Rebooking
Rebooking and Refund
For all types of flight delays or cancellations, Wasaya will ensure that passengers complete their itinerary (that is, reach their final destination). Once a delay reaches 3 hours, Wasaya will also offer to rebook the passenger on the next available flight.
If a flight delay or cancellation is within Wasaya Airways control, or within our control and required for safety purposes, Wasaya will rebook passengers in the same class of service.
Wasaya Airways will provide the passenger with a confirmed reservation that
(I) is for a flight to that point of origin, and
(ii) accommodates the passenger’s travel needs
(b) in any other case, refund the unused portion of the ticket.
Refund - If the alternate travel arrangements offered do not accommodate the passenger’s travel needs (e.g., there is no longer any purpose to the travel), Wasaya Airways will refund of their ticket, as well, passengers are entitled to compensation for inconvenience in the amount of $125 cash (Canadian dollars) or $200 credit voucher. This compensation is only required if the passenger is informed 14 days or less before their original departure time.
