Air Canada Boosts In-Flight Offerings; Free Wine/Beer on ALL Routes + Great Muskoka Ship Experiences

Air Canada continues to raise the bar on the Economy Class travel experience with free beer, wine, and exclusive Canadian-made snacks now available for all customers on all flights, including routes to Mexico and the Caribbean.  

“Launched on September 1, these upgrades reflect the airline’s commitment to delivering award-winning service for all customers, and a sharpened focus on leisure travellers,” the airline said.

Air Canada introduced free wine and beer on US and domestic flights last year.

“As part of our commitment to elevating the onboard experience, we’re delighted to introduce even more exciting new options to our menus,” said Scott O’Leary, Vice President, Loyalty & Product at Air Canada. “These upgrades offer something for everyone and proudly showcase Canadian brands so that our customers can sit back, relax and kick-start their travels no matter where they’re going.” 

New Sips and Snacks to Savour 

• Morning flights (before 10 a.m.): A favourite in homes across Canada, MadeGood Mornings Cinnamon Bun Soft Baked Oat Bars join the line-up of complimentary snacks onboard, alongside Canadian favourites TWIGZ Craft Pretzels and Leclerc’s Celebration Cookies.
• Toronto-Downtown Billy Bishop flights (after 10:30 a.m.): From Canadian brand Greenhouse, known for its organic and plant-based products, complimentary Greenhouse Ginger Defence Wellness Shots will provide an energizing kick to our offerings. These shots are also featured in Air Canada’s premium snack baskets and Bistro menu.
• Expanded Air Canada Bistro – Now featuring more Canadian-made choices, from Summer Fresh Hummus & Crackers and Quaker Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cups to bold new TWIGZ Sour Cream & Onion Pretzels and fan-favourite Smarties.
• Crisp New Pour – With Heineken 0.0, Air Canada becomes the only North American airline to serve a non-alcoholic beer inflight, complementing its system-wide free beer and wine offering. (A pretty good non-alcoholic beer, and a welcome offering for those watching their alcohol intake.)

“The airline continues to set new benchmarks for comfort and convenience in travel with its best-in-class product and service offerings, ” officials said. “In addition to rolling upgrades to its food and beverage offering, Air Canada has introduced a revamped mobile app, expanded in-flight entertainment, refreshed and newly refurbished and opened lounges, efficient airport processes, the best-in-class Aeroplan loyalty program, and seamless intermodal travel options all on one ticket. Further, fast, free Wi-Fi, sponsored by Bell, is available for Aeroplan Members on flights across North America and to-and-from Sun destinations, in Mexico and the Caribbean.
