Where would you go if you scored $5,000 toward your next jet-setting adventure?

It's a real question you'll have to answer if you win this contest. And all you have to do for your shot at $5,000 in Air Canada eGift Cards* is vote for your favourite destinations in the 2026 Air Canada Vacations Travellers' Top Picks Awards.

Back for a second year, the Travellers' Top Picks Awards are decided by popular vote across 10 categories. So, not only can you vote for your favourite spot, you could win what you need to get there faster.

In 2025, over 100,000 Canadians voted for their top picks, creating a list with a mix of iconic spots and surprising gems.

Hawaii, USA, made the list twice, with Kauai taking the "Adventure Travel" title and Honolulu earning the top spot for "Family." With a similar tropical vibe, "Beach Vacation" went to Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos.

Singapore's unique blend of modern luxury and bustling culture earned it the top spot in the "Hidden Gem" category, while neighbouring Bali, Indonesia, was the top pick for "Wellness."

Heavy-hitters took out the final two categories: Paris, France, for "Romance" and New York, USA, for "City Break."

The same categories are open again this year, and the big question is whether these destinations will hang on to their spots or if new Travellers' Top Picks will be revealed. The power is in your hands — but only if you get your vote in before June 30, 2026.
