Missing your Air Canada flight can be stressful, but many of these situations can be avoided with a little preparation. One of the most common mistakes is arriving too late at the airport. Always allow extra time for security checks and unforeseen delays, especially during peak travel times.

Another mistake is not confirming flight details in advance. Double-check your flight status and terminal information before heading to the airport. Misunderstanding time zones or changes in flight schedules can also lead to missed departures.

Failing to understand Air Canada's missed flight policy is another key error. If you miss your flight due to personal reasons, you may be responsible for rebooking fees. If it's caused by an airline issue, compensation options could be available.

To prevent costly mistakes, always plan ahead, stay informed, and reach out to customer service as soon as possible if you miss your flight.
