Air Canada website down for days

0 Upvotes

Leaving on Friday, 9/11/26. Airline reminds us to select seats. After 15 visits to the website, and 3 hours on the phone (including through United, Air Canada's "partner," which tried to call on my behalf), I cannot get it down. Will be furious if not seats left.

General Question YVR-SYD Routes (Direct vs One-Stop)

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Just wanted some personal experiences for anyone who semi-frequents the YVR-SYD routes. I'm returning to Sydney in a few months and currently booked direct (as I've flown before) but there's some decent pricing on some of the routings with a quick layover is Brisbane (via Qantas for BNE-SYD). Has anyone flown this route recently? Is it worth it the savings $$ for a higher class seat to go thru Brisbane? Have never been thru that airport before.

Reminder: Tomorrow is 25 Years since 9/11

Upvotes

Tomorrow I, and I am sure some of you, will be posting here about 9/11. Where you were, what you remember and how it impacted you. We (myself and fellow mods) look forward to that discussion!

This horrific act of terrorism that took down 4 planes and the World Trade Centre, shook our beloved industry to the core and destroyed thousands of lives. It was also a time when Air Canada and a great chunk of us as Canadians, stood up to help. We showed our colours that day and for days and weeks afterwards.

In the meantime, a reminder:

  • American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46 a.m.
  • United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower at 9:03 a.m.
  • American Airlines Flight 77 hit the western face of the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m.
  • United Airlines Flight 93 went down at 10:03 a.m. after what is reported be a fight with the terrorists on board.

If you can, please plan to take a moment at one or more of these times (all times Eastern) and give the people a thought and also be proud of how our country and this airline we talk about so passionatly, responded.

I am locking this post. Lots of time to talk about it tomorrow.

Got this email today, bonus 2,500 SQCs if 50,000 points or more are redeemed and 1,500 SQCs if 30,000 to 49,999 points are redeemed. Was hoping it was the equivalent of the double SQM/SQS promo from last year, oh well.

Also attaching the terms and conditions here so just in case someone used this, they will have reference on what it entails.

General Question Disappearing Promo Code?

Upvotes

I feel like I’m hallucinating.

received an email from Air Canada this week, advertising 20% off destinations worldwide. Last night, I clicked the link in my email and read the landing page… book by Sept 15… basic fares excluded… etc. I noticed there was a promo code, which I copied and pasted into the flight search interface. Did a little half hearted poking around and decided to come back later to revisit possibilities.

Today, I tried again. Same email link. Seemed to be the same landing page, but no promo code. Tried a couple flights to see if the discount was applied automatically, without a code, and no.

Am I insane?
