Thanks Tax Dude . I just sent an email.

With the reduction/cancellation of flights to HKG, I decided to write in about my Asia West Canada flight pass. It’s now been extended to December 31, 2022, matching my other passes.

AC’s response:

“We would also like to confirm that the flight pass has been extended to December 31, 2022.

As a goodwill, we are currently only extending to this date however, we would like to advise you to check back closer to the expiry date to see what else can be done.”

Yeah, I said I expected them to be extended to 1 year after the quarantine requirement was dropped (i.e. to Labor Day 2022), but I was not expecting anything like omicron.

I'd expect 1 year after the end of the "final" surge. Or 1 year after it's declared endemic.

since they cancelled many routes to the Caribbean this Winter 2022, I would be disappointed if they don't offer a complimentary extension until end of Winter 2023 for the "Sun" flight passes.

Flight Pass Extension?

Has anyone heard anything about AC extending flight passes again? The conference for which I was planning to use my last 2 passes has just been cancelled due to covid and there's no value for me to extend by 3 months.

I used Tax Dude's advice and my pass was extended to December 31. It took less than a week.

Anyone requested the extension of their Sun Flight pass beyond Dec 31, 2022 due to the suspension of many Caribbean routes in Winter/Spring 2022 ?

I did ask a while ago, using the example of my vacation from April 2022 having to be postponed by a year because of the flight cancellations.

AC extended to Dec 31 2022 and said they would consider a further extension. Not holding my breath.....

I expect the switch from molecular to antigen tests for entry will trigger a new one year extension. I'm not saying it will happen in the next few weeks, but I suspect Feb 28 2023 is going to be the earliest anything will expire.

I hope that you are correct.

I hope there are more flight pass extensions! I have an Asia West Canada Flex pass for travel to Hong Kong. But, it's been rather hard to fly there because flights from Canada have been banned since mid-January. AC was about to resume service next week, but the ban has now been extended to April 20.

I'm considering a India latitude FP, with an extension of would certainly get it.

Any news on Florida Plus Flight Pass Extensions?

I see that a few months back some of us were able to get the Florida+ FP extended to December 2022. When I called AC they did not offer any such extension, and my FP expires in August. HUCA? Or write customer service as some have suggested? Or just wait a bit because it seems so obvious that AC must extend these, given all the cancellations to the Caribbean? Anyone get an extension past December 2022?

Many (all?) flight passes have always had the option of one or two extensions for a price. I think my current flight pass allows for two 3 month extensions for progressively more money. Can we assume that the paid extensions will still be allowed, at the moment from Dec. 31/2022?
