Air Canada today announced a partnership with Hopper, giving the airline’s customers more freedom and flexibility to change their travel plans when booking on aircanada.com (Canadian edition). For a fee, travellers can now add Cancel for Any Reason to eligible non-refundable fare types booked on the Air Canada website, offering additional peace of mind.

Cancel for Any Reason, powered by Hopper, allows customers to easily cancel their flight up to 24 hours before scheduled departure. Depending on the level of coverage purchased, upon cancellation, a refund of 80 or 100 per cent of the original eligible booking is issued immediately to the user's preferred payment method – with no additional wait time or extra steps needed. Cancel for Any Reason is available for Standard, Flex, Premium Economy Lowest and Business Class Lowest fares.

Adding Cancel for Any Reason to a trip with Air Canada is easy. When customers select an eligible fare on aircanada.com, they will be automatically offered the option to choose a Cancel for Any Reason plan for eligible fare types. Should they later need to cancel the trip, they can do so on the My Bookings page of the Air Canada website and receive their refund subject to applicable terms and conditions. The Cancel for Any Reason feature is offered in addition to the standard Air Canada Refund and Cancellation Policy.
