My least favourite airline is getting great press. And making money.

This traveller just sent them $1060.

I purchased something called a Western Winter Getaway Flight Pass (2 month).

I can fly free any Tuesday, Saturday or Sunday from January 8 through Tuesday March 04, 2008. From most Western Canadian cities to Western American cities to which Air Canada flies.

It’s good value for me. Though inevitably I will have to fly back to Canada merely to turn around next day and fly South again. Air Canada does not fly between U.S. destinations and the Pass is not valid on their partners.

Fine print:

Available only to Canadian residents with a valid address, Aeroplan membership and PIN number at time of purchase and during the entire validity period.

… Flight credits can be used only on Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz and Air Canada regional partners with Air Canada flight numbers. Codeshare flights operated by United Airlines and United Express are excluded

… Flight credit booking changes are subject to availability; a $75 CA fee per direction, plus taxes, applies to booking changes and cancellations

This pass is only available until December 2, 2007.
