Competition Analysis
Travelers flying in business class can check up to two 50-pound bags free of charge.
Business class tickets also include priority baggage services that make checking in
—and collecting luggage—much more streamlined. Priority bags are marked with
special tags so they’ll be the first to arrive on the carousel for Air Canada Signature
Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, Premium Rouge customers and
eligible Air Canada Elite members
Alcohol and Food is also different; Business class passengers have access to an
impressive wine list from some of the world’s top vineyards—including the likes of
Gerard Bertrand and Drappier Champagne House—on flights serving lunch or
dinner. Passengers can also choose from a variety of domestic beer, hard liquor, or
cocktails.
