I just see no point in wasting my or AC's time when we're still more than 6 months away from the current expiry date.
I'm still 99.9% sure there will be another blanket extension for everyone, and I'm quite happy to wait until March 15. If at that point it turns out I'm wrong, I'll look at what I actually haven't used and write in about them.

Yeah for you that makes sense. For me... I mean I'd probably book an Easter trip to Toronto if I could... But I'm not worried about Y space evaporating any time soon.

I still have 11 segments Ontario to Florida no idea when they were originally set to expire 😂😂 they have been extended to March 31/22. And with the current National travel advisory against non-essential travel still in effect I can’t see that being the actual end point of the expiration: this along with the USA still not opening the land border, I imagine they will be extended. Although I have zero intention of traveling to FL in the next few months : there is also only so much time of my kid (who lives in Fl) can get off to come and visit
I imagine many of them will go to waste unfortunately

I bought a World Travel Pass to Europe Feb 2020 to commute to my other home in Switzerland. Never had a chance to use it since Covid shut down AC flights to ZRH & GVA a few weeks later. I just spoke to a concierge at YYZ via the SuperElite line to see what could be done to extend my pass. They conferred with their help desk who confirmed that ALL PASSES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED TO end-DEC 2022. They are in the process of updating all the passes online so you should see the new expiry soon. Thought I would pass along the good news! If anyone sees the new extension on their pass, please post to confirm this is happening.

I don't think anyone can outright deny what was said above, since it's possible that it just hasn't been done yet, but I have a handful of passes that should be eligible, and none of them have been extended, so I'm fairly skeptical.

my empty Sun flight pass with expiration April 2022 wasn't extended either. The credits are used for a booking flights n February 2022 that may or may not happen.
Will I have to contact Air Canada to have the flight pass manually extended ?
