Connect with Air Canada as Travelbiz joins Classic Resorts in Cancun.

#Traveltradetogether

Don Shearer (Travelbiz) is part of the Classic Resorts and Air Canada VIP trade familiarisation trip to Cancun.

Ther group flew directly to Toronto with a seamless connection to Cancun where they got to experience the Air Canada Premium Economy Service.

Connecting via Toronto:

Connecting to beyond Canada destinations is a doddle in Toronto Pearson Airport with Air Canada with year-round flights from Dublin.  For International connecting flights from your Dublin flight you follow the dedicated signs for International, scan your passport and get a connection slip which allows you access back into the International departures area to proceed to your gate for your International flight. Baggage is through checked so you can complete the transit in 15-20 minutes. Cancun and Punta Cana are two of the most popular beach destinations available year-round from Dublin but other popular connections are San Jose , Costa Rica, Mexico City, Cancun, Santiago, Chile and many Latin American destinations.

For the US there is a dedicated US connection facility with pre-clearance similar to those in Dublin and Shannon Airports so you arrive as a domestic passenger in the US.  Again, baggage is through checked.

Popular destinations for Irish travellers are Orlando, Cancun, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Family Friendly:

Air Canada is the proud recipient of the Skytrax 2023 best Family Friendly Airline award and they like to show the smallest of their travellers and their families that travel is fun and rewarding.  Products like free advanced family seating, kids activity skypacks, pre bookable kids meals, generous baby baggage allowance and pre boarding for very young children with their families have proved popular with travelling families so the Skytrax award which is voted on by the public is an extra special endorsement that Air Canada is on the right flightpath with these family friendly services!

Premium Economy

Premium Economy is available on all flights from Dublin on Air Canada.  It is a perfect option for the budget conscious corporate travel or the premium leisure traveller looking for something extra in flight.  There is double the baggage allowance (2 x 23kg checked bags) and you have access to priority baggage, checkin and boarding. Onboard is a separate cabin experience with wider seats and seat pitch.  From Dublin there are 21 seats in a 2-3-2 configuration. Premium meal service and beverage cart is offered.
