Air Canada

Air Canada is one of the most practical airlines for Australians travelling to Canada and North America. With non-stop flights from Sydney and Brisbane to Vancouver, travellers can reach Canada without transiting through the United States while still accessing Air Canada’s extensive network throughout Canada, the USA, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Vancouver serves as Air Canada’s primary Pacific gateway, providing convenient access to the Canadian Rockies, Alaska cruise departures, Eastern Canada and destinations across North America. Direct Australia services offer Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy cabins, making Air Canada equally appealing for premium leisure travellers, cruise passengers and those planning more extensive multi-stop itineraries.

For Australian travellers, Air Canada’s strength is not simply getting to Canada. It is the ability to combine Canada with destinations throughout the USA, Mexico, Alaska and the Caribbean within a single journey.

Air Canada’s premium long-haul product, Signature Class, is available on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Boeing 777 aircraft used on Australian routes. Both aircraft feature fully flat Business Class beds in a 1-2-1 configuration with direct aisle access from every seat.

Brisbane–Vancouver is operated by the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, while Sydney–Vancouver currently operates with the Boeing 777-200LR. The 787-9 features 30 Signature Class suites and 21 Premium Economy seats in a 2-3-2 configuration. The Boeing 777-200LR offers 40 Signature Class seats and 24 Premium Economy seats in a 2-4-2 configuration.

Air Canada’s Signature Suite is one of North America’s standout premium lounge experiences. Located in Toronto and Vancouver, it is available to eligible customers travelling in Air Canada Signature Class on international flights. The Signature Suite offers à la carte dining, premium beverages and a more exclusive environment designed for long-haul premium travellers.

Eligible international Business Class passengers also receive access to Air Canada’s Maple Leaf Lounge network throughout Canada and selected international airports.

While Air Canada is best known for its direct flights between Australia and Canada, its real strength lies in the breadth of destinations available throughout North America and beyond. Through its major gateways in Vancouver, Toronto and Montréal, travellers gain access to more than 50 destinations across the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and selected destinations in South America.

Whether it’s combining the Canadian Rockies with New York, an Alaska cruise with Mexico, or Eastern Canada with a Caribbean beach escape, Air Canada makes it easy to experience multiple countries and regions in a single itinerary.

• Canada, Alaska & Mexico
  Sydney – Vancouver – Anchorage – Cancún – Montréal – Sydney

• Canada & USA
  Sydney – Vancouver – Calgary – Toronto – New York – Sydney

• Canada & Caribbean
  Sydney – Vancouver – Banff – Toronto – Turks & Caicos – Sydney

For travellers looking to maximise the value of a premium airfare, Air Canada provides an easy way to create a true North American adventure, combining multiple countries, climates and experiences through a single airline network.

Air Canada is one of the strongest options for Australians looking to explore Canada and North America beyond a single destination. Its nonstop Vancouver services remove the need to transit through the United States, while its extensive network makes it easy to combine Canada with destinations across the USA, Mexico, the Caribbean and beyond.

The airline is particularly well suited to Canadian Rockies holidays, Alaska cruise extensions, east-to-west Canada journeys and multi-country North American itineraries.

For premium travellers, Signature Class offers a competitive Business Class experience across the Pacific, complemented by premium facilities including the Air Canada Signature Suite and Maple Leaf Lounge network.

Whether your plans involve Banff and Vancouver, New York and Toronto, or Cancún and Montréal, Air Canada provides a flexible and efficient way to experience multiple regions of North America in a single journey.
