Just booked a stopover rate at Sheraton Gateway for $21.00. No brainer. Was on a J ticket.

? Business tickets are supposed to be free

So are Aeroplan tickets.
When I booked a stopover hotel I was given two choices.
One for a couple $$ and another nicer hotel for about $40.
J ticket.

When we booked Aeroplan tickets (same itin as AC) we were not offered stopover (but were with AC). I didn't know Aeroplan was part of the stopover program. Yes J/Premium rouge tickets offer free stopover. We have not been offered other options for a slight fee.

Wait, so its paid J only?

No, they're also offered for lower fares, but not necessarily "free".

Why don't you just look at AC's site? https://www.aircanada.com/en/traveli...ller/stopover/

EDI-YYZ-BDA in N + B on stop-over
 

I have a trip next month EDI-YYZ-BDA booked in N for the first leg and B for second leg. Using the stop-over program some hotels at YYZ were for free, others required a supplement. Paid $65 for Sheraton Gateway T3 YYZ.
The program was offered during the on-line booking process. No issues.:)
^Impressed with with ACr & AC in trying to encourage INTL travellers to transit via Canada. ( My alternative was on BA via LGW Eng.:td:)

Has anyone done the stopover program in YVR?

Which hotels were offered?

I've stayed at the Holiday Inn near the MINI dealership several times (no other hotel options were offered online), and a relative has stayed at The Sandman (she had a choice of three from which to choose).

Air canada hotel stopover
 

Just wondering if anybody has used the hotel stopover option yet and what are the pros and cons? I know it says rooms start at $49 but was wondering if all the hotels are around that price or nowhere near or if it's only for airport hotels. Interested in info from Toronto airport

did you check here

and here

I searched it but never seen any results. Thanks. Thread done lol

I used it all the time when travelling to Bogota, usually there are 3 hotels to pick and I pick Sheraton by T3. I travel in J so I get the hotel for free, and hotel is absolutely worth it even if it's $49. If you opt hotel airport it will cost you $100+

Goodluck!

I just booked my YVR hotel stop over.

I was offered the choice of:
Holiday Inn Airport
Sandman Inn Airport
Sandman Signature Richmond

For myself booking (Revenue J): $0 for Holiday Inn & Sandman Inn, $6 for Sandman Signature Richmond

For my wife (Reward J): add $50 to the above prices.

We went with the $0 booking option.

For the sake of comparison, here was what I was recently offered at YYZ with a Tango/Rouge economy revenue ticket:

Sandman Signature - $103
Quality Suites - $107
Sheraton Renaissance - $108
Holiday Inn - $122
Sheraton Gateway - $133

Rates are tax-included. They seem to represent about a 30-50% discount off the rack rate. Depending on what corporate or other discounts you have access to, that may or may not be a good deal. YMMV.
