Air Canada Vacations (ACV) has introduced an extensive suite of summer booking incentives to strengthen travel confidence and deliver added value for both travel advisors and their clients across Canada.
The limited-time campaign applies to bookings made now through August 2, 2026, for travel extending until April 30, 2027, giving travellers a longer planning window paired with flexible options.
Flexible Booking at the Core
AA key focus of the offer is giving travellers greater flexibility when making bookings. They can now benefit from free CareFlex travel protection and low deposits starting at $50.
These offers make it easier for travellers to lock in their plans without a large upfront commitment. Bookings during this period also earn double ACV&ME loyalty points, creating added value for future travel.
Sun, Cruise and Europe Deals
ACV is also spotlighting its most in-demand travel categories. For sun destinations, advisors can access a 2% bonus commission, a promotion running until June 28 and valid for departures through April 2027, helping drive competitive package options for travellers. The recent Air Canada and Unifor agreement also highlights ongoing efforts to enhance the overall passenger experience.
Cruise bookings are being incentivised through the “Cruise & Win Big” initiative. Advisors can unlock five-times loyalty points and enter draws to win a $1,000 future travel credit or Air Canada baggage set if they book for 2026 sailings by June 30.
For Europe trips, bookings made by July 5 for travel up to March 2027 come with 50% off CareFlex protection, helping ease concerns around planning long-haul travel.
Contests and Loyalty Programmes
ACV is also tapping into global sporting excitement with its “Kickoff to Takeoff” contest. Travel advisors earn one entry for each eligible booking, with additional bonus entries available when teams from booked destinations advance through the FIFA World Cup 2026 finals. Prizes range from $2,000 travel credits to bonus points, adding a gamified layer to peak booking season.
Meanwhile, the Groups Excellence Loyalty Program continues to reward advisors who book group travel by August 31, 2026, offering tiered status levels, including Silver, Gold, and Excellence, along with ongoing rewards and points accumulation.
