Air Canada Offers Free Changes and Seat Selection

Air Canada is waiving some standard fees for new flight bookings for a limited time.

Advisors and customers who booked tickets between 27AUG and 12SEP, 2025 will have the added flexibility of no change fees and free Standard Seat selection. The offer applies to the main line, Air Canada Rouge and Air Canada Express flights.

This goodwill gesture in the wake of the Air Canada flight attendants’ strike disruption does come with some restrictions. The free seat selection can be used on any fare type but must be completed on or before 12SEPT.

The change fee is subject to availability, and a fare difference may apply. There’s only one change allowed within the validity period of the ticket, and this only applies to the types of fares that allow ticket changes in the first place.
