Air Canada encouraging YYZ stopovers

Air Canada has partnered with Tourism Toronto designed to encourage U.S. originating international customers to take advantage of their connection to “experience Canada's largest and most vibrant city,” the airline said.

Customers travelling between the U.S. and Europe or Asia via the airline's Toronto Pearson global hub will now have an opportunity to pause their journey in the city for up to one week with no stopover fee.

The extended stopover offer is available to U.S. originating international customers connecting through Toronto while travelling from more than 50 U.S. cities to Europe or Asia and can be applied to either the outbound or inbound portion of the trip. Customers can stay up to one week in Toronto for the same price as a usual roundtrip ticket – without any additional fees for an interrupted journey. The offer is valid for flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express or Air Canada rouge.
