An Ontario woman, Deanne Trinka, and her family were left stranded in the Dominican Republic after Flair Airlines canceled their return flight to Toronto due to bad weather. The flight was supposed to depart on August 17 but was canceled because of a storm in Toronto. Flair informed the passengers that the next available flight wouldn’t be for two weeks. Although Flair eventually rebooked the group on other airlines and covered the costs, Trinka’s group incurred additional expenses of $1,200 to $1,500 for food and accommodations. Trinka, a former Flair flight attendant, expressed disappointment in how the airline handled the situation, and an air passenger rights advocate suggested that passengers may be entitled to further compensation.
