How to access and use your Status Pass
As an Aeroplan 50K, 75K, or Super Elite member, you have the option of choosing Status Pass through Select Benefits. Give a status pass to anyone you want – a friend, a family member, or even a colleague. They can use it to enjoy premium travel services on flights operated by Air Canada when they’re travelling without you. They can even share the love – the premium travel services they get with a status pass extend to up to 9 people on their reservation.
Premium travel services available to those travelling on a Status Pass:
Priority Check-in
3 Complimentary Checked Bags, with Priority Baggage Handling
Priority Security Clearance
Maple Leaf Lounge Access
