Air Canada launches a winter seat sale with sub-$300 transcon fares

Air Canada has opened a winter seat sale covering most domestic transcontinental routes, with return fares from Toronto and Montreal to Vancouver and Calgary landing under CAD $300 on selected dates.\n\nThe sale fares are booked in Standard and Flex classes, which means Aeroplan points and Status Qualifying Miles still accrue — a meaningful difference from Basic fares that earn nothing toward status.\n\nBest dates cluster mid-week in late January and early February. Booking through the airline directly keeps change flexibility on Flex fares, and stacking a card that earns bonus points on airline purchases adds a few thousand points on a typical booking.
