Code sharing refers to a practice through which a flight operated by one airline is jointly marketed as a flight by one or more other airlines. Air Canada, through its codeshare partnerships, places its designator code (AC) on flights operated by the codeshare partners, which allows us to provide you with worldwide services through an extensive network of convenient flight connections.
You can tell that a flight is operated by a codeshare partner by looking for the "Operated by" note appearing after each codeshare flight when you are selecting flights for purchase on aircanada.com. Your electronic itinerary/receipt also provides the name of the operating carrier of each flight.
Because each airline has its own terms and conditions of carriage, whenever you are travelling on a flight operated by one of Air Canada's codeshare partners, you may be subject to terms and conditions that differ from those of Air Canada. It is therefore important to familiarize yourself with the operating carrier's terms and conditions, including those regarding:
- Check-in times and procedures
- Carry-on and checked baggage
- Excess baggage fees
- Sports and hunting equipment
- Musical instruments
- Fragile and perishable items
- Infants and children
- Passengers with special needs
- Traveling with your pet
- In-flight services
- Special meals
- Airport lounge access
For the specific terms and conditions of any Air Canada codeshare partner or other airline sold on aircanada.com, visit the operating carrier's website directly:
