Canadian tribunal orders Flair Airlines to pay $780 for spoiled seafood in passenger's luggage due to delayed baggage.

A Canadian tribunal has ordered Flair Airlines to pay $780 to a passenger, Brian Vu, for spoiled seafood that was in his luggage when it was delayed for several days. The discount carrier must also pay baggage fees, interest, and legal costs. Flair argued it was not liable as its actions did not cause the spoilage and because its contract with passengers bars them from packing perishable items in checked bags. However, the tribunal said carriers are responsible for checked bags once they accept them.
