Can you transfer an Air Canada reservation to someone else? I believe domestic Canadian tickets are transferable. Is that accurate? What is the fee?

No.

Unless it is some sort of special ticket such as AC for Business tickets. But ordinary tickets are non-transferable.

That’s not entirely true. The official name change policy for travel agency is here. Intra-canada tickets can be transferred to a new name for a fee or free, depending on the fare brand.
That said, the process involves creating a new PNR so I suspect fare difference would apply.

Edit: At a closer look the policy pdf refers to tickets before 2023-01-11, so it’s probably a covid period policy. There is no published official policy for non-corporate bookings for now, but I think latitude domestic ticket is name changeable.

Name change and transferability are often confused, but not the same. When name change has been allowed, the ticket is re-priced to current fare, change fees charged if applicable, PLUS name change fee if applicable. The purpose was to allow the existing value of a non-refundable ticket to be used by someone else, but the tickets are definitely non-transferable (otherwise people would start re-selling tickets). Some corporate contracts may have specific transferability rules for their tickets.

Name corrections are also handled differently.

Does anyone have a link to this info on an Air Canada web page/document?
