Emirates and Air Canada Extend Codeshare Partnership to Montréal Flights
Emirates and Air Canada have expanded their codeshare partnership to include flights to and from Montréal. The airlines have extended their collaboration from 11 domestic Canadian points to Québec’s largest city. This expansion of services was accomplished following the successful launch in July.
Emirates customers can now plan travel between 11 of the most popular domestic points beyond Montréal and destinations on Emirates’ expansive network. Of course, the major advantage is the ability to conveniently use both airlines’ services on a single ticket.
The expanded network of Canadian points in the codeshare partnership between Emirates and Air Canada now extends to 11 destinations via Montréal. An additional 69 points are accessible from the gateway on an interline basis. Tickets are available via emirates.com and preferred travel agencies.
The codeshare partnership between Emirates and Air Canada offers customers flexibility and choice. Critically, travelers can count on smooth connections via Canada’s two largest cities to points such as Halifax, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Calgary. This is ideal for leisure and business travelers or those visiting family or friends.
Customers traveling from Canadian cities can easily connect to Emirates’ services in Montréal or Toronto. From there, they can fly to destinations across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, via the airline’s hub in Dubai.
Emirates Brings their A380 and Boeing 777 to Canada
On its flights to and from Toronto, Emirates offers daily services to Dubai onboard its popular flagship A380 aircraft. The airline also operates seven weekly flights between Montréal and Dubai, operating its widebody aircraft – the Boeing 777.
Travelers with itineraries on Emirates flights can plan their entire trip on a single ticket and take advantage of hassle-free flight benefits. These advantages include the airline’s baggage allowance and convenient bag check-through to the final destination. This allows passengers to plan their travel itineraries to global destinations with seamless connectivity.
Shared Rewards for Shared Travel
Moreover, members of Emirates’ frequent flyer program, Emirates Skywards, can look forward to earning and redeeming miles on flights of both airlines, courtesy of the partnership.
Baggage check-through is valid for travel out of Canada. International travelers flying to destinations in Canada must clear their baggage with Canadian Customs at the first point of entry (Toronto or Montréal).
