They’re raising the “bar” on in-flight drink service.
No longer does Air Canada’s cattle class have to pay a premium for some high-altitude hooch. The carrier has announced that it is offering coach passengers complimentary beer, wine and snacks on all of its flights moving forward.
The initiative was initially rolled out on economy flights within the US and Canada, but has since been expanded to all their routes, including the US and Mexico, Aerotime reported.
And it’s not just stale airline peanuts flyers will be receiving, apparently.
On morning flights before 10 am, flyers will now have the opportunity to dine on MadeGood Mornings Cinnamon Bun Soft Baked Oat Bars, per the airline’s release.
Meanwhile, for after 10:30am, the airline has tacked on Greenhouse Ginger Defence Wellness Shots, which also appear in Air Canada’s premium snack baskets and Bistro menu.
In that vein, the carrier has expanded the Air Canada Bistro to include more “Canadian-made choices, from Summer Fresh Hummus & Crackers and Quaker Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cups to bold new TWIGZ Sour Cream & Onion Pretzels and fan-favorite Smarties,” per the release.
Plus, with the addition of Heineken 0.0, Air Canada is now the only carrier in North America to serve a non-alcoholic brew inflight.
“As part of our commitment to elevating the onboard experience, we’re delighted to introduce even more exciting new options to our menus,” said Scott O’Leary, Vice President, Loyalty & Product at Air Canada. “These upgrades offer something for everyone and proudly showcase Canadian brands so that our customers can sit back, relax and kick-start their travels no matter where they’re going.”
