Customer No Shows

When customers No-Show their flight and have not notified Air Canada or their Travel Agent, they forfeit the value of their ticket. 

To prevent a No Show, the reservation must be cancelled at least one hour prior to departure or within 3 hours after the flight departure.  This includes re-protected flights by AC or the travel agents following a Flight Disruption.

The policy applies to:

  • 014 tickets (AC Group tickets are excluded)
  • Itineraries that include AC marketed and operated flights and AC* marketed/operated by other airlines flights

When a customer is a No Show:

  • For all fare brands1, the No Show flight and all remaining AC or AC* flights are automatically cancelled.
  • As per fare rules, all remaining AC and AC* coupons will be cancelled and marked revoked.   A revoked status is the same as flown.  It has no more value, which means it is not available as future travel credit or AC Wallet.

If customers have checked-in, they must, in this order:

  • Cancel their check-in.  The cancel check-in option is shown in the check-in application
  • Cancel or modify their reservation.

Taxes

Non-refundable taxes, fees and charges on revoked coupons remain non-refundable. Please refer to the Refundable Tax Guide for more tax information.
