Sidenote to answer my question. Being the anal person I am I created an excel spreadsheet that shows you how much you actually save in dollars and %. As expected australia is the best and asia asides China. Business class provides the closest to the actual % saved (cuz the fees are so small compared to the fare). Feel free to try it out! I've locked the cells asides A, B, and C so feel free to enter in routes to see what your actual savings are....this is set for a code of 25%. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1754012002

I've got a promo code after complaining about a cancelled flight due to AC mechanical issue. Was just wondering what the best routes are? I know that the promotional code is taken off the base fare so looking to book somewhere that includes the fuel surcharge in the base fare eg Australia does. Some places in Asia used to but it seems they now have a separate fuel surcharge. Any tips on places to go to maximize your 25% off? Thanks!
Long haul J is clearly the greatest return in my opinion. TPAC is a winner, or TATL if you avoid places like LHR with insane (outbound) taxes.
Normally has to be used (booked not taken) within a year of course, so depends what your plans are.
Also remember trying to change the flights won’t yield a 25% discount on changes and trying to get the code back if cancelled can be a challenge. So flights you are almost definitely taking, life permitting, are best.

Not sure if or how it would work, but you could try combining this with a CC partner benefit (some free, some 50%) and really stretch that savings!

AC Flight Disruption Promotion code with 2 allocations
Hi,
Received a discount code today due to a flight interruption and in the terms, it states it is good for 2 allocations as follows:
Received a discount code today due to a flight interruption and in the terms, it states it is good for 2 allocations as follows:
The maximum number of passengers per booking is 2.
The maximum number of allocations is 2.
An allocation is defined as a single passenger trip.
For Example - An Authorization Id with 2 allocations permits the following options:
1 Booking with 2 passengers.
2 Bookings with 1 passenger each
——
I've never noticed similar wording previously, and this I believe implies that if I use the code for a single passenger booking, I should be able to use it a second time as well?
Earlier in the terms it describes it as a ‘one-time use promotion code’
Anyone have experience with a ‘2 allocation’ discount code and making 2 separate single passenger discounted bookings using the same code?

Wow a flashedma post?! Am I in the twilight zone?
I actually just received the exact same thing two days ago 20% off for a long delay. I could make a latitude booking to find out right now if it works for second pax if you'd like, do I get the code back if I refund?

Thanks for the info — but don’t do it!!! I seem to recall having a discount code become non-usable in the past after a booking was made (in PE) and cancelled within 24 hr window, so I’d be concerned the same thing might bungle up yours even with a latitude booking.

I’ve had no trouble using both allocations on two 1-pax bookings. As a matter of fact, I traveled on one of the bookings myself and a coworker used the other allocation.

Each of us received a '2 Allocation' 25% code..meaning I ended up with 8 of them ...I have been using them individually as well as to book flights with Mrs. Plumber.... for example YOW-TPE-YOW in PE for C$1300.
So, like others, I am confirming that you can use them on individual bookings.
I am now down to my last one already...

Unless OP's came from a difference sender, if it's the same as the one I received, perhaps the thread should be changed.

I got the same offer as 24left, but no Costa Rica water falls picture... just a blue box (although it says Costa Rica at the bottom-right hand corner). 
As for eligibility, I haven't booked an AC flight with any regularity (booked 1 in October and 1 in December), so perhaps it is an incentive?
