About Air Canada eUpgrades
eUpgrades allow you to access better cabins on Air Canada flights, and are based on credits. Use your eUpgrade credits on any eligible Air Canada, Air Canada Express, and Air Canada Rouge itinerary or flight segment across our network which features a Business Class or Premium Economy cabin.
Request eUpgrades easily
You can make upgrade requests wherever you complete your booking, whether online, with a travel agent, or elsewhere.
Earn eUpgrades through your status
Your Aeroplan Elite Status automatically gets you a certain number of eUpgrade credits, and you can earn more.
Request eUpgrades for companions
You can request an upgrade for your eUpgrade nominee even when they’re not travelling with you, or for yourself and a travel companion.
How to request your eUpgrade
Whether you wish to upgrade your entire one-way itinerary, or choose to upgrade only certain flight segments, requesting an eUpgrade is easy.
You can request your eUpgrade:
Through your eUpgrade account online or by contacting Air Canada Reservations.
When you check in online, on your mobile device, or at an airport kiosk.
With an agent at the airport.
At the departure gate on your day of travel.
Learn about the eUpgrade credit requirements and the applicable clearance window for requesting an upgrade. Once your clearance window opens, if upgrade space is available, your upgrade will be confirmed. If no upgrade space is available, you will be waitlisted.
