Fuel surcharges now included in the price of travel within North America
Air Canada is making its pricing more transparent by including fuel surcharges directly into the price of a ticket for all North American travel.
This initiative, brought on partly by a decrease in fuel prices, will provide customers with simple, transparent fares that consistently match the lowest in the airline industry.
This is yet another example of Air Canada's commitment to providing the best products and services to meet its customers' needs.
Learn more about Air Canada's response to decreasing fuel prices. We seem to have new definitions (obfuscation) - what is "the price of travel" and what are "simple, transparent fares"?
Seems like newspeak to me!
As a customer, the price of travel is what AC bills to my credit card, including fares, taxes, service charges, surcharges, etc.
