As Jeff Macke said "are the stock markets open? Then it's a good time to sell airline stocks!"

This was circa late 2000s

I’d like to know how to get the cyber Monday code as well, in plain English, not some secret code.

Don't be silly, AC can't tell everyone about their sales! What if lots of people wanted to spend money on AC??? No no no, these things have to be kept secret.

Next you'll be imagining that AC would start to "advertise"! Good grief ....

So the Cyber Monday 15% deal has been posted on the aircanada.com site here.

Funny enough, a fare I was tracking jumped up 10% at Sunday midnight, so the only savings I would net would be 5%.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence...

So it ends 11:59 MDT. I assume that’s Mountain Daylight Time, which ended ... almost a month ago.

When I picked my outbound it returned me to the main page with both destination and locale amended to different continents. Prices seemed poor (as in high) too so meh whatever AC.

​​usually a boxing day sale as well.

I recall bonus aeroplan miles for St. Patrick's day.

Any other annual sales/bonuses?

Not working for me: When trying to enter the Cybermonday2017 code I get this error:
We weren’t able to find any flights that match what you’re looking for. You can:
  • enter alternate travel dates;
  • select 'My dates are flexible' if the checkbox is available below;
  • select another airport if your departure or arrival city offers more than one option (e.g. New York: La Guardia and Newark airports);
  • check our Online Timetable for detailed information on flight schedules.
In addition, although some destinations may not be offered at aircanada.com, one of our Star Alliance partners may fly there. Contact Air Canada Reservations to see if your route is available.

Then when checking that my routes (like YVR-LHR, or YVR-CPH) are eligible even Vancouver is not recognized. Tried to book 2 eligible routes within the date window and get booted out each time. Same with a new browser and an icognito window.
Another IT success AC.

I had exactly the same experience trying to book to Asia (neither HKG or TPE). Something is seriously wrong with AC's programming of this promotion!

UPDATE: I tried another computer (desktop) and was able to successfully complete the booking, even getting an open jaw to HKG and back from TPE. Something about my laptop/browser was incompatible with AC's booking software for today's cybersale. Only weird thing was that I was unable to select seats, which were automatically assigned (and which I can't seem to change online post booking).
