Air Canada is in the process of changing its reservation system, a project we’re undertaking to improve your travel experience. During this transition period, there will be some temporary changes to how Air Canada Altitude members use their eUpgrade credits. Learn more.
Your booking window is determined by your Air Canada Altitude status, the destination, and the fare purchased. It is based on the local time at the departure city. This applies to each individual flight segment, including connections.
To determine the booking window for Premium Rouge for flights within North America, including flights to Sun destinations, please reference charts in the “Upgrades to Business Class” section. For upgrades to international destinations, including Europe, South America, and Asia, please reference charts in the “Upgrades to Premium Economy” section.
