The holiday season is a wonderful opportunity to bring people together, whether near or far. Air Canada prepares to make every step of the journey easier and more enjoyable for the 2.2 million customers travelling this holiday season. Air Canada has front-line employees ready to greet customers at the airport.
Additionally, Air Canada is getting into the holiday spirit, providing complimentary snacks to customers as they greet them at the busiest airports across Canada. The merriment will also take to the skies with over 35 new holiday-themed movies and entertainment onboard for the whole family.
The comfort and joy will continue beyond the holiday season with complimentary beer and wine becoming a permanent offering for those flying in economy on flights in Canada and to the US.
In the meantime, Air Canada looks forward to welcoming customers at the airport and helping everyone navigate the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. To prepare, Air Canada is sharing helpful holiday travel tips to get folks on their way this holiday season:
