Air Canada & WestJet Are Both Offering 20% Off Select Fall Flights Right Now

You'll need to be quick, though! ✈️
Managing Editor, Canada

If you’re ready to return to the air, some flights just got cheaper! Air Canada’s fall seat sale is happening right now and you can get 20% off select tickets. WestJet is also offering discounted trips and you can even fly to the United States and Mexico.

Just in time for fall to kick-in, both WestJet and Air Canada have launched a seasonal seat sale.

On September 24, select flights are up to 20% off with both airlines and you can fly domestically or internationally.

This includes trips to destinations like Vancouver, Toronto and Winnipeg, as well as international spots like Cancun, Punta Cana, Los Angeles and Palm Springs.

Both companies are offering discounts for travel dates between October 1 and December 16, 2020.

While there’s no rush to jet-off, you’ll need to book ASAP. The two sales end at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.

To make the most of the two seat sales, you can use the discount codes provided on each website.

Both offers have no blackout dates, either. This means you can even get cheap flights around Thanksgiving!

If you need flexibility, the two companies are also promising a flexible booking policy, which means you’ll be able to change your ticket at least once at no extra cost.

WestJet and Air Canada are not the online airlines offering mega deals ahead of the fall season.

Flair Airlines held a similar sale this week with some domestic flights costing as low as $24.

It’s worth noting that the government is currently advising against international travel right now, and those leaving the country will have to quarantine upon their return.

If you’re not ready to get back on a plane right now, there’s plenty of incredible fall road trips you could take across Canada, instead.

Right now, travel within Canada is permitted in most areas. However, some local destinations still have entry restrictions and may require visitors to quarantine.

Before visiting, you should double-check your destination’s most up-to-date public health information.
