I am sure I've stumbled onto something that AC have not yet announced... Seems like they have introduced a new kind of discount J fare for travel in Canada during the summer months.
These are booked in C class, fare basis is CSUMMER, Sat night stay required, 30 days max stay, changes are permitted at $145 before and after departure.
YYZ-YVR $1798
YYZ-YYC/YEG $1506
YVR-YUL $1939
YVR-YOW $1879
YVR-YHZ $2140
YYZ-YOW $413
YYZ-YUL $454
YYC-YOW $1585
YYZ-YWG $955
YYZ-YHZ $841
YYZ-YYJ $1840
YVR-YYC $555
YVR-YEG $648
YVR-YWG $1058
These fares are valid for travel from Jun 22 - Aug 30. If you think these fares look familar, think of RootsAir! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gifC class also has 25% Q bonus for COSI think After Burner convinced them.
FT rules!These fares are so Air Canada can compete with Canada 3000's new business class, perhaps?This is good news. But I assume these fares are temporary. And as Empress pointed out, SEs would be better off upgrading V class fares (assuming an unlimited supply of upgrades).They are CAD $$... pretty good deal if are not Elite/SuperElite and can't upgrade. There is a 7 days advance purchase requirement on these.
There is no point for SE to get these fares because they can just buy a V/H (which also has a 7 days advance purchase requirement) and upgrade and since both upgrade and this fare comes from the same inventory, they are both the same.some of those fares are pretty good. i presume they are return?These fares do show up on the AC booking site now, as C-class. I was booking some people out from YEG and noticed the new category for the first time this morning. They hadn't been there as a bookable option last week when I was making other bookings.
Pricing is interesting, $1150 return taxes and fees included, versus $702 YEG-YOW in the lowest category of economy fare (Q,L). An upgradable V fare is $850 return. So I suppose it becomes a futher enticement to take a front cabin seat at time of booking for non SEs by paying $300 more.
Normally, what class-of-service bonus is given for C-class? I assume it is 25% also.AB: These fares are only good for travel up to and including Aug 30. For us SEs, if we can't upgrade, that means there are no C class available which also mean this particular discount J fare is also not available. Since the rules for the V fare and C fare is identical, it would be real silly for us to get the higher one. However, this will be real nice for those who can't upgrade normally or for E who are willing to pay an extra couple hundred to get their upgrades confirmed. This is most likely another attempt on AC's part to get more business travellers.Thanks Empress, and for the additional info too.Are these prices in Canadian, or US$.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
