The Air Passenger Protection Regulations set out minimum standards for all carriers to follow and requirements to help the public understand their rights.

A new set of protections are now in effect for Canadian air passengers, but one expert says he expects they won't actually do much for the average traveler.

The complaints found some agents yelled at passengers, paraded their underwear in public during baggage searches and threatened them with being able to make their flight.

This is the second phase of passenger-rights rules. The first ones landed in mid-July.

The airlines say the new rules would cost carriers too much money and drive up the cost of flying.

It started with a confrontation with a flight attendant over garbage.

The airlines told Global News that the incident was 'unfortunate,' but nothing more than a 'seating error.'

A passenger aboard an AirAsia flight said the crew attempted to force passengers off by blasting the air conditioning, causing the cabin to fill with a fog-like substance.

Canadians can now weigh in on what they want to see in an air passenger bill of rights.
