These updates are the latest made by the airline as part of its 'More to Travel' initiative, a series of ongoing improvements underway across its travel products and services. 

More Menu Items to Suit Diverse Needs and Tastes

• Addition of Earth's Own oat milk, a Canadian non-dairy milk alternative—a first for a Canadian airline.

  • Blue Moon Belgian White and Hop Valley IPA craft beers, as well as Vizzy Strawberry Orange Mimosa Hard Seltzer.

More Family Fun with New Mattel Content

Last month, Skytrax named Air Canada the Most Family Friendly Airline for 2023. Now, it will be the only Canadian airline to offer some of the most popular kids' shorts for in-flight entertainment through an extensive partnership with Mattel. The entire suite of shows and movies adds dozens of hours of additional kids' content to Air Canada's award-winning in-flight entertainment, with even more new content partners coming soon.

More Convenience and More Features for Air Canada App

The latest upgrades to the Air Canada App, available for free through the Apple App Store or Google Play, allow for quick and easy access to important travel information throughout the journey including:

• Mobile boarding passes that are easier to use at security and during boarding with seamless updates
• Passport details of Aeroplan members linked to their profile, streamlining international check-in
• Easier airport navigation with integrated maps of key Air Canada and Star Alliance airports
• Ability for Air Canada Signature Class and Premium Economy customers to pre-order in-flight meals on select international flights departing Canada

Bringing More to Travel

Since the spring, Air Canada has been rolling out product and service upgrades across the travel experience with new ways to stay connected, improvements to lounges, with more to come. This includes a partnership with Bell, announced in May, which launched with free on-board Wi-Fi texting for Aeroplan members.

The airline also recently added three new premium airport lounges, bringing Air Canada's network of lounges to 29 worldwide. This includes a new Maple Leaf Lounge at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the new Aspire | Air Canada Café at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) in Toronto's convenient downtown terminal, and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Terminal A co-located within the new United Club. These initiatives are part of Air Canada's commitment to evolve its premium offerings to provide the highest level of service and even more comfort and convenience to customers.
