Terms and conditions

The Standard seat charge is per passenger and applies to each individual one-way flight segment in your itinerary. Flight segments are identified by a change in flight number, with each new flight number representing a flight segment. Standard seat selection does not apply to codeshare flights.

Please note that you may be moved from your Standard seat without notice in the event of an involuntary schedule or airport change (e.g. flight disruption, cancellation), or for any other reason that requires Air Canada to move you prior to departure or during the flight. If you are moved from your Standard seat for one of these reasons, you may request a refund for your Standard seat charges. If you change your seat selection from a Standard to a Preferred seat, additional charges will apply.

Your Standard seat charge will not be refunded, in whole or in part, if:

  • you change your seat selection in a way that results in a lower Standard seat charge;
  • you cancel your reservation more than 24 hours after booking
