What a Air Canada flight really costs
The fare is only the start. These are Air Canada's own published prices for bags, seats, priority and the fees that catch people out, with the date we checked each one. Prices vary by route and date, so we show the range the airline publishes.
Search flights with the true cost
Live fares from Kiwi.com across all airlines, with Air Canada's and every other airline's bags, seats and fees added.
Fares come from Kiwi.com at the moment you search and are not stored; you book on Kiwi.com. Bags are Kiwi's search prices for each flight where Kiwi quotes them (the airline's standard bag). Fares include Kiwi.com's service fee; with bags, Kiwi's checkout can add a baggage service fee its search does not show for some airlines (it does not publish these fees), so always check the total on Kiwi before paying. Airline logos are shown to identify the airline. Airport list: OurAirports.
