Latest addition to flight pass family makes multiple trips to the
    continent easy from Canada and the United States

    MONTREAL, Feb. 18 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada is reviving and modernizing
the time-honoured tradition of the Grand Tour of Europe by introducing the
'Europe Pass', the newest member of its growing family of flight passes.
    "Air Canada knows that Europe is a timeless destination and one visit is
never enough. So we are making it easier and more affordable than ever to make
multiple trips from Canada to Europe through the year with our 'Europe Pass'.
Customers who buy the 'Europe Pass' will have a choice of up to nine major
European cities depending on the season so you can catch a spring fashion show
in Paris, enjoy Oktoberfest in Munich, Christmas shop in London or visit any
of the other great European destinations Air Canada flies to from Canada
whenever you want," said Charles McKee, Vice President Marketing at Air
Canada. "Whether you are visiting these fabulous destinations for business or
pleasure, Air Canada will transport you there in grand style with our new and
refurbished fleet featuring lie flat Executive First suites, hundreds of hours
of personal digital audio and visual entertainment at every seat, Aeroplan
miles and much more."
    On sale beginning today the 'Europe Pass' is valid for one year from the
time of purchase. It is available with six flight credits (three round trips)
for a single traveller or eight flight credits for up to two travellers (four
round trips for one or two round trips for two) and comes in three types to
suit every budget, Executive First and two Economy Class versions. The 'Europe
Pass' is available for purchase in both Canada and the United States for
flights from four zones covering Eastern and Western Canada and the Eastern
and Western U.S. Prices begin as low as $2,994 for travel from Canada
(US$2,394 for travel from the United States) including applicable taxes for
six flight credits for an individual traveller. The 'Europe Pass' is valid for
travel between Canada and Europe or between most of Air Canada's U.S.
destinations and Europe, but not flights within Europe.
    Until April 17, those purchasing the 'Europe Pass' will also be able to
take advantage of a bonus pass offer of two or four flight credits anywhere in
their originating North American zone for as little as $378 plus applicable
taxes (US$425, taxes included for travel from the United States).
