The old website is in the process of being "retired"
Leaving the below here for now for the sake of posterity and reference.
Most of the old website URLs now redirect to the new "beta" website.

How do you like the new Air Canada website?
Pretty sexy eh? I like the handholding through searching inventory.
I'm sure the improvements are not just skin deep...

Ok, looks like I was accessing it before it was ready for prime time. It was giving me the mobile version while using firefox, chrome, edge, safari sending desktop agent strings.
New skin... again, hope it's more than skin deep.

Why does everything 'web 2.0' have to be so BIG? Looks ridiculous on my 30" display.
Seat planner looks the same and there are bugs with the aircraft type detail window that pops up.

I will give it this: Easier on my tablet-sized touchscreen for sure. My fat finger can select the correct dates. Totally sexy in grey circa 2013.

Thi is what happens when someone designs a website without properly researching and reviewing the Information Architecture with the stakeholders (users) of it.
If I click on Altitude, I want to see the Altitude website - or at least have a LINK that goes to it, instead of just information pages.
