What is Air Canada Cancellation Policy?

Air Canada offers flexibility with its cancellation policy, which varies depending on the type of ticket purchased and when the cancellation is made. Below is a breakdown of their policy:

1. 24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation

Air Canada allows all passengers to cancel their tickets for a full refund within 24 hours of booking, regardless of fare type.

The flight must have been booked at least seven days before the scheduled departure to qualify.

2. Refundable Tickets

Fully refundable tickets can be canceled at any time before the flight’s departure for a full refund to the original payment method.

Refund requests can be made online or by contacting Air Canada’s customer service.

3. Non-Refundable Tickets

Non-refundable tickets are not eligible for a cash refund but may qualify for a travel credit if canceled before departure.

Travel credits can be used for future bookings and are typically valid for one year from the original booking date.

4. Award Tickets (Aeroplan Miles)

Flights booked with Aeroplan miles can be canceled, with miles redeposited into your account. A redeposit fee may apply unless you have Aeroplan Elite Status.
