getty Center Little Grand Canyon, Lake Forest Badwater, Death Valley National Park Orange Empire Railway Museum Del Mar Racetrack VacationRentals.com is quickly becoming one of the largest and most useful specialized travel site on the internet for finding vacation rental homes.
