R.PR.A.Air Canada Introduces Lowest Price Guarantee to Assure Customers of Best Available Price On-Line
MONTREAL, Feb. 12, 2013, 2013 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Air Canada is expanding its
Lowest Price Guarantee to give customers added assurance they are
getting the lowest price available on-line within a 24-hour period when
they book flights on Air Canada. The guarantee applies to any
destination Air Canada serves for tickets bought in Canada on aircanada.com.
"Air Canada's new Lowest Price Guarantee means customers can be certain
they will always get the best price for their Air Canada flight at
aircanada.com. With the proliferation of travel websites the market can
be confusing, so to make it easy for customers and give them confidence
they are getting the lowest price available online we are expanding our
existing North American fare guarantee to cover our entire global
network. Our promise to our customers is that by going to aircanada.com
they are guaranteed of always finding the lowest prices for wherever we
fly and if they find the same flight elsewhere in Canada at a lower
price within 24 hours we will provide a $50 travel credit plus the
price difference," said Ben Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief
Commercial Officer at Air Canada.
Here are the highlights of how our Lowest Price Guarantee works.
-- It is available to all consumers and travel agencies purchasing
tickets in Canada for Canadian originating flights on Air
Canada, Air Canada rouge or Air Canada Express flights operated
by Sky Regional or Jazz Aviation LP through
aircanada.com
-- If, within 24 hours of purchase, the customer finds a cheaper
price for the same flight, itinerary and fare brand on another
Canadian online travel retailer, then Air Canada will provide a
travel credit for $50 plus the price difference, which can be
applied towards future travel. Air Canada's policy of allowing
customers to cancel any flight and receive a full refund within
24 hours of booking remains in effect.
-- Customers and travel agencies who find a lower price can easily
notify Air Canada on-line and are not required to buy the lower
fare.
-- The program covers all travel within Air Canada's network on
flights marketed and operated by Air Canada, Air Canada rouge
and Air Canada Express flights. It is available for all
published retail fares sold in Canada by any Canadian online
retail distribution channel that is an accredited vendor of Air
Canada
-- Travel Agents also have access to the Lowest Price Guarantee
when booking on Air Canada's travel agency website
