The old website is in the process of being "retired"
Leaving the below here for now for the sake of posterity and reference.
Accessing the "old" website.

At the moment (09-Sep-2016) accessing the old and functional website is still possible.

The procedure to access the old website requires a few steps.

1. Clear all aircanada.com related cookies and browser cache.
2. Go to this URL. https://www.aircanada.com/en/go-beta.html
3. Click on book travel Button at the top left of the screen.

Alternatively for some clicking on one the following links will work for some as well.

https://www.aircanada.com/aco/flights.do or;
https://www.aircanada.com/en/home.ht...ialSignon=true

"A digital transformation underway at Air Canada is reshaping the customer experience in almost every way"
Most of the old website URLs now redirect to the new "beta" website.

New Air Canada Website!

It's the little things right?

Look closely at this photo. I see what looks like a thin, white matters-pad-type thing on the seat below the comforter and pillow.

I know many of us have reported that other carriers have something like this either in the form of a seat cover, sheet or somewhat thicker covering.

Having been lucky enough on a few occasions to use a spare comforter from an empty seat to line the bed/pod, I can say it is vastly more comfortable than being directly on the seat.

I would guess this is just "promotional"

Ha. Good catch. I too use a spare comforter as my bedsheet. On other *A carriers they actually have bedsheets as you've pointed out.

I like the overall feel, but my god, why is there such a low-resolution photo of the 787 on their front page?

I also feel like while it's more "modern and fresh" you have to go through more tabs/pages to find some things... although I should be fair and give them a bit more time... maybe they will fix it right

eUpgrades

It seems like someone was already thinking about one of adam.smith's suggestions in his AC website thread.

While still logged in on the AC site, on the page "How to Request your eUpgrade", if you click the link, it takes you directly to the old "Request an eUpgrade" page where I see that I am actually logged in. Very exciting. Well, Ok, you get my point.


Also, there is clear info on eUps to share if you are SE100K




Plus other topics on the right

Ah, while my login on Safari on the Mac worked fine, I'm only
Safari 8.0.7
OSx 10.10.4

Will eventually test other browsers and other devices.

I noticed that too. It does look nicer with the seat cover. However, unless AC plans on offering this, I personally think it is deceptive to promote something you don't offer. And a picture is part of the offering.

Same here.

How they could launch without mobile Safari functionality is beyond my comprehension.
