Air Canada New Fees: What You Need to Know




Getting ready to fly Air Canada? Buckle up for some unwelcome surprises.
In a move that's sure to ruffle the feathers of budget-conscious travelers, Air Canada has announced a slew of new fees that are leaving many passengers in a tailspin. Not content with charging us an arm and a leg for tickets, they're now trying to squeeze every last dime out of us at every turn. It's like a game of fee roulette, where every click or check-in could trigger a surprise expense.

The most outrageous new fee? A whopping $30 to check a bag. Yes, you read that right. The days of rolling your suitcase down the jet bridge without a care in the world are long gone. Now, Air Canada wants a piece of the luggage action. And if you're traveling with multiple bags, better start saving up or leave behind your favorite pair of shoes.

But wait, there's more! If you want to choose your seat, be prepared to fork over $25. That's right, gone are the days of sneaking a peek at the seating chart and snagging a window seat without paying a premium. Now, Air Canada wants to monetize even the most basic aspects of flying.

  • Carry-on baggage fees: A staggering $25 for bringing a second carry-on bag onto the plane. So, say goodbye to your trusty backpack and hello to paying for the privilege of carrying your essentials.
  • Checked baggage fees: As mentioned earlier, $30 for the first checked bag. Get ready to travel light or face the wrath of Air Canada's baggage fee czar.
  • Seat selection fees: $25 for choosing your seat. Want to sit next to your travel companion? Pay up or risk being separated by an aisle.
  • Pet fees: A whopping $125 for the pleasure of bringing your furry friend along. So, unless your pet is a certified emotional support animal, be prepared to shell out a small fortune if you want to fly with your beloved companion.
  • Change fees: $100 to change your flight. Had a sudden change of plans? Better start saving up or cancel your trip altogether.

It's clear that Air Canada is trying to nickel and dime its customers to the max. They're turning the once-affordable experience of flying into a luxury reserved for those with deep pockets. And it's not just the money; it's the principle of the thing.

Air Canada, we urge you to reconsider these new fees. Stop treating your customers like ATMs and start focusing on providing a decent travel experience. Until then, we're left with no choice but to boycott your airline and seek out more customer-friendly options.

Remember, the power is in our hands. By speaking out against these ridiculous fees, we can force Air Canada to listen. Let's show them that we're not willing to be taken for granted. Together, we can ground these outrageous fees and demand better from the airlines.
