30% discount code on flights to China - Code not working

Trying to book but keep getting the following:

The promotion code provided cannot be used with the itinerary you have selected. Please verify your information and try again.

Anyone have any luck with this promo?

TIA

And I thought it was just another Mac incompatibility! Sale period very limited though.

The promo code only applies to flights leaving from SOME provinces and territories, not all. It does not apply to flights leaving from i.e. ONTARIO, QUEBEC, etc.

Guess AC read your complaint the other day about most of the bonuses being in the central/east. This one works from BC and Alberta airports I guess.

This is obviously an ad hoc response to Hainan Airlines' seat sale from Canada to China: C$499 (+taxes) YYZ-PEK and similar sale fare to other cities including PVG, CTU, CAN and SZX. Business class YYZ-PEK is only C$2,150 return plus taxes.

The savings partially offset the $400 fuel surcharge (e.g. YWG-PEK)

They're probably feeling the heat! Which is good... Serves AC well.
