Air Canada - We’re in the business of you (email Oct 3 2019)

Received today.
If this is a generic email to anyone who has booked a flight, then it's a generic email to anyone who has booked a flight.

However, current marketing technology allows for some customization. Sure, when you book a ticket, and depending on the cabin, you might see add-on offers for the MLL or AC Bistro, on On My Way. On the trip confirmation page of the booking with the PNR, you would see options for hotel and car rental at destination.

In the app - when it was still alive - you might see info about lounge access and wifi onboard your next flight, neither of which have been accurate for many of my trips and those of others (e.g. access to the Signature Suite because I booked an International Business Class ticket....which departs from YVR).

Anyway, it's always nice to see Air Canada giving its email some exercise.








And yes, there is a link. The page is nice and covers all the different options.

Also




Mods - I thought we had a thread for AC communications. Feel free to move/merge.

I got it too and just rolled my eyes. After what I’ve been through with AC over the last few months, anything that suggests they’re in it for me is laughable. Utter crap!

Got the same email yesterday. I looked into the airport transfer. Used dates for an upcoming itinerary. I typically pay apx $47 flat rate for a prebooked car (not Uber) to the airport. Tip extra.

This link generated a variety of options starting with UP Express. Taxi, limo etc started at $115 and went up to >$225. So much for taking care of me. Didn’t bother to put in return date/time.

I misread that as "We're in your business!" ... GDPR on the brain I guess

Think they were more accurate with "We're not happy till you're not happy"

"We have it in for you" came to mind.

Anyway, I cannot parse this. Anyone cares to explain what "the business of you" means?

I think it's more like "the business of (%*#ing) you"...

Indeed there is a verb missing. :-)

Well there you go. Mystery solved.
Maybe when I have time, I can go looking for the missing verb. I'm sure it's in another AC email.

Shocking. Not that Air Canada sends emails, shocking that otherwise intelligent adults read them. Swipe, gone and move on.

It seems that AC is not in the business of me.
