Who is eligible for Air Canada’s Concierge service?

In which cities are Concierge services available?

How do I contact a Concierge?

  • Remotely:
    • For SE: From the app, click your virtual Aeroplan Card and Customer Support. Email and phone numbers for Super Elite are shown.
      • There are per-airport email aliases as well, unpublished, but following an obvious pattern if you interact with them.
    • For Others: You don't.
  • At the airport:
    • They are wearing black AC uniforms.
    • The following Canadian airports are known to have accessible, landside, offices, all relatively nearby the check in desks: YVR, YYC, YYZ, YOW, YUL
    • Others: Good luck. Priority check in agent, or MLL agents, may be able to trigger one to materialize.

Reasonable accomodations to make it work.

I have had a few great experiences over many years with Concierge service doing what they could to make it work when there was some difficulty. I've had a lost ebook reader kept for me for a week. Another trip at security I found a bag of jewelry from a previous trip that I didn't want take across multiple borders held in their safe for my return. I've also had the Concierge (in HKG and DEL) talk with their counterpart at another airline and make sure tight connections worked or could be adjusted. These were a big part of my value of the program.

We have come a long way from the days when the program was a member of the Clef d' Or Concierge Guild and would coordinate reservations and event tickets and act almost like a personal assistant. There are major constraints in staff resources now and the program has greatly changed.
I do think reasonable expectations for reasonable accomodations in extraordinary situations is fair.
To keep something of not great value in the concierge office safe for a while is fair. If staff availability allows them more it can be done sometimes but not when they are swamped.
