Cancellation options

We know how stressful it can be when travel plans get interrupted. Depending on what kind of booking you have, you may have multiple options for processing a cancellation.

If you booked with a travel agent or any online travel agency (for example, Expedia or Priceline), kindly contact them directly for changes or cancellations. Each partner has a unique booking system that we are unable to access in order to adjust your booking.

Cancellations outside of Air Canada's control

If Air Canada has already cancelled your booking, and the cancellation is outside of Air Canada's control (for example, due to the impacts of COVID-19, government travel advisories and/or health and safety concerns), you have two expanded options to choose from:

  1. Air Canada Travel Voucher – Transfer the remaining value of all tickets in a booking and associated services to an Air Canada Travel Voucher. The voucher has no expiry date, is fully transferable and can be used multiple times. For more information about the Air Canada Travel Voucher, please click here.
  2. Aeroplan points – Convert and transfer the remaining value of all tickets and associated services in a booking, minus any taxes, into Aeroplan points, and get an additional 65% bonus miles.

If you purchased a non-refundable fare, please note that in accordance with government regulations, non-refundable bookings that are cancelled due to the impacts of COVID-19, government travel advisories and/or health and safety concerns are outside of Air Canada's control and ineligible for a refund.

If you purchased a refundable fare, you have the additional option of returning the remaining refundable value of all tickets and associated services in a booking, minus any applicable fees, back to your original form of payment.
