Last month the carrier introduced—for the first time in the US—its Unlimited Flight Pass to Canada, which provides unlimited air travel for a flat monthly rate. Flight Passes are available at two fare levels: Tango Plus, Air Canada's everyday “value fare,” and Latitude, which entitles the holder to free reservation changes and complimentary upgrades to Executive Class. Pass price is determined by the size of the geographic region covered.

To celebrate, Air Canada is offering an introductory price (until May 7) starting at US $1,657 per month for a three- or six-month Tango Plus month pass. In addition, Air Canada is offering automatic top-tier elite frequent flyer status to customers who purchase a six-month pass at the Latitude fare level, which starts at $2,360 per month. Pass prices include airport fees, charges, and taxes. Customers can learn more about how to select and use Flight Passes by taking the interactive virtual tour, “What's a Flight Pass?” at aircanada.com. The carrier has 53 US gateways.

Also available are 10-, 20-, and 30-trip passes, good for three or six months, as are passes valid for 10 or 20 one-way trips over a 12-month period. For US registered businesses, Air Canada also offers a Flight Pass to Canada in a multi user Small Business Pass version. It’s valid for six months and provides 30 flight credits for up to eight different employees of one company.

This Flight Pass to Canada provides 100% Aeroplan status mile accumulation for every mile flown in addition to a purchase incentive of one Aeroplan mile for every $3 spent. Moreover, Unlimited Flight Pass holders receive 10,000 Status Miles per month at the Tango Plus rate and 15,000 Status Miles per month at the Latitude rate. Aeroplan miles are redeemable on all Star Alliance partner carriers.
