To be fair to Air Canada...............virtually any change will be considered an "upgrade". The IT is a joke, it's almost as bad as their customer service or perception around CBC studios.

Maybe, but remember that this is the same company that recently built a "new" website by slapping an (ugly) new coat of paint on top of the old one, yet fixed none of the numerous underlying problems and created a few new ones.

Is it a poorly designed website in the age of digital disruption? Yes
Could it have been significantly better from both design and function POV? Yes
But it sure as heck is way better than that old butt 90s website (design wise)
