Hi everyone,

I have a flight booked with Air Canada in July, and a friend who works there mentioned that there might be a possible work stoppage involving ground crews around that time.

I’m not sure how accurate this is, so I wanted to ask if anyone else has heard anything similar or knows what’s going on with the negotiations.

Is this just a rumour, or is there actually a chance of a work stoppage this summer that could affect flights?

I’m booking a comfort refundable fare (international flight) and $170 for a preferred seat. In the event that I cancel, will I be refunded the $170 for the seat? The flight itself is fully refundable but I am unclear on whether the seats are. I called Air Canada, and the person I spoke with did not give me a definitive answer. The agent said I could fill out a form and submit it. When I asked if I would be refunded after submitting the form, she said that Air Canada would review and decide.

Has anybody been successful at receiving a seat fees refund on a comfort fare on a voluntary cancellation?

Haven’t flown a connecting flight in a while. I’m flying YYZ-LAX on Air Canada, 6hr layover in LA, then LAX-TPE on EVA Air. Anyone know if I’ll have to pick up my bags at LAX then recheck with EVA, or will airline automatically do that for me?

I posted last night that I was having some difficulty booking tickets with AC and it was deleted as it was seen as a complaint even though it was meant to seek help. I'm an Aeroplan member and trying to book a trip using a companion pass earned through my Aeroplan AMEX. I tried last night using different browsers and credit cards with no luck, tried again this morning on my office computer, again using different browsers and no luck. Cleared my cache of cookies and keep getting this error message:

"We're sorry, we weren't able to process your payment. Please try again. If the issue persists, please try another form of payment. (BKRW-EIP-620)"

I'm using my Aeroplan AMEX and there is a $0 balance on the card. Any suggestions on what I can do differently would be appreciated. Trying to treat my daughter to a trip.

Anyone know if and what the technical issue was that forced the cancellation of AC825 today? CGHPT. Thanks.

Flying on this plane tomorrow and I found this old comment about this and it’s sister ex-SA plane not having seat back screens https://www.reddit.com/r/aircanada/s/D3JxlmtEyU

I just passed by the Maple leaf Lounge at YUL during my connection, so didn’t have time to go in. But it looked like it was open. Does anyone know of it is open and how is compared to before?

Hoping someone can clarify what this link actually means — is Air Canada still flying the same route, with the same Max 8, but just calling it Rouge?

Recently we did a round-trip to Europe on companion pass which was 499+surcharges. However I don't see any SQC deposited for my companion (spouse). My understanding was she should still get SQC at (499+790)\*4 (flex fare). I could not find anything in the companion pass terms and conditions about this.

This should have helped her hit 50K for the year.

Is companion pass not eligible for SQC?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi, can any kind soul here provide insight into eUpgrade chances for premium economy? I don’t have enough eUp credits for J but I might do a cash LMU to J if premium is full.

Hi - trying to gauge likelihood of eUps working for my family of three, so wondering about R space but more importantly, how much J space is showing as available. I'm SE. Any tips would be helpful (or if it's just a pipe dream, let me know as I can bite the bullet and pay for latitude). Would rather pay for Flex and burn more eUps, otherwise they will expire unused - I have a lot. I've never not had eUps work on TATL flights but I haven't flown into FRA before.

YVR - FRA (AC 838) on August 6

FRA - YVR (AC 839) on August 18

Would love to book by tomorrow to get the 20% discount. Many thanks in advance for any help or insights!

I only noticed the damage after arriving at the hotel.

submitted a online ticket and it says to go back to the airport within 7 days.

but I'm still in thy middle of my trip and no way to get back to that terminal in time to get a in person report filed.

anyone else had this issue

wondering what's the best next step or if I'm just going to have to eat the cost of a repair when I'm back home....

I asked an Air Canada pilot if they had trading cards and was told “not yet, but they are coming soon. Maybe in the coming weeks?”

The timeline was not confidently given but this is still exciting! I have not seen this officially announced anywhere.

Did a interview few days ago and was told I’d only know if I got the job for the position at the middle or end of June instead of the usual 2-3 days the interviewer said. They also said not to worry and it doesn’t mean I didn’t get it… anyone know the answer as to why it’ll take that long?

I am flying with my dog in under the plane at the end of June. I am super nervous about this. Can anyone share how their experience was?
