Today, Air Canada and Hopper announced a partnership that will provide passengers additional freedom and flexibility to alter their travel arrangements when making reservations on aircanada.com (Canadian version). Travelers can now purchase additional peace of mind by adding Cancel for Any Reason to qualifying non-refundable fare types booked on the Air Canada website.
Customers can simply cancel their flight up to 24 hours before to scheduled departure using Hopper’s Cancel for Any Reason feature. Depending on the level of coverage chosen, a refund of 80 or 100% of the initial eligible booking is given upon cancellation and is applied right away to the user’s preferred payment method – there is no need to wait or take any additional actions. For Standard, Flex, Premium Economy Lowest, and Business Class Lowest fares, Cancel for Any Reason is an option.
The best assortment of flights at competitive prices is a tenet of Air Canada’s customer commitment. To do this, we offer a menu of branded fares, each with unique features that allow clients to customize their trip to meet their needs. However, we are also aware that plans can change, so we are happy to collaborate with a cutting-edge Canadian travel technology company like Hopper to offer Cancel for Any Reason, giving customers more flexibility and assurance when making reservations, according to Mark Galardo, executive vice president of revenue and network planning at Air Canada.
Dakota Smith, president and co-founder of Hopper, stated, “We are delighted to collaborate with Air Canada, which continues to lead the airline industry with innovative new features responding to its customers’ requirements in today’s travel climate. “We can offer Air Canada a seamless integration with our ancillary products through Hopper Cloud, our B2B initiative, which not only benefits travelers but also promotes business growth.”
It is simple to include Cancel for Any Reason on an Air Canada trip. Customers will immediately be given the option to select a Cancel for Any Reason plan for eligible fare types when they choose an eligible fare on aircanada.com. If they later decide they need to cancel the trip, they can do so on the My Bookings portion of the Air Canada website and, subject to any applicable terms and conditions, will get their refund. The usual Air Canada Refund and Cancellation Policy is available in addition to the Cancel for Any Reason option.
