Thanks, Andrew. I booked a non-planned trip within Canada using this promotion. Now I hope that a Europe promotion will come back soon, as I was not able to use the previous one due to error messages.

Promotion code expires at midnight in the time zone of the departure city.


Not yet midnight in the time zone of the departure city - I too cannot use this code.

Does anyone know how often promo codes come out for Air Canada Vacations. I am looking to book a trip to vegas, and will wait if there is a chance of the price coming down in the near future, but if they never come out with them, I will just book now. Travelling from Edmonton.

Thanks for any info anyone can give me.

Dear Andrew,

I would appreciate an update in relation to potential availability of promotion code in the next week for flights from Europe to North America. I will be flying in early September.

Thanks for your prompt feedback. A PM is welcome if public response not warranted.

what do you not understand about "he'll post the code when it's available" and he can't give any hints? Read the thread like the rest of us do. You missed the europe code. Watch the thread like anyone else. He's not going to pre-release any info.

I don't think that's how it works. This is one of these new-fangled viral/internet/twitty marketing promotions where you have to watch-this-space to find out the deal. It's all about the buzz you know.

And in any event, there was a Europe promotion in week two so I doubt we'll see another one in this series.

Updated with this week's promo.

I will check to see what happened with the Canada code on Sun.

As Tax Dude posted - I will not reveal what upcoming weeks' codes are (either here or via PM). It will be posted every week and everyone will find out at the same time.

Checked on the Canada code - sorry about that, we made a mistake with the expiry date. It was indeed supposed to be Jul 26 as per the first post, but system had it set for Jul 25. I will post a new code that will be valid until tomorrow night so those who were intending to book on Sun could do so now. First post will be updated with details.

So I think we may see a better price yet. Still 2 months left.

BTW, when I started tracking this fare in June, it was $304, then $274, now $224.
Check your travel dates!

The price for my date has dropped to $204 (albeit for the 6:30 flight when I would have preferred the 8 a.m. one), so works out to $248 all in with the new 10% discount code.

Thank you for the effort. I tried again and did manage to book this time!

I was wondering why I can't use the code for YHZ-GIG?

It says "The promotion code provided can't be used with the selected route. Please verify and try again."

I don't think it's just YHZ, I can't get it to work for any departure point, traveling to GIG. Maybe because of the JJ operated segment or something? No problems getting it to give the discount to GRU.

Cheers,

AC operated flights only - codeshare/flights operated by non AC don't qualify.
