About Air Canada Gift Cards

The Air Canada Gift Card is a stored-value card similar to a pre-paid card or gift certificate. It can be used to purchase airline tickets or travel options on Air Canada, Air Canada Express (i.e. Air Georgian, Sky Regional, Exploits Valley Air Services and Jazz Aviation LP) and Air Canada Rouge.  Air Canada Gift Cards are available in both plastic and eGift card format.

You can purchase Air Canada Gift Cards online in the following denominations:

• In Canadian funds: individual gift  cards can be purchased in amounts ranging from $25 to $10,000
• in U.S. funds: individual gift cards can be purchased in amounts ranging from $25 to $2,000.

Currently, you can purchase an Air Canada Gift Card online. Gift cards purchased from sources other than Air Canada and participating retailers may not be valid or may have less redeemable value than promised by an unauthorized seller. Air Canada is not responsible for honouring invalid gift cards or values.

An Air Canada Gift Card is VOID if altered or obtained fraudulently.

Air Canada Gift Cards can be used to purchase a flight, and to pay for a variety of travel options, fees and services, including:

• seat selection,
• change fees,
• upgrades,
• additional checked baggage fees,
• pet handling fees,
• unaccompanied minor fees

At this time, the Air Canada Gift card cannot be used toward the payment of:

• onboard purchases (e.g. headsets, beverages, duty-free items)
• merchandise purchased at the Air Canada eBoutique
• Aeroplan or other reward travel tickets
• Air Canada Vacations packages
• tickets purchased as part of a group booking.
• hotel reservations, car rentals or RBC travel insurance
• another gift card
• a Flight Pass purchase.

For ticket purchases, you can use up to two (2) gift cards provided that the total cost of the ticket purchase is covered fully by the (2) two gift cards.

When purchasing a seat or travel option for an existing reservation, only one form of payment will be accepted. 

For purchases involving multiple passengers/gift cards it is advisable to make separate bookings.

It’s also important to know that you cannot consolidate the value of multiple gift cards onto a single one.
