Air Canada Booking Classes

Discussion in 'Air Canada | Aeroplan' started by rehoult, Feb 4, 2011.

Like all airlines, seats on Air Canada are booked into fare 'buckets'. These buckets correspond not only to a given class
of seat on the plane, but also a certain set of rules (refundable or not, change fees, minimum stay, etc...). For ease of
use, Air Canada groups bunches of buckets with similar rules together.

As of February 4, 2011, the fare buckets are as follows:
