Travelling on Canada’s largest airline is about to get a bit more enjoyable.
Air Canada, which recently was named the Best Airline in North America by Skytrax, just announced it is now offering complimentary beer, wine, and exclusive Canadian-made snacks to all customers on all flights.
“As part of our commitment to elevating the onboard experience, we’re delighted to introduce even more exciting new options to our menus,” said Scott O’Leary, Air Canada’s Vice President.
“These upgrades offer something for everyone and proudly showcase Canadian brands so that our customers can sit back, relax and kick-start their travels no matter where they’re going.”
Previously, complimentary drinks were only available on flights within Canada, the U.S., and select international routes.
The airline’s new complimentary beer offerings include those from Hop Valley, Creemore Springs Premium Lager, Molson Canadian, and Coors Light, along with red and white wines from Paul Mas. Air Canada will also be the only Canadian airline offering non-alcoholic beer in-flight: Heineken 0.0.
In addition to drinks, Air Canada has upgraded its snack menu. For travelers departing before 10 a.m., MadeGood Mornings Cinnamon Soft Baked Oat Bars are now available, alongside TWIGZ Craft Pretzels and Leclerc’s Celebration Cookies, all of which are Canadian-made.
Passengers flying from Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport can also enjoy Greenhouse Ginger Defence Wellness Shots for a boost on the go. Airplane germs begone! These wellness drinks are also included in Air Canada’s premium snack baskets and Bistro menu, which has several new additions including Summer Fresh Hummus & Crackers, Quaker Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cups, TWIGZ Pretzels, and Smarties.
While air travel may not always be the most enjoyable experience, free beer, wine, and snacks will certainly help to make it a bit more enjoyable. Bon voyage!
